Preparation & T-Rex

Bit of an odd week thus far, evenings have been busy but I don't feel as though I have even scratched the surface of my to do list, and that's not even touching the goals for July list. But, I think I am at least starting to make a bit of a headway so by the end of the week I can at least start to cross things off. Hopefully!

I do also seem to be loving the side projects and I have two more this week, along with the cross-stitch piece, I am currently mending the poor Mr T-Rex that was played with by my sisters dog, so attempting mouth, neck and head surgery over the course of the week.

Poor Mr T-Rex

Then, those who follow me on Facebook have heard me utter, I want to make a Peter Pan collar. And byjove I've only gone and started one. I've made the pattern pieces, tacked the fabric, and now I just need to transfer the embroidery design onto the fabric (mini Paradise Birds - got to keep the theme going!)

Will eventually look like something.

For the non-side project I am working on the prep for the first Bee related piece, just need to pick up the threads this weekend and then I can get cracking. I've already done the experimenting with the Black work stitches, so I sort of know what to expect. Sort of...

Tell what it is yet?

And that ladies, gents and dinos, sums up my week so far!

Oh, and I am now down to 12 Mini Button Needlecases, grab them whilst you can!
