Work Stoppage

 Hi there,

I'm back to the little cat and after finishing the flower on the left, this morning I moved to the next flower  where I have now broken my needle in the back of the center.  Of course all my beading tools are in Florida so I will be at the hardware store looking for wire cutters this afternoon.  This has happened to me before with these smaller needles so I guess I need another bead kit in my stash!

Front of the purple flower - I was cruising until I wasn't!

There's the pesky needle! The eye is broken and snagged.  YUK

Hope to get back to it this afternoon!

Hi there,

I'm so glad I finished this.  I will have it framed and then who knows?  Maybe I will do another cross stitch project someday😍

Off to start Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon!

Finished my summer scarf project !

I just finished my "summer" scarf!  I try and knit a scarf every summer and hopefully I'll get to keep this one.  I really enjoyed knitting it and look forward to using it now that it's 40 degrees in the morning.

I've already picked out next year's scarf - I have 2 skeins of dark red pashmina wool that I want to make into a cable scarf - but that's next summer!!

 

I should be able to finish up the cross stitch fairy initial this week and then back to needlepoint (the thread is on the way!)

While waiting on Thread...I turned to CROSS STITCH!

 I am trying to work with the new blog format which is a challenge but I'm going to try.  

I'm waiting for more thread for my little cat and decided to try and finish something (anything).  I have ONE cross stitch project and here she is.  I bought this for my daughter Molly (officially Margaret now Margot- at least it's still an M) and once the wings are done there's backstitching and beading before finishing.  Not sure I like the quality of the photo though - will need to work on that!

Have a happy and safe week!
