First Strawberry Finish

Here's my first strawberry from Barbara's Needlepoint.

I changed some threads because the ones in the kit were just too heavy for me.  So that's 2 strands of white floche instead of Pepper Pot and then the dit dot in between is a cross stitch in white Petite Silk Lame.  I've got one more to finish from my last trip (they went to North Carolina) and then I'll send them in for finishing.

Happy Wednesday!

What's Next ?

My friend Millie loves to tease me about my unfinished projects. 

Here's a blast from the past.  I uncovered this while organizing my stitching closet.  It's a pink birdhouse all kitted up.  It's from WAY BACK so it's pretty easy.  I think I'll try and do it in sections - starting with the purple shutters.  I think I last worked on this in 2010, but whose counting years at this point!

Then of course there's the gorilla on my desk.  Oh, I have come so far!  Next up here is to finish the last witch's hair and hat.  At least I finished all those pesky little pumpkins!  The trees are another issue 😝  Something involving gnarly branches....

Have a great day!

A Decision is Finally Made

Hi there,

This one has been sitting next to my desk for about a month while I ponder the ground beneath the house.  Tonight I finally decided that ground doesn't have to be straight across.  And I actually like it this way .  How many canvases have I done with rolling hills??? So my Halloween house now has a rolling  ground.

I especially like the spider climbing up the wall!  I do hope he's not destroyed in the finishing process!

This was another fun canvas that I had FOREVER and now it's done!

Mini Christmas Wreath

All finished and SEW MUCH FUN!

Sunday Finish Off the Shelf

Hi there,

It took 2 days and the longest Dolphin game ever to get this finished.  I only have one more candy so I think I will aim to finish up this series.  This one had a LOT of beads as you can see.  The last one has almost none!

Have a great week!

White Rabbit

Hi there,

I am of a certain age where "White Rabbit" only meant one thing... the hit song by the Jefferson Airplane.  I also wanted to be Grace Slick so this was an obvious one to pick up from the TBF pile.

It still astonishes me how floss whiskers look so real!

Have a blessed Sunday xoxo

Egg Finishing

Stitch guides and finishing by Enriched Stitch.  Like they say in racing - do not try this on your own!  Leave to the professionals!!

Have a great weekend!

Running out of Space!

Hi there,

I'm running out of space on my stitching shelf!  My Amy Cookbooks are getting smushed!  These projects are the "grab and go" ones but they don't seem to be going anywhere.  In fact I think they're multiplying.

 


So I better finish one of these little projects and free up some room.  Here's a bunny that went on a vacation and never got finished.  Lots of tennis on tv so this is a good one.  I love how the shading shows through the wisper!
