wow, can't believe how long it's been since I last posted or spent any time on the forums, let's just say life is pants lately, I won't bore you with the details but I haven't had the best time. I've been keeping my blog going and I've been stitching away so I have some new things to share with you

Blue Rose Fairy progress:



Another project I completed when I was feeling particularly grumpy! I've linked it as it's a bit rude

http://flossybobbin.blogspot.com/2011/05/bad-week.html

I've been doing a fair bit of embroidery too, fancied something a bit different so I started out by making and stitching this Axolotl pattern, pics aren't great because the fabric is so bright, he looks much nicer in person



I also signed up for the Wild Olive embroidery class "all in the details" and here are the projects I've completed so far:











I also embroidered a little pressie for my friend Emma who's been learning Welsh, it's a swear but as it's in Welsh I think it's ok to show a pic (don't google if you're easily offended!)



And finally I've completed another January challenge piece, the horrific hardanger as I'm now calling it, what an awful kit! I'd like to do some more hardanger on some nice fabric to see the difference



That's all for now, I'll spend some time catching up on everyone's stitching over the next few days, I've missed the forum

Blue Rose fairy is looking beautiful and I absolutely love all your embroidery projects!

Some lovely work

The Blue Rose fairy is just amazing. So many threads you have parked. Keeping track of them must be a job all in itself. I am very impressed.
I really like your embroidery projects too. The flowers are so pretty. Neat projects too.

thanks for your comments all

I just put the chart for the linked piece on the freebies page of my blog if anybody is feeling like stitching something naughty

Great finishes! You've been learning a lot of new techniques.
