Always stitching

I haven’t posted much over the summer…about once a month.  I’ve certainly been stitching though.  I’ve finished 3 Christmas presents and started a fourth.   I did a little blackwork design of a lobster.  I printed a picture of a lobster and used graph paper to get the basic outlines going.  I have PCStitch so I [...]

Been stitching :)

I’ve been busy stitching since I finished Mystique.  While I was in Kingston, ON for EAC Seminar I bought a kit for Bargello Jewells (pattern, materials and canvas) from Northern Pine Designs – Linda Lachance.  I love the colours.  It was the first time I did a beaded bezel and I don’t think it’s perfect [...]

Fairy Grandmother FINISHED

Fairy Grandmother 19 Oct 2008

I started working on Lavendar & Lace “Fairy Grandmother” in early July and finished on 19 Oct 08.  My mother’s birthday is in November so I finished a good month ahead of time.  Now I have to get it framed.  Now I can work on something just for me.  I have [...]

What the BoInk am I up to?

I’ve gotten two of the three parts stitched.  I am going to stitch the border as I go to make sure I don’t count wrong.  Here is my progress so far:

I’ve been doing some work on Christmas Mystery V as well. I don’t work on one part until it’s done, I jump around and work [...]

More Stash

I was working on Christmas Mystery V and realized that I had not made the border wide enough for the contents.   Grrrr.  Now I know that silk fibres are easier to frog than cotton.  I used my trusty seam ripper and took out the right hand side of the border.  I think that I will do the contents before closing the border back up. 
I came [...]

Christmas Mystery V

Nothing like coming home to find goodies in the mail.  I got my fibre pack from European Crossstich Company today.  I wasn’t expecting it until the end of the month.  I’m going to start Christmas Mystery V tonight.  I’ll pick Heirloom Christmas Sampler back up on Friday night and probably keep working on it for the [...]

Heirloom Christmas Sampler Update..among other things

I’ve signed up for Christmas Mystery V and have ordered both the kit (threads, metallics and beads) from European Crosstitch Company and the fabric from Silkweaver.  

Hopefully the threads and fabric work.  The down side of it is that the threads won’t get here until later in January.  Oh well, something the look forward to.
