I've got a few minutes before I have to go to work (yes, on a Saturday still), so I thought I would use my coffee drinking time wisely to post a couple of pictures as proof I'm still alive and stitching.

The tartan cushion for my mum. It's harder going now that I'm working in the gaps. I glad hoped to have this done for mothers day, but given that's only a few weeks away I guess we shall see how I go. Maybe I'll work on it tonight after finishing the little bit of back stitching I have to do.

Joan Elliots The Astrologer. For some as yet unknown reason I thought the borders were going to be in a brighter gold. But this will work.

Brookes Books stitchers ABC'S - a is for aran. It looks more sweater like in the photo than in my hand I must say. This is the back stitching that I want to finish tonight after work. Part of my "secret" master plan which amazingly I haven't given up on yet.
