How is everyone going?

Posted by ladyfrou on August 12, 2009

Hi all,

How are we all going with our Mary’s?

Will admit I’ve neglected Mary shamefully the last few weeks.   Am busy at work and tired by the end of the day, so find counting cross stitch to exhausting.   What little cross stitch I am doing is a simple one colour design from The Gift of Stitching – South Seas Lace.

But mostly I am doing a lot of stitchery – good old back stitch and just following the lines.

What about everyone else?

Hi from South Australia…

Mary Wigham - JoolzJust had a go at inserting a picture – think it may be a bit big.  This is my MW todate – I hope to have a stitching day tomorrow – daughter out of the house, husband out of the house, me home alone!  Lets see how I go.

I am in awe of some of the finished Mary’s – I love the Japanese one and I also love the one that is in reds and browns.  Very effective.

Cheers – Joolz
