The Other Page

Fortunately summer and its second cousin heat haven’t quite put a stop to my other favorite activity, reading.

At long last I’ve updated my Tiki Reads page.  In case anyone but me cares.  Lo and behold I have only 8 more books to make it all the way through the alphabet.  And I think I’ve found a way to put a dent in that number, as well as my TBR hallway, courtesy of Dr. Who.  Because, in my ceaseless attempts to collect everything, I have enough of the BBC Dr. Who books to fill in at least 5 more letters of the alphabet.  I could use some suggestions for A, X and Z.  Reading the classics would be more enriching I guess, but I’m in this for the fun.

Happy reading World.

Happy Friday

It’s the last Friday in July and I don’t have too much stitching to show for it.  But I do have this.

 

The design is by Lucie Heaton from the June issue of Cross Stitch Crazy.  It just seemed to say “Wouldn’t I make a nice bookmark?”

Now that I feel somewhat re-inspired, I’m going to try to make some progress on other things.  Do Not Disturb comes to mind.  That’s to (hopefully) keep me from starting a completely new project.  After all, the heat may slow down stitching but nothing stops stash building!

Happy stitching World.

YOTA - July 2013

It’s YOTA time!!

 

 I started to fill in more purple.  Until I decided I had to fill in the blue.  You can see how well that went. J  Lots of choices for the month.  Will it be blue, purple, orange or something completely different?  Tune in next month to find out.  Same stitch time, same stitch channel.

Ornament SAL June

This month’s finish is last month’s Theme-A-Licious ornament piece, designed by Lesley Teare.

 

There seems to be nothing much more to say right now.  Guess that means it’s time to stitch. J

WIPocalypse June - Cats and Doctors

Here’s my progress on Do Not Disturb.

 

More on the sunglasses and book.  It’s tempting to start on the actual cat, but I need to finish this bottom section first.

As Dork Stitch mentioned, she was kind enough to give me early access to her 6^th Doctor pattern.  Colin Baker was a guest at Denver Comic Con this year and I thought it would be a nice way to celebrate. Here’s how he turned out.

 

How cool, right?  I picked up the tag at the con, I thought they went well together.  Thanks for another great pattern, Dork Stitch!!

Happy stitching World.

A Weekend Finish!!

Looks like Mal won’t be around for IHSW anymore.  I managed to finish him this past weekend.

 

 

He still needs a wash, but I like the way he turned out.

Fortunately there’s no shortage of projects waiting to take his place. J

Happy stitching World.

YOTA June update

You should think of this not in terms of what did (or didn’t) happen to it in May.  You should think of all the potential it shows so far in June.  Just look at those cute purple circles. J

Happy stitching World!
