Yesterday I returned to work after my prolonged sick leave! After the hour-thirty on the train and the tram ride up St Kilda Road, I was exhausted by the time I got there!!! I stayed until 3.00 pm or so then left for the long trip home again.
I did knit a little on the way to work – another 3 pattern repeats on my Irish Hiking Scarf but the train was too crowded to do anything on the way home…schoolkids!
Rosemarkie got a little attention on the way to work this morning and I think I can stitch on the way to work and knit on the way home – this should work! Here is the small amount I have achieved since last time I posted a picture. It should grow a bit faster now I am back to work!
Next is Saturday’s progress on Faith Hope Love! This is moving along quite quickly! I am really enjoying this one and it’s such a relaxing project to stitch in front of the telly or when the kids are around!

Unfortunately I didn’t stitch last night on the red piece – I was just too tired. I was tucked up in my little bed very early last night!
Tonight is “Victoria’s Quaker” night and I am feeling not quite as tired as yesterday so I will be able to achieve a little this evening – this is an enjoyable project too
As an aside, I am slowly building my set of Sampler and Antique Needlework Quarterly – another two ebay issues arrived today and I think that I only have about 7 issues to go now to have the complete set.
One of the issues I received today has the first part of a sampler I dearly want to do! It’s Sharon Cohen’s Millenium cutwork sampler! If you’re perhaps interested in doing a very leisurely stitch along on this project – leave me a comment! I wont be able to start till the new year perhaps so you have a while to think about it. I thought abotu writing to Sharon to see if she could provide a chart for the number 7 or 8 or 9 (depending on when I finish it LOL)..I’ll let you know how it goes!
Now, it’s off to spend some time with Victoria!
Rosemarkie looks stunning Tannia. My stitching talents do not extend to the level to be able to do the cutwork sampler so I will just enjoy watching yours progress.
Your Rosemarkie is gorgeous, and the Faith, Hope, Love piece is looking very nice too.
Hi! Glad to see that you are back up and running! All the best!
Great to hear you’re back to work again so quickly! I only just saw your comment on my blog about the Sharon Cohen SAL (for some reason I’m just realising not all my comments seem to arrive in an email ho-hum) … do you mean her whitework/cutwork sampler?? If so, all I can is … {{gulp}} ;P
