BFF SAL 10 (yes really)

Yes it's definitely the 10th. And I know it's not the same item this time,  but enough of a theme and similar size to count as one.

Lots of dotting about in a variety of shades for me.  Still hard to see the finished item in the progress so far.

BFF SAL 10 (I think). So Much Brown!

Felt like I was struggling this week,  weird how much enthusiasm can wax and wane throughout a project.

Little bits of dark red in there just to break up the browns a bit.  Still no sign of it looking like the item it will become though teehee.

An FFO and a sort-of-SAL

This week I finished my mini stitch from last week,  it's not a post box, it's an electric guitar!

This little kit was from Mouseloft, just a random Amazon purchase to have a musical stitch.

And then tonight we began BFF SAL?10? - Technically not quite a SAL as we are working on different items,  but on a theme and on the same kind of fabric.   Got to be even harder to guess what this one is!  Am torn between an owl wing or a superhero Cape at the moment,  and I know what it's going to hahaha 😆.

The Bear's Essentials... and a teeny new start - BFF RAL

Yippee,  the Bear is finished!

I've enjoyed this little cover kit, even if some bits are more Unique than they ought to be. I'd expected the random fur to be annoying,  it was easier than the clothing backstitch. 

So time left over and guilt made me pull out a new start as I didn't have the energy for a bigger project tonight. Can you tell what it's going to be yet?  It looks clear to me but my BFF thinks otherwise,  so any guesses?

An FFO, a cosy companion and a bear - BFF RAL night

Firstly,  the FFO... well, I say FFO, it's framed and hung on the wall.  But it went up there without being stitched into position and has a slight misalignment... so it will get fixed at some point in the future,  but as there's only me looking at it then it's not currently stressing me enough to rush into that.

This week I had a fancy for quilting, so I did another 12 inch square of my current WIP quilt.  Forgot to take a photo before I removed it from the hoop, so here it is keeping my knees warm instead.  It's a nice cosy hobby for autumnal weather. 

And finally,  a bit more progress on the little bear cover kit. Looks like he's wearing a Maharajah's slippers,  or some awesome running blades for a Paralympic champion.

BFF RAL 2, a finish and more bear

YAY!  Kimono is finished!!  The cornucopia is using a single strand of 783 along with a blue Kreinik blending filament.  Much less stressful than the metallic gold to work with.  The medallion at the top uses a strand of medium pink with the same blending as I thought it weird to have it the same colour as the cornucopia. 

And I even had a little time left for teddy who got the beginningsof his trousers.

BFF RAL (random along)

We're still between ideas for a joint project,  so more random stitches this week.  This week I have been working on the kimono from my Joan Elliot Oriental book.

That bottom cornucopia shape holding the flowers calls for metallic gold as per the border, I'm not convinced as it's very scratchy. Still trying to decide on what to replace it with though.  

I should manage to finish the cross stitch this week and get started on the backstitch.
