Travelling Stitcher update
I have been working sporadically on my Travelling Stitcher - my SAL with Valerie (Fog City Dweller). After an exhausting day in the sunshine, I don't always feel like stitching but I am plodding away slowly but surely.
My friend Diana (no blog as yet but she's working on it) and I recently went to FOB of Sarasota - a most wonderful bead shop where we took a beading class and both made peyote bracelets. Diana chose purple and gold hex beads and I, of course, went 'miniature' and chose tiny black and silver Delica beads! It was a most enjoyable class and we both left the classroom wearing our bracelets. A big thank you to Karen for her patience.
Sew Joyful will be released very shortly so there will be plenty of time to stitch this in time for the Christmas Holiday. I am sorry for the delay but I'm sure that you all have plenty of projects on the go.
'Normal service' on my blog will be resumed on my return to the UK but I will continue to post a 'picture' a day to keep you amused so please come back whenever you can!
Thank you for visiting
Take care

Lili's Sew French Blue
Lili of Stitching Basket emailed me her recent finish of Sew French Blue. I am not sure what fabric she used but her threads are DMC 580, 839 and 3809 and, as you can see, she finished her work as a pinkeep. There are more pictures on Lili's blog - I am unable to post more than one picture per post - I have no idea what Blogger is up to! This is such a pretty stitch and finish Lili - thank you for allowing me to post this picture.
Sew French Blue is available *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar.

Travelling Stitcher SAL
A picture to show that I have not just been lazying around in the Florida sunshine, I have been stitching too! I made a start on my SAL with Valerie the Fog City Dweller and since taking this picture I have put in the roof and windows.
I have also purchased some sock yarn and although I made a start on a rather fetching sock, I had to unravel it as the join was not very good. I will try again later.
To make our vacation a little more exciting today a rather large shark was spotted in the water about 5 feet from where my friend Diana and I were stood and needless to say we got out of the water as fast as we could!
Thanks for visiting and please call in again tomorrow for another holiday picture!
Take care
