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.
Unfortunately I did not stitch alot of figures this February. I intended to stitch an angel for Julie's Mira RR but first I fell ill then I had a more urgent RR to stitch.
Just about the only thing that qualifies is the Joan Elliott 2013 Diary February design:
You can just see the little cherub starting to emerge.
This is the Birth Sampler I'm stitching for my friend's Grand-daughter:
I finished the bear yesterday and stitched the little creature at Preschool this morning. There is going to be a tall thin rabbit holding the little bear soon. Then some hearts and stars, maybe stitched, maybe buttons.
I settled down to stitch this morning and my friend admired my stitching. Then she said "I'm now wondering if they're spelling it with two n's". So I told her it was too late. I asked if they'd registered the baby yet and she said they are doing it today. So I suggested she ring them and say "You can only have one n because Jo's not frogging that backstitch for anyone"! Anyway she checked on her phone and all the messages say one n so it's staying.
Here are the pictures from the Mamas and Papas website I'm using to chart the little characters:
Next month is -
March Madness
Work on something different every day...it's madness...of the funnest possible kind.
This really isn't me at all but I'll do my best! This is how I did last year - March Madness 2012. I managed to stitch on 12 different projects in March 2012. Maybe I should aim for 13 this year? Three ornies, one Needlecraft Haven, one Joan Elliott, two RRs, one Birth Sampler, one Easter thing - that's 9 already.
Right, that's the plan! Thinking on my fingers here, I came up with that as I typed!
Finally the National Letter Writing Month went brilliantly! I wrote a letter or postcard every posting date in February, 24 in total. Once all the recipients have got their mail I'll do a little round-up. It was great fun and not at all difficult. I'm thinking of doing a weekly postcard from now on. I have lots of stitchers' addresses in my little book I could start surprising people straight away! Details to follow in the NLWM post!
