Had such a lovely weekend in London with my friends. I dressed up as a "cat" (because my name is Kat, and also because I have no imagination) and went out with my friends to a nightclub in Camden (no, that isn't my normal scene). It was actually really good fun to dance, and there was even a stripper/fire dancer/fire-eater performing inside the club!
I have worked on two pieces, the Christmas card and the Hearthstone Home gift.

I find these very rewarding to work on, although it's easier to work on the Santa because I see the finished product so much faster. With the hearthstone it feels as though I am forcing myself to focus more. I changed a few of the colours from the recommended, once because the local craft store didn't have the colour and the other time because I wanted to add some sparkles (as a Hearthstone is a magical key which takes you home).
All in all it's been a very productive week. Happy Halloween everybody!
Hi, returning the following here. Welcome to the world of blogging!
ReplyDeleteI can see you enjoy stitching from the magazines, I've kind of given up on the UK magazines and most of my stitching comes via various blogs or the US mag Just Cross Stitch.
