No-Show Tuesday

No picture of the Amanda SAL to show today because I changed my mind (I'm a woman - I'm allowed to ;0) ) and made a start on the February Challenge piece instead.......... which I can't show until the reveal day. I've got about half of it stitched. It's another enjoyable one, plus it's a piece that's giving me the opportunity to try out a thread that is new to me so it's another learning curve. I've sort of got an idea in my head for finishing this but it's a case of if my skills are up to turning it into a reality.

As I haven't got a stitchy pic to show I thought I'd share one of this month's Monthly Club stash from Jayne instead.
I love receiving the pretty rainbow of Carrie's each month and the fabric is a Sassy's called Khaki - can't wait to find a suitable design for this as it's a gorgeous colour. I've also been mulling over what thread to go for once I've got all of the CC's and decided I would like some silks: there are Dinky Dyes in the Memories and Amanda SAL's and they feel gorgeous, as well as being lovely to use, so they are the strongest contender so far. Any other suggestions?

It's Tuesday again, which means it's UFO Night so bet you'll all be able to guess what I'm stitching on tonight. :0) Wonder if I can have a mega-stitch session and manage to get all of that last bit finished?

Well, what was bright and sunny weather this morning is now back to more rain but I've just seen the most glorious rainbow arching across the sky, with a faint secondary one above it - so not complaining about the weather when it brings a sign of the Goddess Iris, a good omen. The last time I saw such a wonderful sight was while we were on holiday in the Lake District last year, so it's brought back a few nice memories. :0) Of course it didn't last long enough for me to grab the digicam and have a go at taking a pic! LOL

Nicola: thanks for the tip re: getting paragraphs when Blogger is playing up. It works! Thank you. :0)

Many thanks to all for the encouragement about going out to the library - it will help me to achieve that goal and go on from there. :0)
