Most of the orts come from the felt stocking I have been working on, but more of that later! The little bear and the diary and address book were a lovely surprise from Michelle at Shells Stitching for being her first guest blogger - thanks Michelle, that was a lovely surprise! Do pop over and check out her blog - she's having a fab giveaway too!
So, onto the threads that were in the ort jar. Most of them were from my stocking which looked like this the last time you saw it...
...but now looks like this....
Anyway, here are some close ups of the stocking. Unfortunately, it's such a miserable rainy day here and the light isn't good to catch the sparkly effect of the beads and sequins.
So just the arms, mittens and the top part of his scarf and he'll be done!
And in the hope of tempting my stitchy bug to return, here are the updates of the WIP's, although I'm not sure if technically they can be called WIP's since I haven't worked on them in a couple of weeks.
Simple Treasures....
Geisha...
And last but not least, the good old Granny Squares!
And this is how it looks when they are all laid out...
Now I just have to figure out how to join them all together...YouTube, here I come!
Phew! For someone who has lost their stitchy bug, I'm quite surprised at how much I have to show you!
Until next time...happy stitching!
