As I’m sure you all
know, today is a very special day for those born on the 29th
February, because they get to celebrate their birthday on the actual date that
they were born, an occurrence that only happens once every four years.
So if you are one of
the lucky ones ( or unlucky, depending how you look at it) then I wish you a
very happy birthday and hope you have had a wonderful day.
And seeing as today is
a very special day, of course it deserves a very special new start and I had just the
thing sitting in my sewing room, waiting for the right moment.
‘My Sewing Box’ , designed by Jeanette Douglas.
As you would expect
from Jeanette, this is a project full of ‘mini’ projects that are crammed packed with pretty
designs, specialist stitches and all stitched in beautiful, luscious colours of silks.
I have decided to
start with the band sampler.
I’ve also work on ‘Palace
of the Winds’ from Jan Hicks, giving it another 6 days of stitching, and almost
finishing that big semi-circle near the centre. The only other thing
to report this week is a little bit of haul.
I’ve noticed recently that
a few people are stitching the Dimensions Gold Collection Petites ‘Coffee
Shoppe’ and as much a love the design, after the fun and games I had stitching ‘A
Kiss for Santa’ last year, I said I would never stitch another petite.
So what did I go and
do………..
You’ve guessed it, I
went and ordered it and ‘Toy Shoppe’ too, so I now have two to stitch, Lol!
So that’s it for
February.
I worked on a total of
11 projects over the month, had 8 new
starts, 5 finishes and stitched on all 29 days, so it was a fun packed month. No FFO's though this month.
Spring is just around
the corner, hopefully, I’ll see you all next month.
Happy Stitching!
