Don't you just hate it when.....

...progress comes to a screeching halt? I'm soooo close to finishing Simple Treasures but I have run out of yet another thread colour....and of course, none of the threads I have in my stash match.  I guess Dimensions must use their own threads. Sigh. Let's hope their customer service is as quick at sending out threads this week as it was last week!

Not too much to do....

The back stitching is worth the hassle. Doesn't the seahorse look amazing!

Love it, love it, love it and can't wait to complete it.

Here's something that I did manage to complete this week...

 ...a cute little scissor holder...

A big thank you to Bronwyn from Red Brolly for sharing her pattern You can find the pattern and instruction here.   I used French knots instead of beads as I couldn't be bothered faffing around finding beads and having them scatter everywhere, which always happens when I work with beads. The result is pretty much the same, but I'm not vacuuming up beads for the next three weeks! :)

And now on to some more cuties (well I think they're cute anyway!)....

...mug rugs! These designs are in this months World of Cross Stitching magazine (issue 213) and are perfect for stitching for a Mother's day gift....just don't let her get tea stains on them! ;)

Until next time...happy stitching!
