Stitchy update :)

I finally managed to take a pic of my progress on Small Things this afternoon - haven't quite got the first page finished but am not far off. Didn't get a lot of stitching time in this weekend. I've been out and about today doing errands which means I can have a quiet stitching day at home tomorrow (once I've taken the kids to school and walked the dog!).

I managed to put some time in on Fire last night as well as a few stitches this morning before I headed out. She looks a bit skew-whiff in the pic but it's because I haven't loosened my Q-snaps :) I am not sure whether I will continue on her tonight though or pick up Shimmer. The latter has been neglected this week and I really want to get back to her but I am really keen to get the first page of Fire done too *sigh* ... decisions, decisions.

Tonight is NCIS night on telly so maybe I should work on Shimmer which has larger blocks of one colour (well, where I am on the chart at the moment there is!) while that's on and then go back to Fire where I am working on the detail stitches. Yes, I think that's what I will do :)

I tucked the fabric for Sea of Roses out of sight this afternoon so hopefully that will keep another start at bay ... for now - lol!! I need to get some stitches in on Medieval Town Mandala too - maybe I could devote the morning to Small Things and then put a few threads in on MTM in the afternoon?

My fabric for An Open Heart still hasn't arrived :( Last I checked it was on backorder waiting on shipment from supplier. I will check the status again tomorrow and if it hasn't changed I will send SB&B a quick email.

Oh, and I managed to find Serenity on DVD today while out doing my errands. Yay!! I found it in the DVD section in the little supermarket, of all places, where I do the bulk of my shopping!! Snapped it up in an heartbeat and I'll be watching it tomorrow for sure :) Guess I won't need to haunt Virgin every week now waiting for it to come in - lol! I bought Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire this week too - had to go in to Carrefours to get some dog treats via the DVD section (of course!) and there it was - lol!

Now all I need to do is wait patiently for the Inspector Lynley Mysteries to come out on DVD and hope they find their way out here too :) Should think they will as there are a lot of BBC series on DVD available here.

Better go and get dinner happening!

Oh Gosh Mel! You have been so busy with your HAED projects! I am so impressed!

I am happy dancing for you right now for your locating Serenity! What a place to find it too! LOL

Your HAEDs are looking wonderful. I remain constantly tempted by Fire, so I'm enjoying watching everyone else's WIPs.

Yay on finding Serenity! Wonderful movie. Hmmm, maybe it's time for a rewatch at my house.

Small Things and Fire are coming along beautifully - I just love the colours in Fire ... and I haven't commented yet about it, but I really like the new background of your blog :)
