When I signed up for Friday Night With Friends last week, I'd forgotten that I'd arranged a Saturday family working bee at our place...aka demo day for my kitchen. Friday night was supposed to be spent emptying the kitchen so that demolition could take place.
Since we've been living here (14 years) I've had broken cupboards, drawers and doors so a do-up has always been on the cards...yaay, the day is nearly here!
However before spending well into the night redistributing my kitchen bits throughout the house, I had a little relaxed time with some stitching. After some more stitching time on Saturday evening, I finished another block for the Leanne Beasley no fuss SAL I am doing over at nofussswappers. We're aiming for 3 a month...here are my three May stitcheries —
and two of the June ones —
I think I'm up to about 20 or 21 now.
Thank you to Cheryll for hosting FNWF...it did actually encourage me to sit down and do some stitching before I got busy. You can visit the link-up *here* if you want to have a bit of a browse around blogland :-)
In other news, ED has completed a few more of her Zookeeper blocks —
And I've done 3 more recently. Not too fussed on my snail but it'll do.
Many of you were delighted with the Emu block I made when I was pattern testing for Juliet of Tartankiwi... I thought you may like to know that she has now released the pattern...so for those of you who were interested in making their own cheeky fellow, head over *here*.
I hope your weekend's going well and you're finding a little creative time,

ReplyDeleteGoodluck with the new kitchen ..........i know how low down the priority line that is on a farm.....cant ever imagine getting a new one.... But mine is a solid 1950s version......even if it is out dated .......
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, a brand new kitchen! I think your snail is adorable. I am loving all these sweet creatures on granny squares and your stitcheries are pretty.
ReplyDeleteI do not envy you the mess of construction, but you will love the finish. Those zoo blocks are so cute. Your stitching is sweet too.
ReplyDeleteNice to have found time to relax and do some stitching between emptying out your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteOh I like your snail block.
You will be sew happy when your kitchen is finished...
Your stitchery is really pretty and I'm glad you were able to fit it in before emptying cupboards. A new kitchen is very exciting! Good luck with the project.
ReplyDeletevery exciting to get a 'new' kitchen, though putting up with the mess is not so fun .... can you go and hide with your stitching??? haha... love the crochet blocks - they are so much fun. Not too many of those stitcheries to do....

ReplyDeleteYour projects are gorgeous as always Raewyn. But how very exciting ... a shiny new kitchen for you to cook in! I loved having a new kitchen installed & look forward to seeing your photos when it is all up & running.
ReplyDeleteLovely work with all your stitching.

ReplyDeleteI hope the project goes well.
How exciting a new kitchen love to see the finished project... love your crochet squares... gorgeous work...
ReplyDeleteSeeing your kitchen makes me think I need to write the post on mine! It still needs one wee light box cover and eventually will get a new floor but I should do the post. Exciting to see your possibilities! We did an IKEA kitchen, love it. The crocheted beasties are too cute, and your embroideries, so satisfying.
ReplyDeleteLove all the crochet faces...so cute.
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready to do my kitchen too... hope all goes well for you...xox

Nice to have family to come help with that. I know it's a lot of work, and so mine isn't going to be done! =) I like your snail best of the animals. =) Your embroideries are wonderful. I'm glad you got to stitch on Friday night!
