I'm back from my trip to Perth and completely exhausted. I stitched a bit on the plane both ways and am really looking forward to getting back into it today & tomorrow. The annual Bathurst V8 supercar race is on tomorrow so I might get Earth Gatherers out for a look in while I watch. It's been 6 years since I've seen the race live so it should be great.
I've also had a finish this week. It's the 2009 SB fob and I just adore the colour of the linen. It's really "me" if you know what I mean. I was a little disappointed with the amount of thread in the kit though. Usually SB give you enough to stitch things twice so to find single strands of each colour for this one was a bit unusual. Not only did I only get 1 strand of each colour, but each strand was only about 14" long. I found some leftovers from another kit & the strands in that one were 26" long so you can see how different it is. I don't usually bother getting extra from SB as I can usually use my stash if I run out but this kit had a new WDW in it, Guacamole, which I didn't have so had to buy one specially because of course, I ran out of that colour (it's used in the hill). Anyway, enough of that rant. Here are the pics (I just noticed when I took them that I had forgotten to put the button on).

So cute! I love this fob -- of course, I haven't stitched it yet. I should though. Love it!!
Darling stitch Alison. I agree...the SB girls have gotten a little more stingy. I had to call and get more floss to finish Sail Away as did one of my friends.
HUGS girl and have a stitchy weekeknd!!
Cute! I might have to indulge myself on that one! Glad you are home from Perth safe and sound. Enjoy your race and stitching! Nothing more fun that stitching and watching a race for me!
Good to see you back, I have been wondering how you were getting on.
Love the fob, it is lovely, and i have it to stitch too.
Hope you managed to watch the race and work on EG. I must get my Gatherers out and get them finished too.
Welcome home! Hope you had a good visit with the Perth ladies! Wish I could have joined you! Your fob is very cute!!
This one is a darling!
That's interesting about the threads. I must go check mine out, as like Margaret and Kath, I haven't stitched it yet.
Welcome home too, Alison!
Welcome home! Your fob looks great. :)
Glad to hear you had a great time, albeit exhausting! Your latest fob finish is gorgeous :)
O! It is so nice!!! :))
