Project Update: Week Three

Here is the progress on my new Babushka Sampler pattern...

Not moving along as fast as I had hoped.

I must confess I nearly started another project...a Dolly Dingle pincushion.

But no I restrained myself and thought I should be writing lines...

I must not start another project without fininshing one first.

Still on target to be finished by Easter.

Project Update: Week Two

Well not a lot of stitching has been done this week - there seems to have been too much screaming going on...from the kids as well as me!!

Just to remind you here is week one...

Week One

Now this week I am this far along.....

Week Two

I am aiming to have it complete by Easter but we are moving house then so maybe I will aim for Labour weekend instead!

Hope all your stitching projects are going well.

Stay tuned for another enthralling update next Monday.

Sneak peek: New Russian doll cross stitch pattern

While Oliver was at daycare this morning and Madam was sleeping (we are having a good sleep day!) I thought I would get started on a new stitching pattern.

My original 'Two Little Babushkas' pattern....

...is still the most popular one so I thought I would add a few more 'girls' to the collection.

The pattern is a sampler of 6 dolls that can be stitched all together or used individually to embellish tea towels or bibs or anything at all.

This is a shot taken on my computer screen...

I am hoping to get a chance to stitch it up to make sure it works - fingers crossed for well behaved children with co-ordinated nap times!

Patterns to stitch!

"Two Little Babushkas"

I have jsut added a cross stitch & tapestry page to my blog to help me keep track of what patterns I have available!

Find them all listed here

"Mushroom Babushka"

I am working on some super cute Christmas patterns, little gingerbread men and xmas puddings ideal for deorations or adding festive touches to tea towels and table cloths etc and they should be available soon.
