Pinkeep Exchange

Pinkeep I stitched using a Brightneedle design.

I return. 

What happened to the time? The days just seem to pass by so quickly. I found that I was stitching less and less yet I longed to be stitching but I just couldn't manage it, does that make sense because it sounds like I am contradicting myself.  I would have days where I would feel guilty if I sat and stitched instead of doing housework or devoting every spare minute to my son, so in the end I would not stitch just not to have those feelings.

I hope I can get back to how it was before. There are so any wonderful projects that I would love to stitch, slowly, slowly, day by day.

An update will hopefully follow tomorrow. It has been quite a difficult time recently, especially the past week as my sweet little boy was in hospital. Thankfully he came home yesterday and he is making a good recovery so far. Anyway, I have a few little finishes to show and I actually completed my Brightneedle Dolls House.

Many, many thanks for all the lovely comments, they are very much appreciated.

This has been sitting in my finished pile for so long. At the weekend I found this frame in Athens and luckily it is a perfect fit.

I am starting this week off with another finish. The light isn't very good today so hopefully tomorrow I will be able to post photographs of the back and inside of this project. It would have been finished sooner but when I had sewn it together I noticed that I had forgotten to stitch the letter 'j'. Anyway, I managed, rather well, to stitch the missing letter without having to undo the case.
