Japanese Garden Update and a Finish

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We spent our weekend cleaning. Our old vacuum cleaner was not doing a good job picking up dog hair, so we ordered a new one (Dyson DC28). I was quite excited when it arrived, and even happier when I used it. Amazing! Then I used the little hand tools and cleaned the nooks and crannies in our apartment (This is how I know I am getting old-I was excited about a vacuum cleaner). Afterwards, hubby steam cleaned the carpet, and it looks so much nicer now.

On to stitching. I made some more progress on Japanese Garden. I'm getting there :)

 I also finished up February by Little House Needleworks. One more month to go :)

Mermaid update and a finish

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I worked on Mediterranean Mermaid last week. She has a lot of hair! I kept stitching and stitching, and still more hair. I love the blue highlights she has though. Anyway, she is not quite finished yet. I still have to put some beads on her tail and fins. Hopefully tomorrow I will be finished. Below is a pic of some of the beadwork. She has some gorgeous crystals-so sparkly!

Last week I finished a quick little stitch-February by Lizzie Kate. I put a fabric border on it and hung it up in my kitchen.
