It's not that ....

.... I don't Frolic every Friday,  I DO, it is just that I don't always get around to posting about it!

So, here I am again, THREE Friday Frolic updates behind again.  So, let's see if I can rectify that right now!

Friday 3rd June:

Trying to cast my mind back that far is hard - lol!  But looking back at my pics, I worked on my Snowy Russian Village, which I finished a day or two later.

This is a Ricoh Christmas Design and while you cannot see it in this image, the snow and roof tops sparkle with gold.

Further details can be found in this post, here.

Friday, 10th June:

Surprise, surprise, I started on a new SAL!  This is the gorgeous design for the Queen's 90th birthday gifted to the All Our Yesterday's FB group by the gorgeous Faye Whittaker herself.

This is my first progress pic during Friday evening.

... and then I kept working on it some more over the long weekend (Queen's Birthday - most apt!)

... and then a bit more during the week....

.... and then all of a sudden Friday rolled around again and by the next Friday I had abandoned the Queen for some Galahs!

Friday, 17th June:

This design is a gift from the lovely Jo, from Serendipitous Stitching,  sent to cheer me up as I happened to mention on a recent blog post that my daughter is moving to London soon for an indeterminate length of time.  It is a gorgeous design of Galahs, called aptly "What a Galah"




I am so enjoying stitching on this piece - thank you so much, dear Jo.

Also for FF, I finished knitting my Baby blanket and made three soft ornies


.

So, it was a very productive FF for me this week.  You can read more about these projects here.

Okay, enough from me for now - off to stitch with my friends, the Galahs,

hugs, Kaye

Knitting and Stitching on a Friday Frolics evening ....

... what more could you ask for?

Well, last night was both FNwF and Friday Frolics, so here is what I got up to ....

I knitted some more of my ombre baby blanket for my friend's son's baby to come...

Just a few rows but the blanket is growing, it went from this ...

to this...

I am now well on my way on my third colour - only two to go after I finish this lighter blue.

Stitchingwise, I randomly chose this UFO,  the gorgeous Thirteen Colonies by LHN.  Now, I last stitched on this way back in January, 2012!!!!!! You can read all about it on my Kitten Stitching blog here.

Now, when I picked it up last night, the stitching was like this....

Yay! I finished the little grey house - although you may notice that I am frogging the browny colour on the right - I realised that I had used the wrong floss colour, all those years ago - aagghh!

I am certain that Thirteen Colonies was a gift from dear Gracie from Needles, pins and dragonflies and she generous gifted me not only the pattern but the fabric and the floss as well - thank you, dear Gracie.  So sorry to have neglected it for so long but it is back in the rotation now - please look for another update post on this next week for Gifted Gorgeousness  on my Kitten Stitching blog and I am going to add it to my 'Merica Monday rotation for the Americana SAL to make sure that it does not get forgotten again.

I hope that everyone had a frolicking fun time last night, 

hugs, Kaye
