Havent updated for ages but ive been a busy bee...

Life got busy so my updates on Stichery didn't happen ... However I've done LOADS of stitching and even enrolled to do an embroidery day course in October (that was the earliest date!) Super excited for that. I've been making my way through my project list and have now complete the wedding guest book sign - here is a sneaky peak of it though the completed version I'm saving till the wedding ---->
I love it as it fits with our Gothic (ish) theme to the wedding. Pattern is from CrossStitcher <3

I couldn't go through the Jubilee without stitching Jan Constantine's crown. I stitched it onto a cheap string top from Primark.















Following a busy year at work our staff development day was kindly changed from e-learning etc to a fun day - for me this entailed a bit of yoga and chocolate rose making - i was pleased with my first attempted though it was rather difficult as the chocolate melts very quickly in hot hands













A new project has been added to my ever growing list - My mums house warming gift - She has definately chosen one of the hardest cross stitches ive done - but hey, im not one to shy away from a challenge - It features this beautiful Victorian rose and ornate designs. The colours are really beautiful and i look forward to posting the finished piece.
