Hello Everyone,
I hope the first month of new year treated you well. I have been busy busy..,in mind I composed the posts to be put up on the blog but never get around to post them in real.
As crafting has taken a back seat since I left Kuwait, I decided to join only two SALs this year, both hosted by Jo.One of those is The People's Choice SAL. Its an easy SAL where one theme selected is by us crafters for each month and then we post about it.
For January, the theme was Lizzie*Kate. It would sound like a repeated story but like Jo, I wasn't a fan of the designer in the beginning as I felt that her designs required too many specific items like fabric and floss.
However, I have acquired a taste for them over the time as I could see how simple the designs were.
I have two Lizzie*Kate patterns in my stash , though my record keeper says three.Its driving me crazy that I can't trace the third.

I don't have any penguin patterns in my stash!
That's it for today, I hope to post on time for the next SAL.
LizzieKate is one of my favorites and I have stitched their patterns with the called for threads and with my own choices and they both turned out just as beautiful. And they are so fun to stitch!
ReplyDeleteLovely ornaments, makes me remember there is a penguin in day 7 of the Brooke's book advent calendar I could stitch! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in The People's Choice this month (and last month!).
ReplyDeleteGiveaways are a great way to try a designer you might not have thought of stitching before.
The penguins are very cute. It was a difficult post for me too!
Thanks for sharing. Nice to see a post from you. Hope things are going well.
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces for January and February :-)
ReplyDeleteLizzie Kate is popular in exchanges, her sayings seem to fit every event.
ReplyDeleteNice penguins
Glad to see you stitching! Your penguins are adorable--everyone always loves those cute little fellows :)
ReplyDeleteLove the penguin ornies. Where are you living now since you left Kuwait?
ReplyDeleteGood job catching up on two months :) I hope you manage to locate your third L*K.
ReplyDeleteBusy life in #Mumbai has reduced your number of blog posts also. Good to se your new post. I know you have been travelling within #India. Would like to see a post about that...
ReplyDeleteAwe, love the penguins!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find your other LK, I know that's frustrating.
