Orts and olds

Well, I am still stitching , but no new finishes to show as yet. There will be a couple soon , from the Stitch it and Pass it on , as the package has now been received , but I'll wait until they have been shown on that blog first.

See , lots of orts.

I had intended to go into town today , but my car is sulking over the frost , so it's a no go. Hopefully the sun will make it feel a bit better. It really feels as if the next season is on the way , I'm not going to tempt fate by naming names , but you know what I mean. LOL . The last few days have been quite bright and sunny . Though it has still been cold , with good frosts every morning. That I can cope with , it's the wet and white stuff I'm not too keen on.

I have got some new stash to show. More e-bay bargains. I've always admired the Lavender and Lace charts , but never enough to try stitching them if you know what I mean. Now, I do feel more experienced and hopefully patient enough to give them a go. I spotted Enchanted Alphabet a while ago , and put it on my wish list , probably to be my next purchase , and then I saw it on e-bay at a fantastic price. The same person was also selling a couple of others, so I bid ,and won them all

Enchanted Alphabet , Santa of the Forest and Oh Christmas Tree . I've seen Santa of the Forest done , whilst blog hopping (sorry , can't remember where as I hop a lot) and it's lovely. I may or may not stitch Oh Christmas Tree , but it was a bargain anyway , I paid less than £10 for the three inc postage , so I'm happy.

So , I thought I'd show you some of last years finishes that haven't yet made an appearance on here.

This is Bubble , who was started about 5-6 years ago and finished last year , one of my long term UFOs that I rooted out to get done . He only needed his loo roll and b/s doing ,so I was glad to finish.

Miss Pocahontas , started and finished last year , though not continual stitching .

Witzy from Little Suzy's Zoo , these are for my kids. My intention (eventually) is to make them each a patchwork quilt using stitched squares as well ,so these should end up on those.

These are from the RSPCA Perfect Pets series. We did a RR on the charity forum , and the rules are that at least one of your squares has to go for the blankets. I usually send all of mine.

The top one was the first one I stitched , but I loved it so much , I couldn't bear to post it off , so I had to quickly stitch another one lol. then my Son decided he wanted it , so had to stitch another similar one for my Daughter , she likes this one , as the animals are huggling.

Well , that's about all for now.

Just want to say , welcome to my new followers ,and thank you everyone for the comments , I love to get them.

Thanks for dropping by ,
