DSDUCJFC - days 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

Well...you can tell that normal service has been resumed and the school holidays are over.  No time for blogging and not much more for stitching.

I had a mock maths exam on Wednesday so I have had to revise for that this week as well.  There's no rest for the wicked!

So on Monday (aka day 5), Rachael had chosen from the box. She picked Henry VIII and his wives. Here is the before and after photos.



As you can see, a bit of brown, a bit of red to the left hand side and that's it!

Then, it was Luke's turn to choose from the box for Day 6.  He picked LHN's Ye Olde Chocolate Shoppe which was WIP.  Here is the before...


...and here is the after!  A couple of lengths of threads down the left hand side...so much more exciting that the little black blob you got to see a few days ago...lol.


Luke's choice for Day 7 was Lizzie Kate's Santa which is stitched on some random fabric from my stash.  It is one of my new starts so no 'before' photo.


Day 8 and I chose Halloween Town by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery.  I had stitched Part 1 and 2 but as the SAL is long since finished I won't worry about stitching the other 2 parts as parts but will just stitch it as I feel like.


I started the pink border which will have Halloween Town stitched in it eventually.  So...not a lot!


On the 9th day of Debbie's Challenge, my stash box gave to me...LHN's Party Cakes.  As this was also a new start, there really isn't a lot to see.

Lovely choices and great work! Henry was one of my favourite projects to complete, it's a lot of work but well worth it!

Party Cakes looks like a dangerous piece to stitch lol. I would constantly be craving a slice or three. :D

Brigitte said...

A nice idea to let the kids and DH choose what will be next. I love your before and after pictures. Nice projects chosen by you all.

Nice starts! I am a little disappointed though, I was expecting more little black rectangles ;)

LOL at Neilteil! Far too much colour here.
I managed a couple of windows on the Hallowe'en Town this month.
