Lots of updates!

Yippeeeeeeee! Yes, my college course is finally over. I'm relieved to get my life back!! Whilst I was completing my assignments it felt as if the course was going on forever, but when we got to the end, it didn't seem that long since last September when we all first started. I got an overall pass, but of my 5 assignments, 3 were passes, 1 gained a distinction and 1 gained a merit, so I guess that's not too bad. I've been feeling a little strange on my days off since it finished and although I've been stitching, it feels like I should be doing something else!

Talking of stitching, I have a finish and an exciting update! First of all, after much longer than it should have taken, I can present 'This Heart of Mine' by Ink Circles:

It's taken nearly a year to finish, I started last July and finished on Friday 13th June. It's been my lunchbreak project at work and with so much going on at work, I've not always managed to get some stitching time in. It's stitched 2 over 2 using Polstitches 'African Sunset' on SMF 'Impressionism' Belfast linen, which looks a little bluish in the photo, but it's actually minty green and lilac/purple.

My update is for Snow Princess - I've finally finished the page with the polar bear's face on!

Isn't she lovely? :o) I've also removed (with some difficulty) the gridding threads from the areas I've stitched. Here is a close-up of the bear's face:

I've got holiday coming up for the next 2 weeks as it's Wimbledon once more, so I'm hoping to get lots of stitching done inbetween the games.....
