August Update

I have a lot of finishes to show!

First up: Red by Mirabilia. She is on pearl gray belfast. I love the way she turned out, and I will be taking her to my framer this week.

Next up: Sweet Pea by Nora Corbett. She is on PTP Meditation cashel. This will be a present for my oldest niece.

I have several small finishes and some projects that I finished into ornaments and pillows. My first one is Little Lady Liberty by Little House Needleworks.

I also finished Christmas in the Country by Little House Needleworks.  I changed some of the colors to what I had in my stash.

Lastly, I have two Halloween Finishes. I finished a pattern in Boo Moon by Prairie Schooler into an ornament.

I also finished a pattern in Heads Up by Prairie Schooler into a pillow. I stitched this one on PTP Eek cashel.

I am currently working on Freesia Crystals by Chatelaine. My plan is to post a progress picture sometime next month ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

June Update

I have several photos to share :)

First up: Ophelia's Pearl by Nora Corbett. She is stitched on Coastal Cashel linen by Picture This Plus. My niece selected this mermaid, and it will be a present for her.

Next are two small finishes.

Silent Night by Little House Needleworks. This one is on Marble Belfast linen.

Uh Oh by Prairie Schooler. I stitched it on Eek Cashel linen by Picture This Plus, and the pattern is found in the Heads Up book.

I started Sweet Pea by Nora Corbett, and this will be a gift for my eldest niece. I love all the purples and pinks in this one :) I am also making progress on Red. I hope to finish her in July.

March Update

Hi! I have lots of photos to share.

First up: two ornament finishes. These will be Christmas presents this year. I have four done and one more to do.

Merry Christmas by Little House Needleworks

Let Us Adore Him by Country Cottage Needleworks

I finished Mermaid Azure by Nora Corbett. She is stitched on PTP Glacier cashel. My niece selected this mermaid, and it will be a present for her.

My other niece selected Ophelia's Pearl by Nora Corbett. I am stitching her on PTP Coastal cashel.

Lastly, my progress on Red. I am working on her cape now. It is a good thing I like the color red since there is so much of it.

January Update

I had my first two finishes of 2016 in January. The first one was Merry Merry! by Country Cottage Needleworks. I stitched it on Star Sapphire jobelan. For a little extra bling, I added white beads to the red part of the tree.

My next finish was Be Merry by Country Cottage Needleworks. I stitched this one on cream belfast. I substituted Turkish Red by Weeks Dye Works for the specified red in the pattern. Both of these ornaments are quite adorable :)

My New Year's Day start was Medieval Enchantment by Passione Ricamo. I am using Earthen Belfast by Picture this Plus. I probably will not pick her back up until I am done with Red.

Below is my progress on Red. I love her dress!

I plan to stitch a couple more ornaments in February. I also started Mermaid Azure by Nora Corbett this weekend, and I hope to finish her in February too :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Last Finish of 2015

Pumpkin Hollow Farms by Little House Needleworks was my last finish of 2015. I stitched it on Light Mocha Belfast linen. This was a cute fall finish :)

I started Red by Mirabilia. She is on pearl gray belfast linen. I am so happy that I finally was able to start this one. So far, she is one of my favorite Mirabilias.

My New Year's Day start for 2016 will be Medieval Enchantment by Passione Ricamo. I have her all kitted up and ready to go.

Happy Holidays!

Finishes

I finished Azalea at the end of October. She is stitched on Bo-peep pink cashel linen (which is actually a very pale pink). I like all the brights colors in her :)

On Halloween weekend, I decided to stitch a little Prairie Schooler ornament from Boo Moon. I changed the moon from orange to yellow.

Right now I am working on Pumpkin Hollow Farms by Little House Needleworks. My plan is to finish this one before Thanksgiving.

Thanks for stopping by!

October Update

I have a finish! Ana by Nora Corbett. She is stitched on PTP Storm belfast. I finished her at the end of September.

I have continued working on Azalea by Nora Corbett. Unfortunately, she had a little incident with Mandy. Mandy went snooping in my bag and pulled out a container of Thread Heaven, which she broke into tiny pieces. Mandy also decided to chew a little on the hoop holding Azalea. There are 2 spots on the right side where the fabric is a little thin, but at least she did not tear a whole. I gave Azalea a wash to get the dog saliva and blood out of the fabric. Azalea is a little worse for wear, but I think she looks ok, She has a little more character now.

While Azalea was getting cleaned, I started Electra by Nora Corbett on PTP French Lilac belfast.

Finished

I finished At the Met by Mirabilia earlier this month and dropped her off at the framer last week. She is gorgeous, and I can't wait to see what she looks like framed. She is stitched on Light Mocha Cashel linen.

Some close ups:

I will be starting Ana by Nora Corbett. My goal is to have her finished before Halloween.

Thanks for stopping by!

IHSW July

For this IHSW, I worked on At the Met by Mirabilia. I am getting close to finishing her. Yay!

It has been awhile since I last posted an update. I finished French Country Elephant by JBW Designs for my nephew that was born last month. It is stitched on Marble Belfast linen using Turkish Red thread by Weeks Dye Works.

We visited our new nephew earlier this month for a short vacation, and I started working Azalea by Nora Corbett. She is stitched on Bo-Peep Pink Cashel linen. Once I finish At the Met, I will then continue working on Azalea.

Thanks for stopping by!

Gardenia Finish

I finished Gardenia by Nora Corbett earlier this month. She is stitched on PTP Chrysalis opalescent cashel.

I am currently working on At the Met by Mirabilia and a baby announcement for my soon to be niece or nephew. I will try to get pictures of these up later this month. Thanks for stopping by!

Lady Hera Finish

I finally finished Lady Hera!! Yay!!

She is stitched on Autumn Blush belfast. I started her in August of 2012, and then stopped working on her for a while (over a year). I had a mental block with the peacock tail, and I didn't want to stitch it. The peacock tail was definitely worth the effort :)

If anyone is ever interested in stitching Lady Hera, I ran out of the blue beads (0020) and green beads on the curtain (2104) and had to order an extra pack of those colors.

I am currently working on Gardenia by Nora Corbett, and I hope to have her finished by the end of the month. Thanks for stopping by!
