Hannah and I spent last weekend in Palmerston North, staying with my cousin Donna for a few days. We did a bit of shopping and went visiting, a change of scenery was just what I needed after being sick.
I haven't stitched much lately as I've been knitting for Hannah - since this photo I've almost reached the end, just need to measure the length on Hannah and cast off. A pretty quick project as the wool I used is very chunky. I'd bought two balls but will only need the one to complete it.
But when my stitching has come out, Betsy by Sheepish Designs is my current focus project. I really love the colours used in this. I chose to stitch it on 32ct Lambswool jobelan fabric, such a soft fabric.
I've actually stitched a bit more than in the pics, probably over 3/4's done now? I'll have to put this aside for a few days as Nicki's Ackworth Friendship RR is waiting for me to get started on it.
Looking forward to a few quiet days at home this coming weekend, we've got no plans except for my niece Zoe coming to stay with us Saturday night, which will be fun, and catching up on some bookwork for Glenn.
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of the week!

Those colors in Betsy are to die for. Did you use the called for threads. I have this one in my stash and now that I've seen yours, I think that I need to do it. It looks wonderful!
