Mid-month Milestone and some Memorabilia!

March has been a drowsy month for me. I have this great urge to just sleep, sleep and sleep. Something inside me nudges me to let go stitching for the night, and there are nights i have listened to that voice. So there has been relatively less progress on Page 13. As you will see, i have not been able to discipline myself with the 10 by 10 area stitching. Stifling innumerable yawns, i have stitched the same color thread ever so often, so as to hit my '100' sooner and then go to sleep land. Oops.


Here is my next SAL with Sticklounge. The name is actually Purple Garden, but i am using Red. Also i am doing just the center part of the actual huge design. When it gets near completion, i will tell you why;-)

And here is the needle-roll completed. All you experts pls tell me what do you fill in your needle roll, and how do you make the roll look taut? Mine looks limp, eh?? Any suggestions are welcome! Thank you.

I have also won two giveaways in the past week. I will post their pics as soon as i receive them. Both are to come from the US, so i guess it will take some time to reach me. With 14th March being my birthday, i am looking at these as wonderful gifts meant specially for me:)

Not sure if you knew, my son and I share the same birthday:) He completed 3 years on 14th March!! Here are the pics taken some in his school and some at home! I had taken the day off, and the two of us had a great time together. Husband was missing in action, as he is gone to drop my in-laws to their place. Now it is my parents' turn at home:)
I will end this post with some Tanishk memorabilia:)

    Beautiful progress in your WIPs.

    I stuff my needlerolls very tightly with toy stuffing.

  3. Happy birthday to you and your son! My best friend shares her birthday with her son as well.

    Great progress on your wips! I've never made a needleroll before so I'm no help but Sally has made tons of them.

  5. Happy birthday to you and your son, sorry it's late. Your needle keep is very pretty. I've never made one so will be interested to see replies you get.

    Your WIPs look to be doing just fine even if you are having an evening rest.

    Your son's photos are lovely.
