Some stitching on The Yule Sampler by The Primitive Needle on 40ct linen.
One vintage Dresden almost appliquéd in place...still auditioning centres. This project has been fun. It is odd finishing someone else's work...our techniques and styles differ somewhat, but I hope that she knows that her UFO is being finished with love.
And a start...just because! I have had this Adam & Eve cross stitch, "And all was for an appil" by the Scarlet Letter on 40ct Vintage Light Examplar. I think sometimes a start gets you motivated....what do you think?
The kitchen should be almost complete this week, bench tops should be installed tomorrow. Then I can wash up in a kitchen, rather than here.
I am hoping that it will soon be more settled, and there will be a break from work on the house. The past week has been hectic, mum needing an operation in the middle of it all. Another job interview has led to more work, so I will be working full time for a period...doesn't give me much time to stitch, but the work will be interesting and will help me to feel settled.
I hope all those affected by the flooding are safe and dry tonight.

I hope your Mum makes a swift recovery from her operation.
Stay safe from all the rain.
Great to see you finding some stitching time. :)
Yes washing up in the laundry (as new and lovely as yours is) is NOT fun! Hope your Mum is on the road to recovery and feeling better. We havent had any rain over here, but keeping an eye on the news, watching the devestation unfold - again for some many.

Never a dull moment for you, I'm glad you can fit in some stitching time. Hope your Mum is feeling better soon, and that you can make her a nice cup of tea in your new finished kitchen.
Hope your mum is ok.
Recovering from the rain and wind here, but at least it gave me some time to sew. Pleased to see you have been able to sew in amongst everything else happening in your life. Fingers crossed that your kitchen is finished ASAP.
What a lovely new embroidery. I hope you find some time to work on.
Wonderful progress on your projects! I love And All Was For An Appil. When I stitched it I followed my friend Carol's advice, which was to do the dark outline first and then go back and fill it in. I got about half way and then would keep up with stitching the outline when I wanted to look at the chart, but then went back and did fill in when I wanted mindless stitching, like when watching TV. Have fun!
rain has been a great excuse to stitch here too! Love the new start.
Hope Pauline is on the mend and getting spoilt!

Love all your little projects Alison. Hope life settles down soon :)
