Theme-a-licous February Update

I hope you all enjoyed the Valentine's Day Blog Hop yesterday.  All the links now go direct to the relevant post on each blog so it's easy to find them in the future.

Theme-a-licious is hosted by Heather of It's Geek to Me

Each month Heather thinks up a theme for us to stitch to, or in my case, a theme to somehow shoe-horn my existing stitching into, no matter how tenuous the link!

This month it is:

Figural February

Who are the people in your neighbourhood...your WIP neighbourhood, that is? Give your people-populated projects some face time this month.

I haven't yet started on my Mirabilia Round Robin figure, thanks to my cold but there's still 2 weeks to go.

I have been stitching on my Joan Elliot February Diary piece.  There will be a chubby cherub soon.  So far it's just a heart and some ribbons:

I'm not so keen on the lighter red in the heart.  It's too pink.  So that might be coming out and restitched.  The fabric is a piece of 28 count I dyed with fruit tea.  You can still smell it a little bit but it's starting to fade.

Here's Joan's January piece all mounted for my scrapbook:

And here's the Hallowe'en Kitty stitched for January's SAL piece, also mounted for my scrapbook:

It's quite hard to get Hallowe'en themed papers and embellishments in our craft shop, there was a choice of 2 basically!

I'm sure there's something else I wanted to blog about but I can't remember it!  Stitchitandie has finished her block on my Round Robin already so you can hop over to the Yuku Board to see it there.  She's stitched the August Peridot Fairy who looks amazing.

Finally, there's only 6 weeks to Easter and the Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop.  I'll get some details and a sign up pic up soon but in the mean time be thinking of all the Spring/Easter/Happy things you have stitched or you could stitch to take part.  Twist the meaning as far as you can go!
