Update on hardanger calendar partwork

Pictures will be added as soon as I get home...I am writing some of this at work as I have a little bit of downtime...

I finished February last night around 11.30pm and needed to hit the sack, so only forwarded a pic to Vicki so she can see...she says it looks fabulous:)

Now I am on unchartered territory as I have not done anything further, but she promised me March is easy...

I am really enjoying getting back to my partwork...but I am feeling a bit bad about neglecting my Siamese cats...I think I will work on them this weekend as all I've got left is the white on the bodies...then I can finish it off as a pillow I think...not sure yet...but I think it would be sooooo pretty as a pillow...would probably hide it somewhere until we've moved to our forever home...don't want to ruin it in a tiny house where I cannot put things on display a bit better...

gotta go now...will continue when I get home...

Now, January is supposed to have beads and not picots in the cutwork, but unfortunately I misread the instructions twice with about a year and a half inbetween...first time I just did woven bars...this time I did woven bars with picots when it should actually have been WRAPPED bars and beads...after redoing the wrapped bars once I did not want to risk loosening the threads any further, so left it as is, which means my January is much simpler than the original... but it is still pretty:)

Ok, here are the pictures:)

    Oh, I can't wait to see your pics. Grats on the "finish" Ylva. Have fun with your cats. That's a beautiful piece.

    Thank you Julie:) I am really pleased with it so far:) I am only worried I will make a stupid mistake and have to redo the whole thing on a new piece of fabric...so I am overly cautious:) I still messed up with January...not sure how I can misread the instructions SOOO badly...they are soo clear...

    LOL, I had to do lots of reweaving on Feb, so don't feel bad. I was following the diagram and not the instructions, and Vicki removed threads that were not supposed to be removed in the diagram to make it easier to follow. Ooooops!! But that's all right. It still looks pretty! I'm glad I'm not the only one to mis read the instructions though. Your pics look great. I hope you continue to do well with this. It is beautiful!!!

Slimming World update!

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! I lost 6 1/2 pounds, which means I have reached my 1st stone milestone:) I am so surprised but happy...I have gained 1/2pound three weeks in a row because my period was 3weeks late. Now my period has come and gone, and it just shows how much my body is affected by the f***king period...  (and those stars are hiding REA and nothing else...lol) So, tonight it is Nando's dinner...chicken, coleslaw and ratatouille (or perhaps some lovely chips) to celebrate weightloss as well as payday...I do normally let myself enjoy a nice treat of some sorts after my weigh in...that way it is easier to stay on track the rest of the time...:) I am getting on with my Siamese cats, and am about halfway through with the white, and once that is done I am finished and can make them into a cushion cover:)

Refreshing my blog (long time coming)...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a very long time. Towards the end of the last period of blogging I completely lost track of my craftiness and there was just too much going on in life. Now I am finally feeling like myself again, I have started a web shop on Etsy and have started selling my jewellery from a shop in town. I have not yet been brave enough to do a craft fair, but I have my eyes on one in October and then it is a matter of doing some Christmas fairs to get my name out there. Below you can see some of the things I have made, and I will be posting my finished items whatever they may be both on Instagram, Facebook and here, planning on going a bit more in depth here for whoever wants to know more:) So, here we go:) This was a commission, made up of peacock colour freshwater cultured pearl nuggets and silver-plated copper stardust beads and findings. It consists of a ring, ear studs, bracelet and necklace. The lady who ordered it absolutely loves it:) Below are so...

Notice

So...I have told people at work that I am leaving, and feel sooo relieved:) Did not enjoy it for a second, but the reaction was ok, and the fact that I am gonna hand my notice in tomorrow (still won't leave until middle/end July) is gonna help my manager start looking for a replacement straight away, and hopefully I can train my successor before I leave. Other than that I am just potting about looking for inspiration even though I have way too much to do already...been out wtih Tara for walks yesterday and today in teh drizzle...halfway through today's walk the sun came out an dit was really warm, but now it is grey again...I am not complaining too much as it is a relief after so much sun...the ground needs it as well. Am gonna take my sewing machine down to the kitchen table tomorrow, and my fabrics, and am gonna play around a bit whilst my husband works nights over the weekend...am hoping to have some pictures to show for it:)
