BFF RAL - an October finish

I was feeling inclined towards single colour stitches tonight, so this is actually a finish. 


What it will get in the way of next steps is yet to be decided, as there are 4 in the pattern and I contemplate whether to stitch them as 4 entirely separate entities or a line of 4.  We shall see.

And it may come back out in October for show and tell, if Jo (http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com happens to host a Halloween Hop.

BFF RAL- little wins

Sometimes in your life you need a quick win.. a job that gives you satisfaction in being Done.

Tonight I managed 2 wins, some minor bits of mending on a dressing gown and fleecy hoodie.  Had some at work too, creating a development plan that makes sense for both my current situation and my future thinking career-wise.  So a good day all round. 


Alongside some more 'October stitches' I felt like I achieved something tonight.

BFF RAL - obligation upheld

Back to a bit of baby sampler this week,  cos I feel like if I don't start back then I'll not want to keep going.

The beginnings of the shelf, with a good amount of one bracket and a start on the other side.

BFF RAL- out of season

I didn't have enough 'spoons' for the baby sampler alongside nattering tonight.

So here's a bit of progress on a stitch which may or may not surface again in late October ...muhaha.


It's entirely delightful to be stitching in a single colour.

BFF SAL 16 - FFO..well almost

Let's not count the framing part or it'll be UFO for years probably teehee! Square frames are hard to come by.


I'm actually quite pleased with an entirely accidental curve on the harbour wall in the foreground... couldn't have done it if I'd tried!!

The backstitch has been harder work than the pattern justified though, so it shall remain a single piece and not form part of a set as originally planned.
