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!

IHSW January

It has been awhile since I last posted!

For ISHW January, I worked on Gardenia by Nora Corbett. She is on PTP's crystal Chrysalis cashel linen. She was one of my new year starts.

Since I have not posted in awhile, I have a lot of pictures to show :)

My other new year start was Old World Vinery by Chatelaine. This one is on 32 ct ivory jobelan. I can't wait to get some more progress in, but I need to finish Lady Hera first.

This weekend I also finished Our Love Nest by Country Cottage Needleworks into a box. I thought it turned out pretty well, and I am glad it is no longer sitting in my drawer of finished cross-stitch.

I have been working a Lady Hera. It is about time I finished her, but the peacock tail is huge and taking some time to stitch! Hopefully I will finish her up in February.

Since I was getting a bit tired of Lady Hera, I also started At the Met by Mirabilia. I love the colors in her sash.

I also finished Knock Knock by Prairie Schooler into a box last October. I am finishing several of my other pieces into boxes too.

Last, but not least, is Luna by Nora Corbett. I stitched this piece for my sister's family, and it was their Christmas present.

Thanks for stopping by!

Catching up!

It is been awhile, but I do have some pictures :)

First up: framed Take Me Out to the Ballgame. This will be in hubby's office whenever he puts it up. There is a bit of a glare on the glass.

Second: framed When Witches Go Riding. I already have this one hanging in the kitchen. I put it up at the beginning of September :) Ellie's tale also made an appearance.

Third: I finished Sunflowers in Summer by Country Cottage Needleworks at the beginning of September.

Last: My new start. Luna by Nora Corbett. She is on 28 ct woodland violet jobelan. My niece picked out this pattern when we stopped at The Stitching Bee in Wisconsin. It is going to be a Christmas present for their family.

Thanks for stopping by!

August IHSW

I am a little late in posting, but I worked on Sunflowers in Summer by Country Cottage Needleworks for IHSW. It is a cute summer pattern :)

We discovered DogTV, and I have been playing that for Mandy while I cross stitch. It has relaxing music, and I am not distracted by the TV since the show is for dogs. If you have dogs, I recommend giving DogTV a try.

After I finish this pattern, my plan is to work on Lady Hera. That is my plan...but I might have to start one of the new Nora Corbett witches :) Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Finish

I finished When Witches Go Riding by Prairie Schooler....probably over a month ago now :) I have been quite busy and have not had time to post an update. I dropped this one off at the framer last week, and I can't wait to see what it looks like framed.

Two weeks ago, I visited family in Wisconsin. I stopped by The Stitching Bee in Green Bay, WI and picked up two new patterns and some floss. The ladies there were quite nice, and I recommend stopping by if you are ever in Wisconsin.

I have been slowly stitching the peacock in Lady Hera. The peacock is huge! I will try to get an update of her sooner rather than later.

Thanks for stopping by!

A finish

I finished Fresh Watermelon by Little House Needleworks. It took me a bit to even get a picture of it, and it has taken me even longer to actually write a blog post. Between work, my dogs, and gardening, I do not have much free time. On the plus side, I have lots of little cucumbers that will be ready to pick :)

This one was a cute, summery, finish. I like the beads that were used to make the ants :)

Last night I finished When Witches Go Riding by Prairie Schooler. Hopefully I will get my blog updated sometime next week with pictures of that one. I also picked Lady Hera back up! I am working on the peacock. She will be my next finish. Well, that is my goal anyway :)

Thanks for stopping by!
