Updates - some old, some new

I've not been stitching too much recently, as I've been a bit under the weather, however I do have a couple of things to show.

Neither of these are completely finished, but it is hoped that they will be by the end of the month.

1. FREEBIE - Mosey N Me - Ten Lords-A-Leapin':

Design - Ten Lords-a-Leapin'

Designer - Mosey N Me

Fabric - 14 count Ecru

Threads - DMC (as per chart)

French knots exchanged for Beads

Obviously it isn't finished yet - just have a little backstitch and the beadwork to go. Never liked french knots, always preferred beads, so they must be added to the snowman, and to the lord-a-leapin'.

2. NON-FREEBIE - Cross Stitcher Magazine's Book of Country Flowers - Early Purple Orchid:

I started this way back in March 2010 - Four years ago, roughly. Still not finished, but hopefully soon to be, as I started it initially for my Grandmother's birthday. Given she will be 90 in a matter of weeks, it's about time I finished it, don't you think?

So this is where I am up to at the moment. I still need to get an Easter card stitched for my boyfriend, plus I have some other stitching that needs (or wants or is calling out to me) to be done, so perhaps I might have something of a stitching session soon, to try and get through some of the backlog!

Easter Stitching

My second Valentine's Design has been finished, but I can't show it yet as it is on its way overseas to my boyfriend.

I can, however, show you the first of my Easter Stitching.

In keeping with what appears to be a Freebie theme, here's another. This time by Mosey 'n Me.

FREEBIE - Mosey N Me - 'Magic Happens':

Design - Magic Happens

Designer - Mosey 'n Me

(http://www.moseynme.com/free.php)

Fabric - 14 count Ecru

Threads - DMC (as listed in chart)

Black beads for eyes

I'm seriously considering stitching another of the freebies listed on the Mosey 'n Me page, as they look like a lot of fun.
