I know I've been stitching (and posting) almost every day but I have bronchitis and only really feel better sitting up. Once I try to rest lying down I feel like I'm drowning. Enough of that.
Today is House Hunt Day #2. Last night I finished the background behind the little birds in the left hand corner so they are now ready to be beaded. I did the first one yesterday - 2 1/2 hours of work. Good thing I used clear beading thread or it would have taken longer.
As you can see I don't trust my compensating so this diamond was actually stitched twice - once in yellow floss with the complete pattern and then I went back with the grey floche to put in the stitch as compensated. Yes I'm aware that the pattern in yellow is off - this was a photo of pass #1. It takes longer but it's easier to rip out the practice thread than the real thing. And it ends up being a no brainer as to whether its right or not.
Here's the beaded bird that I did yesterday- 8 to go!
Today I started the big orange flower
Then I got the call from UPS - here's what the back of my car looked like after pick up.
And here is my Apple Banner - credits to Melissa Shirley for the design, Amy Bunger for the stitch guide and Ruth Schmuff for the finishing.
The Top
Another top view
The bottom - the feet are wrapped in ribbon stars
I also got MORE finishing. This box from Enriched Stitch. My poison bottle- another Amy stitch guide. I think there's a whole series of these, but I only have one.
Side view - you can see House Hunt in the background
And two ornaments. The one on the left is from Amy's Christmas Club and the Santa in the golf cart was from my stash. (Princess and Me?) That's loose red thread on the Santa ornament - have to blow that off.
That's all I've got for now!
