Advent Animals - Peter Polar Bear
Designer: Brooke Nolan (Brooke's Books)
Freebie - Brooke's website
Fabric: 32ct Belfast "Moonbeam" from Stitches & Spice
Then: I started stitching on the Brooke's Books Advent Animals for the DUCJC2015 and unfortunately not a lot has been done on these cuties done since then.... (25 designs - started 3, finished 1)
Yesterday I decided that it would be a Brooke's Books Sunday and Peter Polar Bear came out to play... I last stitched on him in April 2015 and left him looking like this!

Fabric: 32ct Jobelan "Silver Springs" from Colour Cascades Fabrics

Then and Now: For Stitch Maynia Colour A Day (Orange Crush) on 24th September I found a poor little WIP sitting in the box that would be perfect for this day's stitching challenge. I started him for an ABC Challenge in 2015 and did manage to do a little bit more on him in between April 2015 and September 2016... which I had to frog before I could restart the orange stitching again!

So that's it for the WIPs for now! Lots of stitching has been done recently... but not a lot of blog posting so this post is a little bit picture heavy... sorry...
I'll come back and show you my new starts another day - with a little bit of luck some of them might even be finishes by then!
Til next time, happy stitching

Lovely update - I don't know how you keep track! They are all gorgeous but I do like Peter's jumper.

You have been a busy lady! Lovely.
Thank you for sharing all of your progress. I must take a visit to Brooke's website, so many people stitch her designs. All of your WIPS are wonderful.
Do you have a floss tube channel? Sometimes I get so caught up in watching all of them. I have found so many wonderful new things to stitch and so many great ways to finish
Wow! Excellent stitching on everything.
Great progress on all of your WIPs - too hard to choose a favourite this time around. Grumpy kitten is taking shape like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland - lol!
Waouh so much progress! Well done! Colors for Pegasus/Wizard are beautiful and I love all the charts of Advent Animals. Now I want to begin my skating kittie n° 1 (feeling the support of Peter ;) xxx
Great progress on all your lovely projects!!
