BAP Attack is hosting Turtle Trot 2014. This is my June update. I hope you like following my progress. This Turtle Trot allows me to focus on a few WIPs each month.
Since May 10th, I have made progress on three of the ten projects on my list. I am really happy with the progress (despite only working on 3x WIPs) as I finished Block 1 of my first project, The Shores of Hawk Run Hollow.
1. Shores of Hawk Run Hollow by CHS
Hooray! Block one is completed and I sure do love it. My 4yo boy, Tom loves the lighthouse a lot!
After:
2. I Love London by Historical Sampler Company
I have stitched up the double decker bus! It is the last picture in this scene. Now for the fun border.
Before:
3. Shepherd's Bush 2007 Christmas stocking
I stitched more on the buildings and the border below the sheep.
4. Annet Eriksson's Passion for Stitching Chateau

Enjoyed the video.
Shores is looking superb!
Beautiful stitching! You're so close to being done with a couple of these :D
Lots of great projects Jan - I would need a stitching plan to keep up with all that you have going on.
Beautiful stitching...
Big hugs x
Lovely progress on your WIPs - love that London design :-)
Very nice proress on your three WIPs. And I loved your video.
The light house is great. My cousin is expecting a baby and they have a seaside theme to the nursery so I have been looking at beach huts and lighthouse alot!
It is interesting that your schools start a new chapter in Year 11. In the UK Year 11 is the final year in full time school, they do all their exams at the end of it. These are GCSEs and the expectation is that all pupils will leave with between 5 and 9 of them in different subjects.
Then they can spend 2 years specialising in A levels, or go to vocational college or get a job/apprenticeship.
After 2 years of A levels they can go to university.
When do your children take their main exams? I'm guessing that they start school at the same age as our's, Year 1 is when they are 5, rising 6. They do a year in Reception when they are 4, rising 5.
Unless they are special like my little one who is going to do two years in Reception because he couldn't cope with Year 1 in a mainstream school.
Great stitching progress, Jan! Shores of HRH looks so nice!
Congrats on finishing your block on Shores HRH! It's beautiful!
Lovely progress on all projects.
love Annette
