My First Blogged Finish

Medieval Queen

My first finish for this blog (most excited). I finished off Medieval Queen a Textile Heritage Bookmark Kit. A counted Cross Stitch Design made in Scotland.  I enjoy these kits but one of the most pleasurable features of them is that this design comes with a design story which brings the kit to life.

Well without further ado here she is:-

My Queen will be on her way to My Mother tomorrow.  Poor Mum has been under the weather so hoping this will cheer her up.

Now a start I have decided to start my Bucilla 30 Christmas stocking ornaments and these are the ones I like the best and am starting first

I am very partial to the birds but love the colours of the Pointsetia.  I think these miniature stockings will look lovely on a small Christmas Tree as a centre piece this coming Christmas.

Be kind to yourself and those you love

So close to finished

We had a beautiful weekend.  Sunday was the day we had long awaited and our beautiful daughter was baptised.  Our Parish Priest did a touching and meaningful ceremony and we all joined together to celebrate with a family Lunch.  It is not often with the commitments we all have to get together often and this day meant a great deal to us all.  Though not all good this morning on my way to work I was rear ended by another car, only a scratch to my car and a small knock on the head for me, really shook me up though but very grateful no one was hurt.  Now for my stitching updates (excuse the photo quality please my camera is playing up and I had to borrow my daughter's phone)

Medieval Queen

I love this kit it is a Textile Heritage Bookmark Kit, I finished the King for my Father last year and have nearly finished the Queen for Mum.  The Textile Heritage Bookmark kits have a good amount of detail in them and make gorgeous gifts.  The instructions are easy to understand and the threads are of a good quality thus reducing the number of snags.  So here she is nearly finished just a little more back stitching needed. The felt that is rovided for the backing is a green that suits the piece very well the tassle and cord is also included. Sadly this picture does not do justice to the piece I will hunt out my other camera for the finished piece.
