Friday Night with Friends.

My FNwF started early in the day. I traced out Jenny's new stitchery from her lovely Vintage Kitchen BOM & Wendy's lovely free BOM. As it was a cold & rainy afternoon i spent it stitching & watching Steel Magnolias & Philadelphia. The result ?
Whilst stitching my dinner of pea & ham soup was cooking away in the slow cooker. Perfect dinner for a cold evening. :) After tea it was back to my wreath. Boy those holly leaves take some doing.
Those 5 finished ones get added to the 6 i did Thursday night. I cut out what remained of the light green leaves ready to stitch today/night & hopefully i'll get a start on the dark green leaves. Maybe i'll have a finished wreath by next week, :)

Pop on over to our lovely host Cheryll to find links to see what all the other lovely ladies got up to last night.

    Just popping by from the FNwF sign up post! What a sweet little stitchery you got done. I'm looking forward to seeing the wreath you make with the leaves.

    I recently started a weekly Stitchery Link Party for all things hand embroidered and I would love to have you come link up this post (or one of your other posts) to share with my readers. http://www.supermomnocape.com/2015/05/04/vintage-embroidery-monday-stitchery-link-party-4/
