And This Little Pig said Stitching Update

Yes I know I said I was doing a stitching update, but I was home last weekend, helping Mum and Dad, and most importantly taking photos of Anglo Nubian kids to be sold overseas. We are very excited this is our first 'private' export, there are two adult does, and their three kids, along with another three kids. So here is Mum doing a bit of 'spit and polish' on one of the girls. (Pssst don't tell Mum I put her photo up :)
My progress on Gracewood Stitches Northern Nights, over halfway. I have altered this a little, I've used 4 blues, 3 golds, and 3 greens, and also left out three bigger bands, and changed around some of the smaller separation bands, but I do like how it is going. Here's hoping I don't get to the end and think... ohh maybe I should have...
County Cottage Needleworks Pumpkin Cottage, all framed.
Little House Needleworks Pumpkin Hollow Farm, back from the framers as well. I received a 2nd with this at my local Ag show, and Highly Commended for Pumpkin Cottage, very please all round.

Seeya soon... LiBBiE in Oz :@

  1. Lovely stitching and I LOVE the frames you chose! I can see why you had accolades at the AG. I like what you are doing with Northern Lights. I'm too much of a coward to change patterns around, I think I would be happier if I had the courage to change some....so you GO girl!! Can't wait to see the final product! *Hugs*
