Seven to go

Another segment from the "not so secret Secret Project number 3".
Seven left.



I finished this little guy in three evenings. Boyfriend and I have been watching season 1 of "Fringe" and it is really exiting. I have to do something simple while I watch that show because there is a lot going on that I don't want to miss, so the other men are staying behind.

While I am on the subject of my other men, I found out that the event I am doing Fred for is going to get another present, which means I can do him just for fun and gift him when finished and not at a specific event. Very good too, since I am still not halfway through.

And Henry is having a rest.

Mimle has gotten a new box because in the other box she had been naughty and peed in it:P I will try and take a picture of her new home. Bunny says it is a lot more like a home now that she has wrecked the place up a bit as I say, and home-decorating as she would have said.

Yes, yes, it is a new beginnig




Look at these lush colours. I must say that Bothy threads have really wonderful colour-combinations. Not that Henry lacks in that department either, his colours are wonderful too.



Yes, yes, it is a new start. But I did tell you guys that since Gorjuss was done I needed something small, and folks, this is it. This took me about two evenings, so I think it might be a quick stitch, just like I hoped.  And yes, it is "Secret Project Number 3", the not so secret one. That backstitching was a breeze too, took me no time at all. Now only eight more to go. 




Bunny contemplating hopping onto the sofa, but saw me and instantly ran off. Now that I am sitting in front of the computer I can hear someone suspiciously digging from over there. About time to give her some expensive hay with extra flavours, so she'll leave me and the sofa alone while I finish off here. 

I think I will take out Henry now and see if there is a certain part of him that screams loader than another for me to start on.

And now for something completely different.

But still vaguely familiar. It is Henry-time.

I know I have been a bit lax with my posting, so I am trying to amend that. There are a few posts that I have on my mind that I just have to write out. And since there might not be that much stitchy-stuff in those I am hoping you get your fix in this post.


There is only a little bit left on Jane Seymour's head and then I am done with another page. ^^ Very happy about that. My small goal was to finish this page by the end of the week, and I am very happy to  
have a goal that I've (nearly) accomplished. (in time) 
I like small accomplishes, in fact I measure everything in small accomplishments. Painstakingly ticked off my increasing to-do-list.  
Next week's goal is to finish Henry completely. ( not Henry as in the entire piece, but Henry as in the completion of his jacket. I am not insane enough to think that I can finish something as big as this in a week, when the other half took me six months)
In other news,  boyfriend and I have started watching Tudors together. <3


In case you have forgotten, this is how Henry and his crew will look once finished in another four months or so:P (picture borrowed from sewandso).

I am thinking that when I have completed this weeks goal I will take out dear Fred. Also, I must confess that I bought a small something. ( on sale) But, after secret project number two's completion I needed something easy and a travel-light stitch. So, for those of you familiar with it, it is a dictionary piece from "Bothy Threads".  I will not disclose which. ( Gorjuss was also from there, but this is completely different than her). And and, it is another piece stitched for an occasion, so, hence it will be remembered as Secret Project number 3.  And you will only see small peeks occasionally. And no, I have still not done ANY more threads on Secret Project Number One. But in danger of jinxing myself, there is soon another WiSP Sunday.



Bunny was having a small adventure, jumping up on our chairs and when spotted jumping down. Pretending it had not been her on that chair. Must have been some other bunny. 




When boyfriend and I went for a walk the other day, in the short interval that it was not raining we spotted this little guy. I am pretty sure he was supposed to be brown? He was rather yucky.
