Mrs Milkybar Kid finally stitches!
Hi Everyone! It's been such a long time since I have posted here that I have almost forgotten how to do it! I didn't really stitch "properly" for the longest time, over a year or so, but last month I finally picked up my stitching and worked on my WIPs and also incorporated a few new starts!
Firstly started in 2016, Band Sampler from SANQ - just Part 3 to go:
Elle Brodes les Lettres en Carmin by Reflets de Soie, started on 1 January 2017 and then not picked up again until last month:
Alice by Aury TM which I started in August 2017 in an attempt to try stitching again:
More surprising to me was that after stitching on Elle Brode at the start of April, I had the urge to start a HAED, something I didn't think I'd do again, but started Mini Tears of Yesterday, another B&W Zindy Nielsen and an easy "mindless" stitch, first row of 10x10s across the pages:
Another designer that I thought I would never stitch - Miss Cherry Blossom by Mirabilia, stitched on a very special piece of fabric by Jodyri Designs, the August 2014 LE The Milkybar Kid. Started this one last weekend for the May Bank Holiday:
After barely stitching at all I can't believe that I have managed to maintain stitching on several different pieces for a whole month. I hope it continues!

So do I! What a wealth of beautiful, colourful and interesting stitching. Perhaps your stitchy bug has decided that there's no place like home? Hope so.
