Progress Pics

This weekend went good for stitching after a long time!! And that felt good:)

It was Alla Turca time, and the outcome on the previous sitting had been poor. I love the richness of the color as it takes shape on the white Aida. I got considerably more time this weekend than i thought, and at least have finished close to half of the Page 1. I keep helping myself by the fact that the centre page is by far the most 'filled' page, LOL. I am loving the MSAL, and am happy to have taken this up!!

Here is the BOINK from last weekend. I have decided i will stitch the orange color instead of the yellow for this block. The yellow i am thinking, i will only use for the borders and not inside any block. As i said in my previous post, i would have completed this block but for the frogs visiting me.

And then some special things for my stash!! Here are pics of what i received, one from Cheryl in SMO - tapestry needles *and* needles for beads, floss and a cute card. Thanks Cheryl for all these! Extremely sweet of you. Stash i received from Shellie - Beatrix Potter sampler, i am loving this and is a perfect addition for my 'stitch' theme. Isnt that nice?!!!

After the dismal photo i clicked, i gave this another shot in bright daylight. Here is what i received from Janet in a contest in SMO. You have given me a great beauty Janet. Thank you so much:) Yet another one for my 'stitch' theme, and i am sure will be the first i will stitch for that theme.

That's it for now ladies! Thanks for taking a look
