End of April update

These past few weeks have flown by and it will soon be my busy May and June period when stitching will virtually dry up.

I took part in the Needlecraft Haven Spring exchange. I sent Gill a hanging ornament of the word Spring. I took this from the Just Nan sampler 'A Breath of Spring'. I also stitched an Easter card with the 2008 Dragonlet by Dragon Dreams. Of course I forgot to take a photo of that.

From Julie I received this pretty rabbit spring ornament, threads, flower seeds and card.

Last week I fully finished Just Nan's 'Spring in the Square'. The other three seasons will be fully finished as the year progresses.

Embellishment: Swan Lake Gold Visions charm, cording DMC 520 and 522 thread

Even though I have a couple of larger projects that I could be working on, I just want to stitch on smaller projects at the moment. That is why I started and finished stitching Just Nan's 'Summer Stroll'. For some reason I want to go through my Just Nan stash.

For a change of pace, I've also picked up a knitting project that I started a couple of years ago. More accurately I should describe this as a restart because I had a partially finished sock and had no idea where I was in relation to the pattern. This is what I knitted so far and I'm determined to keep going until I have a finished pair of socks. I'm knitting the free Easy Cable Sock from Winwick Mum.
