Stitching HDs

I can now reveal the gift I stitched for Hazel who won my Blogaversary draw. I stitched a hardanger biscornu.

Thread - DMC perle 8~ & 12#, DMC 603, DMC 3348

I have also made some ornaments for Aimetu's Stitchery.


TW Design - Beginner Whitework Ornament

Fabric - 28ct evenweave in ecru
Thread - DMC stranded cotton Ecru
Mill Hill beads - #00123 cream

Both these items are for sale at the Stitchery - the designs are by kind permission of TW Designs and Six Stranded Sweets.

On Sunday we went to Monkey Forest as mum had won some tickets. It's a great day out, the monkeys are in an enclosure which you freely walk around. They are sitting all around you and walk across your path. You are not allowed to touch them but you are so close it's amazing.










and finally...

I have lost another 1.5 pound making a total now of 12 lbs lost in 8 weeks - I am so pleased and it's really easy.
