July IHSW update

Hi stitchers!

I spend my IHSW on Envy (of course). In fact, I pretty much only stitched during Saturday. Friday was spent celebrating my four-year wedding anniversary with the hubby. Sunday I spent doing absolutely nothing! I could not pull myself together and pick up the needle. Truth be told, I am growing tired of all the green in Envy, and I am looking forward to work on my other projects as well, but I am determined to finish this page on Envy before returning to my rotation again.

And since I love before-and-after shots myself, I made these for you guys :-)

Before July IHSW

After July IHSW

I could have done more, since I'm still on holiday. But as I wrote; I could not pull myself together. I do like, however, that I have started stitching her dress, so that was a bit of a kick for me.

While playing around with my camera, my dog, Ronja, became very curious:

I think I might take a small break from stitching during this week. Hopefully my stitchy bug for Envy will return very soon!
I am looking forward to see everyone's updates on this weekend's progress!

Happy stitching!

So, even though I had sooo many things to do  this weekend, I actually think I did pretty good :) I worked on the Mini Citrine I got from my husband for my birthday last year:

There were many confetti stitches at the bottom of the dress, so that took me most of the Sunday, but I did get a nice headstart to the dress itself :)

Looking forward to see everyone's progress over the next days!

Sorry for not posting yesterday, my internet was acting up.

I didn't get to do much stitching this weekend unfortunately. Friday evening we went to my mother's and slept over. Saturday morning we went to see a house, that we've been looking at for some time. Turned out it wasn't for us anyway. Saturday evening we had guests over for dinner, and Sunday we cleaned our appartment, and a couple came to take a look at it. You've probably guessed already, that we're trying to sell our appartment, all though it's not going too well at the moment.

But no more excuses; here is what I had time to do:

I know it isn't much. But then again, my weekend turned out to be dead busy :-(
