Smalls challenge January 2016

Just finished my January 2016 smalls challenge, Mill Hill Kitty's Stocking: Here it is. I started on Jan 1st and just finished!!

January 2015

Well, I haven't blogged for a long long while, but here I am again!! Above is the mandarin/lemon cheesecake that I made this afternoon, couldnt stop at one piece!

I've decided to join the WIPocalypse again, when I last did it, it was excellent to show progress on my pieces. I remember I selected a few pieces to focus on. I have made a lot of progress on The Token (one over one piece) from Longdogs and have nearly finished pages 3 and 4. First focus will be to finish pages 5 and 6, which won't be too hard as they are shorter pages. I'll post photos shortly when pages 3 and 4 are complete.

The other pieces haven't really seen light of day since I posted about them the last time. I have so many small Mill Hill ornaments "nearly" completed, I will make an effort and finish the mitten one.

Meanwhile I have been doing quite a lot of other things, lacemaking and also a new type of whitework called Sardinian, main stitch is knots. Yvette Stanton hs written the book and there are some lovely projects in it.

Well that's all for now, promise to post more pics soon.

Wow, I finished two things today!!

Well, red letter day today.

I finished my a Mill Hill beaded ornament and completed my first Milanese bobbin lace piece, a lovely design by Louise Colgan of a hummingbird, here they are:
