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

TAAT for me this Friday ...

My dear friend, Jo, from Serendipitous Stitching, introduced me to a new acronym the other day - OAAT (One At A Time) stitching, when she commented on my last FF post about my new start "Too cold to go out".

Well, this FF I actually did TAAT (Two At A Time) stitching.  During the day, when the light was better, I stitched on "Too cold to go out" and then in the evening (when I had less good light), I stitched on a new Christmas design from Rico Designs, which happened to take my fancy.

Now, enough chat, let's get to the nitty gritty - the pics!!!!!

Too cold to go out

This is where I got up to after last week's FF...

... and after some stitching during the week, I was up to here....

and then yesterday I managed only a bit of progress, as I had to frog the dark grey for Milo twice!  Aaagghh!

Christmas Design

 I had a bit more success with my Christmas stitch from the Rico Design book.

 This is what I had accomplished during the week.

... and this is my progress after FF (the fabric colour is truer in the pic above)

Now, this piece has no name.  It is rather prosaically called Design 77796.  However, I am calling it "Snowy Russian village"

 The reason for this is two fold.

One, the onion dome on the top of the tower reminds me of Russian churches.

Two, you may remember last week that I posted this pic of Furio reading my gripping thriller ...

I think that Brigitte, you asked the name of the novel, well, it was called Moskva and I found it to be a compelling thriller and can highly recommend it.

So, that is all for me for now,

hugs, Kaye
