Finishes you have already saw:

Biscornu #229

And another finish ... aren't I'm good?

done!!!

This is 'Haunted House' by the Snowflower Diaries. It was completed on Zweigart 28 count Pastel Linen Amsterdam Blue. In the following colours: DMC: 310 and blanc, and Anchor: 13 and 302

Furthermore 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' is now a finish thanks to my lovely mum. Check out the earlier post HERE. By the same designer. Both were done for the 2013 SAL. Check out the giveaway Maja (of the Snowflower Diaries) is having below.  

she made it into a heart with herbs

isn't it lovely?

attempting to hang on the frame

I might add on some more embroidery onto it ... but I might just leave it like that.

Talking of my mums hearts ... they are available on the craft fairs that we do ... plus coming soon to etsy.

Well that is it for the month's update.

Puppy Love by Margaret Sherry

Dear all,

Days seem to fly by, 'to do list' seems to grow, and I fall behind with it. There was a Wipocalypse check in recently ... hmm 3 whole days ago. But as I only have little time before I depart for work I decided I can't face such a big task. So I will skip (or rather fall behind) the Wipocalypse, graduation, and the Edinburgh trip updates (I do have some pictures to share).

Instead you can see my Puppy Love final post ... since I was going only to do 4 of them ... they are all done now ...

Puppy #1

Puppy #2

Puppy #3

and the last one ...

Puppy #4

I got the chart from bookazine "The Best of Margaret Sherry". And the 4 chosen puppies were stitched on fennel dyed evenweave. 

A few giveaways:

#1 - 'Cherries per te' blog birth giveaway @ In the World of Cooking

One of the ladies whom I follow posted about this small giveaway ... apologies for a late notice. Franca is only starting out in the world of blogging ... and I do hope she will stay for a long journey ... she has already posted 2 exciting recipes that I would like to try (she has a google translate on her blog - excellent for me), very exciting.

Deadline: Tonight midnight (not sure what time zone)!

The next two giveaways belong to a very friendly lady, Bernadett, whom I follow. Thanks to her I have potentially found a new place for bargain shopping online
