Lots to share today :)
Firstly - I have finished my part of Tina's RR from Stitch and Stash. She is doing the Calendar Cats and I chose to do February. I have not done the back stitch on the flowers because I cannot find the details for the thread colour. I do think they are cute. It's next stop is Dusty in USA.
I'm not sure what I'm going to stitch next, I have plenty to choose from LOL. I might try to get my Travelling Stitcher finished.
As a member of Stitch and Stash I have launched an April Fool Exchange - it's a non-stitchy exchange and of course has a surprise. This exchange is open to everyone and I've set up it's own blog April Fool Exchange . Please pass the work around, thanks.
April 24th is Meet Up day here in Nuneaton. It's 10am - 4pm, and afterwards we're going for a pub meal. Again I have set a blogup - all details are here Nuneaton 2404 Everyone is welcome the more the merrier.
In half term I visited Julie and had a lovely afternoon. I am disappointed that now we have decorated lots of my small stitchy can no longer go on the walls .Julie has lots of her work displayed in stand up frames and I have decided to do the same and cover the conservatory windowsill. This idea did cause a problem as my wall ones had no stands on the back. After many emails to my favourite framers (Frame Express) I finally understood which measurements they needed - good job I don't teach maths- and 7 new backs will be ready today at the huge cost of £5.00 yes total price lol. They are in Coventry so no postage but they are cheap with that too. If you need a frame they are fab and their online programme helps you get the sizes and colours right with the mounts too.
These are my International Bears - countries where we have friends or family; they include: Norway, Canada, USA, France and United Kingdom. The charts were freebies from Vermillion Stitchery but quite a few years ago.
And this shows themaltogether. Theone infront is my sewing picture.It was sent to me as a birthday present many years ago as a kit - it had cost my USA friend just $1 including the gold charm.
That's about all my update although I do feel I've forgottensomething LOL. Thanks for reading, hope you join in the echange and/or come along to the Meet Up.

Nice idea to arrange those stitched pictures on the windowsills, they look great.
Tina's RR looks brilliant!
What a lovely way of displaying your sttiched pieces.
Your stitched pictures are gorgeous.
That cat is a cutie Clare and I love how you have arranged those bears.
I so wish I was nearer as I would love to come to the meet-up. You do a wonderful job arranging this.
I'm sure it will be another great meet.
The calendar kittys are super, i wonder which one Dusty will choose to do?
Stitching looks fab on the windowsill.
The calendar cat is lovely.
And a great idea about the framing,they'll look great altogether on a window sill.
Lovely display of work Clare. What are you working on at the moment, I mean for you (I say that with a smile because you are always doing things for others!)
Hi Clare!
I love your blog and enjoy your pictures very much. My favorite one is a cross-stiching frog (3 january 2010). I would like to try to do it! It looks like a very interesting project. Can you do me a favor, please, and help me find its chart so that I could buy it? I'd appreciate it a lot! I don't have my own blog. My e-mail address is: n-leonova@mail.ru
Thanks,
Natasha
I love the idea of having stitching in stand up frames. Thanks for the site details, have bookmarked it. Love the piece you've stitched for Tina's RR - so cute. :0)
