Stitching ADD


I finally decided to work on something other than Mira's Spring Queen. Here is where I ended up. Everything below the sash is new. But that bottom part, the lighter bit, all that is off by one so I stopped before I had to start ripping it all out. }:(

Then I decided to start working on my Mystic Stitch that I haven't touched in way too long. Put about 1500 stitches into it (basically the upper right corner) then decided I was done w/that.

Now I'm working on Bunny Love. a sampler by Cross n Patch. One pic is of where I had left it before, other is after I did all the back stitching for what is done. I think this one is so cute. :) This is the biggest part so it's all downhill from here. Yay.

Happy Weds ladies!

Hey now ... some stitching!


Got myself situated to where I can stitch again, then busted my Ott lite stand. Not the light itself (which I've had for about 6 yrs now ... same bulb ... impressive IMHO) but the cheap metal pole. Right in the middle and completely clean cut. I'm seriously disappointed.

But still ... stitching. Yay! And it's only been 10 mths since I last worked on this one. :(

Stargazer all done!! And another Mira start. :)

9 hours straight of beading, but done. 21 days, start to finish. And yes, it's a record (for me). I opted to not do all the beads in the sky. I prefer for her to be a mystery as to what she is thinking/wishing/dreaming about. I really do like this one tho. She's sitting on 18" q-snaps so that's about how tall she turned out to be.

Whoot!













The new start is Mira's Spring Queen. This is about 10 hrs of work on her. I feel like I got NOTHING done. Jeez. She's being done on a 28 ct. Silkweaver Jazlyn called "Peacock". It seemed like a spring-y color.

So I was digging through a few boxes (and drawers, and bins, and storage stools, and magazine racks and baskets, etc) filled w/XS stuff looking for something new to do (heh) and have come to realize that not only do I own over 45 Mira charts and kits but I have 15 Teresa Wentzler's. Seriously. I have yet to finish the ONE TW I started 3 years ago and I have 15. Wth was I thinking???? That doesn't include all the other odds and ends I have. And don't get me started on the print-outs. Is there a 12-step program for this stuff???

Hope ya'll have a lovely weekend!!
