The Last TUSAL and a Little Stitching

Busy busy busy time of year, today I hope to get the last of my gifts for people.

 

Anyway here is my last TUSAL it's been fun and wow did I do some stitching this year.

Here is all of the year 2015 threads together in a box, now they will all go into the bin.

Onto my stitching

I have been working on Mini Pirate and got page 7 all stitched 'happy dance'!

I've started page 10 which is under page 7 as its a easy half page to stitch and my goal is to do it before the year ends. Wish me luck as I'm really into my colouring right now.

Here is page 7 and a little of page 10

As I don't think I will get to post again before Christmas I wish you all a happy one and I will do a post afterwards or if I get page 10 done... Well you get it.

 

Happy Christmas Stitching!!!

New, old and TUSAL

Where do I begin? 

Lets start with November's TUSAL just one more to go.

Ok Now for the stitching.

Here is more of Sweet Pea before I put her away. She now has legs.

After Sweet Pea, 

I felt like stitching one of my old wips and after looking at them I got out Rose Petal Angel.

But there's a problem I've lost part of the key that tells you what colour to stitch. Lucky that I can go by what I have already done for most of it. You should have seen me hunting for it, it was a mess. lucky I still have the part that tells me the combined colours and the details/back stitch.

   

As I hope you can see I only did a little on her arm.

I got sidetracked by family and now another gift to stitch. 

Which brings me to a new start called Tiger Reflection

Here is what it will look like

 

And now

I forgot what it's like to stitch on black. No time limit on this one. 

That's good as it's going away I'm thinking I will now stitch more of Rose Petal Angel or QS April Fairy, I'm not sure yet, maybe both.

Other news my sister is the drawer in the family and I asked her if she would do me a cover for my A2 book. I told her it had to have cross stitch title and fantasy. 

She ended up doing a A3 which I can still work with and left me to colour. 

Here it is. I'm hoping you can see it and no I have not coloured  it yet. I will show you when I have the page A2 done.

On the colouring, so many books are out now for adults to colour and this week I got into it too. So much so that I want to get a few tomorrow when I'm out. Here's the book I have and what I've done.

 

Pale in the photos, its a little brighter then this.

I've also been thinking about next year as I got my Calendars 

I love Love Love my Fairyland Calendar

Anyway I'm not going to join a group or tell you I'm only going to stitch on this chart because you all know I did not keep that one this year. No I'm just going to stitch and post on what I do. Easy!

Well that's it for me. Happy Stitching!!!  

I'm doing it again, and Tusal

 Hi all 

yes I'm doing it again I can not make up my mind on what to stitch. 

Maybe you can help me?

What out of my wip page would you like to see stitched and finished? 

So it's TUSAL time again so let's start with that.

Now let see 

I've been stitching sweet pea. I only just got the rest of the beads and kreinik in the mail, so that's good.

I got out the PR Sal and did a little on step 12.

Just have to do her hair and backstitch.

Then I started working with black on page 1 of QS April Fairy

And today I finished a little one as it was my birthday on the 5th October and I thought this was cute, he is called Monty the bear. He was a free gift with a cross stitch magazine.

So that's it I think. Let me know what you would like to see me stitch now as I still have know idea what I'm going to start stitching.

Happy stitching!!!

Oh and thinks for all your comments they mean a lot to me.

TUSAL

Not a lot of stitching as I've been sick, and I'm spring cleaning. It's out with the stuff I don't want anymore. It's amazing just how much stuff we keep. Bags of clothes, shoes, CDs, lots of paper and a few nick knacks, all out the door.

Here is my TUSAL 

Happy stitching'!!!

Tusal, pirate and a new start

Hi all, 

Here is my TUSAL, 

Mini pirate page 7. I have only stitched about half. She is on 18 count Aida. 

I got a little bored with her.

My new start is sweet pea fairy by Joan Elliott but I'm not going to stitch her wings so she will just be called sweet pea. I've had to send away for the kreinik and beads so hope to get them soon.

Here she is so far.

And last is my girl Jessie just before a walk. She has grown so fast and is so playful. Loves people but not other dogs oh well better that then the other way round.

Happy Stitching!!!

TUSAL

Happy Stitching!!!!

Tusal and a little bit more

Hi here is my Tusal for June with a pot of my mums flowers.

So pretty!

So I was going to start a new cross stitch kit but I saw all the back stitch I was going to have to do and so the kit went away. I hate back stitch right now.

I got out the elephant latch hook instead and did a few rows here's a pic

I also started page 6 of mini pirate 

I'm thinking I will now just stitch on her until done but who knows.

Here is Jessie just before a walk with mum holding her, so cute.

Happy Stitching!!!

TUSAL And Stitching

Hi here's my Tusal

And here's my stitching of QS April Fairy So far on page 4.

I got sick of black so I'm now going to fill in with color when I get a chance to.

  

Happy Stitching!!!!

TUSAL For April

Happy Stitching!!!

Tusal for March

hi I would like to thank you all for your nice comments for Sleep Time, he is cute but I'm glad he is done. I will get him framed after easter.

March Tusal is made up of a lot of leftover thread from sleep time. The reds on the top is from what I've been trying to find the time to stitch Mini Pirate, the other half of page 4. Maybe I will get it done, maybe not. You will all just have to wait and see.

It's been nice to stitch what I want for a change. It ends on the 31st March thou and then I have to pick up The Rose Of Sharon again. So do not want to stitch her but it is what it is.

Also because I have not been on my computer or blog for a while, I see I'm behind in my reading and what you all are stitching hope to fix this in the next week or so when I should have more free time on my hands. 

By the way have you ever stitched in your hair? I ask because I have long hair right now and I was stitching away and realised I had stitched a strand of my hair with the thread, opps I had to pull it out, easy to do but I would love to know if this happens to you? do you just leave it or pull it out? I'm not talking about a lot of hair here after all. 

 

Happy stitching!!

TUSAL #2

What's stitching 2015

Opps I did write this post 27th Dec but it's from a draft so sorry it's came up with 4 days ago.

Hi, I hope you all had a great Christmas.

First I would like to say a big thank you to all of you that have left me a comment or become a follower this year. I might not reply to you but I love all your feedback to my stitching. I hope you will leave me many more in 2015.

So what's on for 2015?

I have 3 charts that must be stitched in 2015. 

They are gifts but I will still get to show you as I stitch them because they don't look at my blog. 

Over Christmas I stitched on all 3 so here they are:

The Rose Of Sharon

Here is what she looks like as of today

Sleep Time (New Start)

And So far

Story keep Seasons Spring

So Far (New Start) 

I also hope to get the PR Sal all stitched up in 2015

 

This is what it looks like so far

Now as you know I'm not doing the stitch from stash sal in 2015 but I did want to join a sal, something fun and easy and so for 2015 I'm doing

TUSAL by itsdaffycat@blogspot.com.au

Just put your cut off thread in a vase or jar and take a photo by the date every month.

My photo's will also have angels or fairies I have around the house it's where I got my blog name from. So I hope you all don't mind if I post a vase of thread every month, after I post the thread will go into the bin and I start again. I just have to remember not to put them in the bin before the photo. 

So that's the plan for 2015 and everything else I stitch or start is a bonus. 

Happy stitching!! And see you all in the new year.
