FNSI....or in my case all day Friday

 Friday saw me cutting these out to make up into journals, I did go to spotlight today to get more lace and ribbons to finish them off but I got side tracked with the 40% off wool sale happening there and came home with a bag of wool which means another trip tomorrow for them.....and maybe another ball or two of wool???
 I also found myself working on a secret project so here's a sneaky peak, sorry that's all I can show you for now :)
 I also picked up this very neglected stitchery and worked a few more stitches onto it to keep me motivated, I'll be working on this one today I think so I can finish it before Christmas....no promises mind you!
I also discovered these in a forgotten project tin so finished them off as well, I have another seven traced stitcheries of the Christmas tree to finish so may work on them as well today and tomorrow my crochet has been taking up a lot of my time lately and I decided my hands needed a bit of a hooky break, don't know how long it will last as I can hear my hook calling me to come crochet LOL......
Well I'm off to visit a few more of my sewing buddies blogs and see what they've been up to, I hope you too got a chance to spend a little time doing something you love last night :)

Lovely stitching - isn't it annoying when you get home and realise you forgot what you went out for? but then you have another excuse to shop.

Lyn said...

A lovely variety of projects you are working on

Lovely projects Barb. I actually sent Glenn to Spotlight for me today. That way I know I would only get what I asked for where as if I went in, well we all know what could happen :) See you next weekend. hugs

I have caught your addiction to red and white for Christmas. LOve those stitcheries. I am about to start one of Gail Pan's in red and white. Interesting colourful stitchery sneak peek there! Hmmmmm.

lovely stitching, it is nice to have a change sometimes, and even nicer to really want to get back to what you were doing, lol. Glad to have a Christmassy friend :)

You inspire me to try some hand stitchery!
I just don't know where I will find the time though.
*sigh*

I love Spotlight!
