Mind your Ps and Qs.....

or at the very least come check mine out!

So, for Friday Frolics this week, I chose to stitch on Peas and Qs by The Cricket Collection.

The last time I stitched on this piece was June last year (2017).

This is where I started yesterday.....   (the fabric is a very pretty green which is not really showing up in the photo, sorry).

... and as yesterday was a public holiday - for the AFL (Aussie Rules Football) Grand Final parade and, yes, we are so sports mad in Melbourne that we have not one but two public holidays for sporting events, the other being the Melbourne Cup in November (horse race) - that I was able to have a bit of a marathon of stitching on it, whilst I vegged out watching The Split (absolutely fabulous) and then The Making of the Mob (pretty good).

You can't see it all that clearly but I did the backstitch on the wreath as well.

This is what the finished the design will look like one day, sooner rather than later, I hope.

As this afternoon is the Grand Final (no mighty Tigers this year, though - boo hoo!), TraderVic and I will watch it this arvo - so I hope to stitch a good chunk more on it today.

My Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second Frolics for 2017.....

Here I am again, with a Threefer for you this time (is that even a word?????) .... I swear the days and weeks and months are just spinning by so fast in a whirlwind of family, friends, work, home and lots and lots of other things that seem to keep me busy and away from my blogging.

But, anyway, here I am right now and I am ALL yours, ready to give you Kitten Stitching and the Friday Frolics updates for my Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second Frolics for 2017.

Twentieth Frolic: Friday, May 26th:

For my Twentieth Frolic, I picked up this gorgeous WIP, "Peas and Qs" by The Cricket Collection.  

 Now, I cannot find any record on my main blog, Kitten Stitching, of when I started this gorgeous design and you can see from the photo below that I didn't get very far when I did start it (oh, I am so very easily distracted by other stitching!).

But for FF, I did manage to get a bit more stitched and a bit more colour into the design - I cannot wait to get back to this piece one day very soon. (The fabric is a much prettier green than this photo shows, I must say.)

This is a better picture of what this lovely design will look like once finished (in a year or two at the rate I go with focusing on one piece!)

Twenty-first Frolic: Friday, June 2nd:

For my Twenty-first Frolic, I picked up The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's "The Twelve Days of Christmas", which I am stitching for the Christmas Ornie SAL blog.  For June, I needed to finish Six Geese-a-layin'. I am quite happy with how this month turned out.

The piece so far.....

Twenty-second Frolic: Friday, June 9th:

For my Twenty-second Frolic, I picked up Lizzie Kate's "A Very Scary SAL", which I last stitched on in April this year.

My re-ordered WDW floss had finally come in at my local LNS, Lazy Daisy, so I was able to move on with my stitching of this piece.  This is where I got up to after my Friday evening of stitching.....

.... and then I stitched a bit more throughout the weekend and got up to here....

Feeling very happy to have revisited this particular piece again - I hope that I manage to get back to it again before year's end.

So, that's three weeks of Friday Frolics and here we are, nearly at Friday again!

I wonder which UFO I will choose to stitch on tomorrow?

Stay tuned!

hugs, Kaye
