The long-awaited update

Well, folks... the camera is back and behaving properly!

I will be posting numerous starts and WIPs to show how out of control it's become... no tatting today, but I will at a later date. The Taiwanese earthquake that damaged undersea cabkes wreaked havoc on a lot of picture uploading times, so we will try to put piccies up one by one.

This is the beginning of Page 5 of Papillon Creations' Eightsome Reel, using my colours. Joyce has challenged me to finish it by latest January 1 or she's going to give me hell for every single new start I have. EEEK!!

Speaking of new starts... This purty red thing here (me practising my redneck accent) is.... Blue Ribbon Designs' REd Velvet Sampler. I love this one so much but it's going super slow.

Also, this is the first time I've stitched using Anchor threads. The actual shade is actually a deep eggplant/dark plum, but it looks sort of reddish here.

Stitched on white 35-ct Edinburgh linen

And here is why Red Velvet is soooo slow....

I've been a bad girl with stashing ... heheheheh

Ink Circles' Sea Stars, Pg 1 done, into Pg 2,

also stitched on 35ct Edinburgh linen

And here is one I've been madly working on in fits and spurts. Jan Houtman's Patchwork Sampler... a Dutch sampler I got from a Dutch LNS. 30% done.

This is about all I've got to upload in this post.... there are more pix but I'll save that for in a few days' time :) Plus Blogger is not uploading properly now... grrr!
