Moving on to Kit 4

 Yesterday I finished the earrings on Kit 3 and decided to start right in on Kit 4.  It's just 2 sections- the peach triangle and the lower red section.  The peach section will go pretty fast because that's more Jessicas (which I just practiced on the earrings) and it's a lull before the red section.


The broach is Peyote beading which I have never done, but I have now watched 10 videos on You Tube so I am confident that I can try it without too much trepidation.  Then those curly things are packed chain stitch which yes I can do!






Here's the closeup- we are entering the land of Jessicas here


I have found that leaving your project out greatly enhances the time working on it!

Closing in on Completing Kit #3


I've now finished the left stripe and am working on the white ruffle - the edge is detached buttonhole using the same thread as I used outlining the green squares in the big section.




 Here's a close up - I love the stripe- it went so fast after the big section!



I am going to try and finish this section this weekend and then move on to Kit#4

Continuing On With the Tudor Project

 Here are the latest photos from Kit 3.  I am hoping that this section of Kit 3 is the most intense because it sure was complicated!  There were 4 steps which didn't scare me at first because of course it's an Amy project and I've been there before.


This is steps one and two and the beginning of step 3




Here's a photo of steps 1-3 completed - it finally looks like something






The last photo is step 4 with the green sections outlined in back stitch.






Moving on to the section on the left today - when this kit is done I am halfway!
