I got Featured on Shop Delighted!

I have an excite - I was just clicking my way across the net (as you do) and thought i'd check up on my Delighted store.
I found something rather familiar on the front page...



:D

Busy Busy FJL!

I've been wallowing in the motherlode of longstitch and tapestry goodness. I found a heap of unstarted canvases at my local op shop.. and bought most of them. Some had kits, some didn't. I've learned things - I can do french knots! ..in wool, and wool alone. >.<

I'm not sure *what* to do with th ones i've finished though - I think the tiger and the lady will be gifts, though - they were the two kit ones, and turned out the best, imo.

The other ones, I don't know. I might list them, I might gift them.. I might just frame them and spruce up the house a bit. Hmm.

There's one (the tapestry flowers) that i'verun out of BLANC on, but that's easily solved next time I go down to spotlight.

PICTURRRES!










(this one's still in need of a proper stretching)



I hope you liked these! And my washing machine! ;)


I've been working on these more than the Zep. cross stitch - I find Longstitch to be more enjoyable, because it provides more instant gratification. I like gratification. ;) It was a really nice change of pace, too.

I haven't found anything more down there, yet, that aren't literally cut in half or something irreparable, but I'm keeping my hopes high!

OK... I suck at the last days of dieting. Plus, Free Pattern!

Yeah, I caved and broke last night.

I blame the Fiancee - he's having Pizza from our favorite place for birthday dinner... who could resist!
Oh yeah - someone with that thing called 'willpower'.

I did have two bowls of soup today though, and was really getting sick and tired of it. I think if I do it again, I'll only make it a 5 day thing - Fruit, Fruit and Veg, Banana, Meat, Rice. That way I won't get as bored with it... I hope. Plus I'd probably make a nice big roast lamb or something before I do it, and freezer away some of that meat, to have in the soup. It really gives it a lovely sweetness!

I have also finished a pattern from a tattoo pattern I found on my hard drive earlier, made with KG chart. I can't give credit, as I'm not sure who *did* the original picture. It wasn't me, that's for sure! It's pretty huge, as a word of warning. I'll likely make a smaller version, but for now, here's the big one. Enjoy!

*this will be listed in my etsy and Shop Delighted stores soon. Possibly.*
