Strawberry Arrival

Here they are!

I have 2 more finished and pinned up on my bulletin board to be sent after Christmas.

And here is Rebekkha - I finished her cape and now am moving on to her hair, the lace trim on her apron and then the left column.  Then who knows...maybe the other eggplant!

There's A Video For That!

Hi there,  

I'm still having some trouble remembering what day it is.  Should be Saturday by now. 

I'm still working on Elegant Thanksgiving and today I decided to try picot needleweaving which is how the eggplant leaves are done on the garland.  Good thing I still have an OLD laptop with a disk drive because I needed it.  I spent an hour this morning watching Amy and Kelly do needleweaving so was ready to try it on my own.  Two hours and two attempts later I had 3 leaves.  Oh this will definitely not be finished in 2018!

Here's my practice canvas- kind of messy but I'm getting the idea!

Here's how it looks now after putting it in and taking it out and putting it in again.  Not too shabby!

Have a great rest of your weekend!

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE !!!

Hi there,

In the midst of a free fall in the stock market I am feeling good about working my stash.  I have just finished Eleven Pipers Piping!  That means one more to go!

Here they are all laid out on the bed.  Awesome!  The 5 golden rings canvas is still on stretcher bars because of the turkey work.

Then,  since it IS Thanksgiving week I thought I might pull out Elegant Thanksgiving.  This is as far as I got - I think I may try and give Rebecca some hair this year and I have to take out the hands because they are supposed to be on top of the basket.  Would love to work on the basket...Lets see how it goes...

 Here's the big picture- don't count on this getting done in 2018 (hopefully 2019).  This is a super time consuming project.  If I can stay away from an Amy Home Study maybe I can work on this.  Who am I kidding - I have 3 of those to finish.  Let's just try not to start a new one!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving

xoxo

Another Strawberry Finished !

Next up is a Fall Weekend!

Strawberry Basket in Progress

Hi,

I didn't get a lot of needlepoint done this weekend because I was finishing up my daughter's scarf.  Now that that's done (!) I can continue on...


Here's plenty of red to choose from for the strawberries which are all french knots.  I guess this is why I have stash!

 I did manage to finish the background at least.

Hopefully tonight I  can finish this up.  I ought to work on a fall project but will have to see what jumps out at me next.  Maybe I'll go back to the little fall basket.

Have a great week!
