One Finish, Four Starts and Two Lbs Lighter!!!

I've had a rather successful sewing week this week, in part due to the fact that my partner has been working nights and I could sit, guilt-free with my stitchery projects in the evenings. Today, Tony decided to come home for his sleep rather than camp on an army surplus excuse for a bed, at a rather noisy hospital. This meant that I had to be fairly quiet and what a better excuse than to sit on the sofa, my Henri dog beside me, while I sat and hand-sewed the bias binding on my farm quilt - bliss! Awful that I've only spent a couple of hours a day with wonderful (but extremely tired) partner but next week will be back to normal!!


Needless to say that after an evening of stippling and a day of sewing, On the Farm is finally completed!

I'm very happy with the finished article.

As for the stitchery's I joined a couple of BOM's and can't wait to complete each block as we progress through the year.

The snowmen can be found here while the 'Love' stitchery is here. The little mouse in a rather wonky log-cabin is part of my own design for the Black and White Quilt Challenge Project which can be found here. The design is aptly called 'Wonky Cat and Friends. It is a bit of an improvised project as I haven't exactly designed it yet! The idea is to have a few cats, maybe a dog, a couple of mice and one or two birds thrown in for good measure. I'm hoping to work on a few more blocks tomorrow so I'll keep you posted.

I'm also on weight loss target for this month - 2lbs already lost from eater slower, slightly less portion size and not snacking - crisps are a huge vice for me!!!
