As you may have guessed the weather here for the middle of summer hasn't exactly been very tropical as of late. We could have the fire going but since its been covered in Christmas decorations, probably not such a good idea :)
My cousin Donna went home late yesterday afternoon and we've had a good few chill out days. She enjoyed her break as she'd worked very long hours in the weeks leading up to Chistmas. I'll be seeing her again in a few days time when I go and visit for a few days, yup, leaving Glenn to fend for himself, lol, while I take my cousin Kimberley to Palmerston North to do lots of girlie things -movies, eating out and of course, shopping :)
I finished my first project of the year on new year's day. Here is Mermaid's Heart, so pretty and sparkly.
Mermaid's Heart - Just Nan, stitched on 32ct Rue Green Belfast using DMCs.
I'm not sure how I will finish this one but I can see it making a lovely box top.
Kath and I have several stitchalongs planned this year and yesterday we started our first one, Little House Needlework's City Stitcher Country Stitcher. I'm stitching mine on Silkweaver's Purey Primitive linen.
Happy stitching :)

What a great start to the New Year. Mermaid's Heart is so pretty and would make a lovely box top.
Sounds like you had a great (if chilly) New Year and have more fun planned soon. Enjoy!!!

Happy New Year! I love your mermaid heart. It would make a great box top.
Happy New Year Katrina - thanks for the email :-) Your Mermaid Heart is gorgeous, and love the start to the new LHN! I think we have your warm weather, in a manner of speaking. We are having record warmth, and save for about an inch of slippery snow last Saturday, it has been beautiful here. I just had cold summers, and I hope yours warms up soon.
Ooops - I meant I hate cold summers, not I had cold summers - LOL!
Happy New Year to you, Katrina
Wow Mermaids Hear is simple gorgeous, love it. THe start to LHN is lovely looking forward to seeing more.
Hugs & Stitches xxxx
Katrina, your Mermaid Heart finish is just gorgeous! I think it would make a lovely box top too.
Can't wait to see your progress on City Stitcher Country Stitcher as well.
Happy New Year to you and Glenn!
That mermaid Heart is gorgeous! I can remember the colours in real life and it is the prettyest thing :)
Hasn't the weather been awful? It looks good today though - might even finally get the kids out on their bikes or something.
Love your new start - guess what? No, I didn't start that one ... but I did indeed start a new LHN night before last as well LOL
Mermaid Heart turned out fantastic, the colors are so pretty. Congrats on your first finish of 2007. The LNH one looks like it will be cute.

Yes, Mermaid's Heart would make a terrific box cover!
Can't wait to see more of City Stitcher/Country Stitcher. One time I saw a picture of this mounted on top of a sewing basket - it was beautiful!
