Birds & Seasons / HAED BB SAL update 13.09.2013

Post by JuWildman »

Hello all, I've not updated here for ages although I have been stitching away. I've also learnt how to crochet, so I've been making a granny square blanket for Dexter :D

But here's the main 2 I've been working on - Birds & Seasons is for my OH's Gran's 90th Birthday - I need to get this done for November.

Image

And the HAED SAL SK Trick or Treat - 1 page done.

Image

And I can't update after so long without a photo or three of Dexter:

Watching Cloudbabies (his most favourite show):

Walking with his daddy:

Thanks everyone :D

I'm going to try and post a bit more regularly in the future! I might need some motivation on the Birds & Seasons - I do love the design but I have to do it for a deadline and even though it's a few months away, I'm not good at stitching when I have to. So I'm not to stitch my Trick or Treat until at least the robin is finished!

Oh, here's a link to the finished design:
Birds and Seasons

I'm looking forward to stitching autumn the most so will probably leave that one until last.

Great work on Birds & Seasons! I also have a couple of things that have upcoming deadlines (as well as other things I just want to stitch for myself), so I understand the feeling!

:wub: Birds and Seasons and it looks as though you are almost halfway through it too. I am sure you will finish it in time for such a momentous occasion.

Great to see Dexter and his Daddy too. He has grown a lot - as they do in childhood. Enjoy him. :applesauce: :D :D

Hi all, another update on Birds and Seasons - more than halfway through now :dance: I'm trying really hard not to stitch anything else (other than greetings cards) until it's finished... we'll see how long that lasts :lol:

Image

And of course the obligatory Dexter photos!

Here he is doing some knitting with some wool he took from my stash bag and tangled up, and some chopsticks:

The birds are really coming along nicely and they'll be beautiful! I am working on a project for a friend (she is actually giving it as a gift) that has to be done for Christmas. I should have no problem doing it, but it is taking me away from my other projects. I feel like I'm cheating on them!

Dexter is adorable!!!!
