Some Stitchy Bits & Pieces

Here's a progress pic of "Sweety", which I started on the 3rd of October 2012. It's working up quite quickly. I'm toying with the idea of stitching "Kim's Kitchen" under it, framing it in a white frame and hanging it in my kitchen.

On another stitching note, I took advantage of a sunny dyes fabric sale at youthful hands needle crafts  recently. I got the following fabrics, including this cute winter print. I can just see a snowman or two on it.

My new project

Just posting a "before" pic of my current project:

Our Last Local Competition

We had our final local calisthenics competition yesterday and were hoping we may do well enough to take home a trophy. We gained 2 2nds and 4 3rds, and yet again it came down to the last item to find out the runner-up, but sadly this time it didn't go in our favour and we ended up 3rd overall. We were very happy with the 2 2nd places as they were for items we haven't done all that well in prior to this, with one only being half a point behind first place! Next up we take on the Pan Pacific Masters Games on the Gold Coast in November. There's 2 heats with the first 4 place getters in each item in each heat going through to the finals. I'm also competing in a duo competition. It should make for a lot of fun, especially being that it's on the Gold Coast. In November!
