An Evening with Noah's Ark and Shores of HRH stitcheries...

What a fab time I have had working on Noah's Ark tonight snuggled on my sofa with my 12yo son, a glass of port and a new TV show to watch. I have started viewing the first series of a boxed DVD set, Once Upon A Time- loving it by the way.You will be pleased to know my kangaroos now have been backstitched  and are ready to jump off the page! The rhinos are next in line for backstitching.

 
 
 
I have also spent more time on Block 1 of the Shores of Hawk Run Hollow.  Shores is such an easy pattern to follow especially in front of the TV. It is a simpler pattern to read than Noah's Ark which is full of mixing colours, half cross stitch and back stitch. But they will both be so worth it!
 


 
 
What are you working on this weekend?  I would love to hear your stitchy plans.
 
I am sending a big wave and welcome to my new followers!!!I hope you enjoy sharing my crafting journey.
 
Enjoy a stitchy weekend..

Great progress there. I am working on a sampler for my nephew and his wife's first child, due in October. Had a super stitching day yesterday.

Shores is growing nicely and the kangaroos look super detailed.
