Peacock Garden - Part 4 progress

Well its half way through the month and I've only got a quarter of this months part done!I don't think I can ever remember such a big chunk in one month, so if your wondering why I've been so quite you can see why now.

I'm going to try and get another quarter stitched this weekend as I've only got a show on on Sunday morning this week, whereas I've been away the last two weekends at Champ Shows. Unfortuantely Orchid has now lost her coat so wont be doing very well in the next shows unless the judges take it into consideration.

SEBA SAL - Finished Piece

Here we are, the finished piece. Its been quite enjoyable stitching this as a change from all cross stitch. I managed to complete the piece with just 2 skiens of Dragon Floss used and fabric out of my stash, so no expense on this piece bar the framing...at some time this year...
Now I must get onto this months part of the peacock Chatelaine.....

Scottish Breed Championship Show - 27.03.10

Today was Orchids first time in Golden Retriever Junior Bitch's at Championship level. She will be in this class now until she is 18 months old, she is actually only just 12 months this week. To my surprise she managed to get 5th place which is very respectable for what she is up against in respect of age and maturity of the older girlies.
We have another Championship show next weekend in Yorkshire and one the following weekend in Scotland, in which Orchid and her mother-Willow will be competing. Willow hasn't been shown at Champ level since 2004, so it will be interesting to see how she does. Brook is now out of coat (growing a nice new one in) so hopefully will be ready to show again mid summer.

SEBA Designs-SAL

Part 10 came out on Monday, and for some reason I didn't like it, I just felt that it didn't fit with the rest of the design, so pencil in hand, I charted something that I thought would fit better - you may not agree, but I'm happy with it now. There's just the border to stitch in next week and I'll have a finish this month :)

TUSAL update

My TUSAL update for this month - made up from Chatelaine Peaccock Garden & Mary Wigham orts this month.

Seba Designs SAL - part 9

Just a quick update of the Seba designs SAL part 9 completed. 1 more part and the border still to do. Watch this space.......

Crufts update

I'm pleased to say that Orchid was shortlisted in her class, but wasn't placed. Even to get this far is a great achievement especially when she will only be 1 year old tomorrow.

Unfotunately Brook didn't get anything but he still looked good and enjoyed himself.

Our next challenge is to get qualified for Crufts 2011..........
