So i didn't get much done. We had plans with friends on Tuesday evening so i had a free hour after work to stitch and that was it.Here's a progress picture of Dollhouse, i finished another room recently.
I'm getting cravings for new stash this week! I really want another big project to work on. I think im going to go for Cirque des Cercles by Ink Circles. This certainly will be a big project with nearly 20,000 stitches in it. Im not keen on the colour in the link but i've seen it done on a few blogs in beautiful colours and i want to buy this right now!! LOL. Im not sure what colours i would choose, i'm not very good at visualising how things would look so if you have any suggestions you can let me know! (**6.30pm update - i have no will power, i've ordered the chart - im so excited!!!)
I am so glad it's the easter weekend. Today my boss let us finish just after lunch and i'm now off until Tuesday. It is such a good feeling, especially seeing as the weather has been so beautiful recently. It's my friends wedding on Saturday so im excited about that and i hope it stays sunny for her. I'm also hoping DH and I will be able to go biking at some point over the weekend, the first time the bikes will have been aired all year.
Happy Easter to all my blogging friends!

I think Cirque de Circles definately screams for an overdyed. I love mine, but if I were picking again I'd do one with only 2 variations of color, not the four I'm using! LOL I'm not sure there's a *bad* color to use for this!! Can't wait to see what you pick!
I agree with Angi! And the Vikki Clayton silks are beautiful. I think you made more progress than you think. I chose to work on parts that really had no thought or patterns to follow. I didn't have the brain power. I'm glad you get a long weekend - that's really nice. Being that I work at an agency that is extraordinarly religiously and culturally mixed we don't have many religious holidays off. We do have a ton of days off though! Anyway - have a great weekend.
I love the little chimney sweeper! And Coffee is looks like it's stitching up pretty quickly!
ohhh you bad girl .. just couldn't wait to order it eh? lol .. I can't wait to see what fabric and threads you decide to use .. that is one yummy pattern!
Coffee Menu is coming a long great! Enjoy your long weekend!
I have this pattern. I just haven't started it. I bought it with the intention of stitching it for my niece, just haven't yet. Lots great though! hope you have a great Easter!

Doll's House is looking so cute, and I like coffee menu as well. LHN patterns seem to be quite popular lately as a lot of people seem to be posting that is what they are working on.
Cirque des Cercles is lovely, what a fun Easter present to give yourself. Have a fun weekend, and I hope the weather stays nice for your friends wedding and so you can go biking.

Hi ! I love your coffee shop and your dolls house is coming along so nicely. I have the cirque de cirque in my stash to do but like you I havent decided on colour and fabric. I don't know when I'll be starting it - not yet. If you want to do it as an SAL let me know.
Lovely progress on Coffee Menu and Doll House, Cheryl... :-)
