Spooks, Sewing and Smiles.

Well, I have survived my first week in Blogland and I must say it has been fun discovering different blogs and meeting, (if that's the correct term?), some lovely people. Thank you all so much for the comments I have enjoyed reading them immensely and would like to apologise for not having the chance to reply. I've had a busy week this week but it hasn't stopped me from starting a new stitching project as well as achieving a page finish and picking up a whole new skill!

The new start is Spooky Countdown by The Primitive Hare.  Although the chart was first released in 2013 it is now being stitched as a stitch-a-long and has it's own group here and should finish around Halloween. I already have some catching up to do!

                                     

The second project for this week The Cheshire Cat by Mrs Peggotty's Arts - five pages finished and only thirteen pages to go. Every stitch of this has been thoroughly enjoyable so far but I'm a huge fan of her art and charts so I may be slightly bias!

I have always wanted to be able to use a sewing machine to create useful and pretty things and thanks to a lovely lady called Christina I finally can. Above is my first attempt at making a project folder/bag to keep my current stitches in one piece. It still needs a button and it isn't as straight as I would like but I am proud of it all the same.
