Green, Green, Everything's very Green

Funny how sometimes you just seem to use the same fabric over and over without intending to!

This is some 28 count Jobelan that I seem to be using alot.  I'm stitching the 12 Dragonlets on it and also March's JBW Alphabet Cat.  Then I picked up a freebie Easter design and thought "that'll look good on green".

Here's the Alphabet Cat:

I would show you the backing fabric I'm going to use but I can't find it!  I acquired three scraps of fabric when I sorted out the Preschool bag of offcuts, two of which would be perfect.  If only I could remember the safe place I put them in!

Here's the progress on the freebie so far:

I can't really show you this one much more because it's a present for someone.  Don't think they'll guess it from this picture though!

Not much other stitching going on at the moment.  Small Boy has decided 6am is a good time to start the day so I'm going to bed earlier to make up for the early start.  Large Boy is a 7.30 riser which is much better for me!  I have finished the Birth Sampler and the buttons arrived this afternoon so I'll be attaching them tonight. My friend should bring the frame to Preschool tomorrow then I can frame it and give it back to her for Friday to present to the baby's parents at the weekend.  Hope they like it!

Finally, I have decided that the Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop will take place on Good Friday rather than Easter Sunday.  Sunday is the 31st and I'll have a big Theme-a-licious post to make, I'd like the blog hop to have it's own post.

There is still time to join in, just leave a comment or email me if you're a "no reply" person.  I will allocate you a letter of the alphabet which will help spell out the mystery phrase.  On Good Friday you post a stitched picture on a Spring or Easter theme along with your letter.  I list all the blogs involved and everyone hops round like an Easter Bunny to find the mystery phrase.

There will be prizes, including some of these cute buttons I bought from a patchwork shop, for only 15p each!

The Bunny ones will be for the blog hop and the flowers for a certain event happening on the 8th April.  They had some heart ones and some bigger round ones too.  They also had squares of fabric for patchwork/ornie backing for £10 for about 40 or 50 5inch squares.  Is that a good price or too much?  They were lovely themed fabrics but I'm not sure I'd make that many ornies in a similar colour scheme!
