More on CQJP Yellow February

 CQJP 2015 - Yellow February 

Lots of random 'BITS' have been added to the yellow block this week.

Stitching is dominant in this project, and (as I am a crochet-aholic) I am making an occasional piece of crochet to fit where ever I think I can 'get-away' with it, lol.

So here is the centre of my block.

A slice of lemon for my G & T.

 

A 'sort of' elongated Yin & Yang' design.

A Mandala that needs finishing in the middle, probably with French Knots.

And, last but not least, a Paisley.

I'm still enjoying using yellow threads and creating designs for this block.

Almost finished with the February CQJP now, just a little more stitching to get it to my happy place.

I've been doing a bit of cross-stitching on Stitchmap lately too.

Here are a couple of my designs.

And 'just-for-fun' - here is Fred and Mojo catching the sun by our front door.

And Juliette is looking for her Romeo by the lounge door. Luckily she didn't hop over the sill and poop on my carpet. I kept a close eye on her.

I hope you have had a great week.

Happy Stitching.

Needle Tatting Beginnings

Humble beginnings. 

My first attempts at Needle Tatting were a failure. I don't know what I did wrong, but the 'thing' just fell apart and I ended up with a piece of thread with knots in it.

In the ORT's bin it went. 

Haha!

But, I'm not one to give up. I persisted, and eventually I got it.

My very first tatted ring. 

A bit uneven, but at least it's a start.

And, for an encore, I made another ring with 3 picots this time, but the photo I took of that one is too blurred to post, sorry.

 CQ Straight From The Heart 

update - week 3

The Monogram letter "L" is for Love (of course)

And for embellishment I added the two tatted rings, filled with red French Knots, and stitched meandering tendrils.

Just For Fun

Just thought I'd share this typical photo shot of Mojo.

He's always half-way down a hole.

Incidentally, did you notice his little white heart on the tip of his tail.
