Finished!

I have finished Little Snowy Green Cottage by Nora Corbett.  It is stitched on 32ct Sea Spray which is a beautiful blue but we had such dreary weather on the day I took the photo you can't really tell. Below is a close up to show you the Krienek and beading.  Lots of sparkle and bling on this piece.

Next are 4 model ornaments I finished up on Thursday.  I think that finishing requires more patience than stitching because it is done in steps.  I like to finish lots of things in the same day because I already have everything out.  I dont' really have an area where I can leave everything out so I haul it all out and then have to clean it all up.  Very time consuming but I am happy with the final results.

Lots going on here but I don't have enough time tonight to get into it.  I will try to post in the next couple of days to give you an update.  I want to thank all of my followers and readers for hanging in there.  I truly appreciate all of your comments.  It makes my day when you share what you are thinking and I love the fact that you take the time to read my blog.  Happy Stitching!

A finish, A WIP and an Adventure

My most recent finish is BBD Anniversary House A Wish for Thee.  I was able to finish it up on Saturday.  I spent lots of time frogging on this piece.  See those windows, I change the color 4 times.  My husband thought I was nuts but I really wasn't happy with the original color and every other color just wasn't working until I used this one GAST Roasted Marshmallow.  It allows you to see the windows without having them pop out at you.  Anyways, it's done and at the framers.

My newest WIP which already has progress since this pic is Mirabilia Little Snowy Blue Church which is a model for ABC Stitch Therapy.  I have now done all of the stitching and have beads to add.  Yup that is all Kreinik braid.  Not bad but not great either.  I will post a pic once I add the beads.  Next model, New England Winter by By The Bay.  It is coming along quickly, I started it last night and am very happy with the progess. 

Now onto the adventure,  I am heading to Celebration of Needlework this weekend in NH.  I am so fortunate that it is just a drive to get there.  They have just annouced a second show in St. Louis MO in September so for all of you who can't make it to NH you will now have a second option.

I will post pics of classes I am taking and events from the show.  Have a great weekend and Happy Stitching!!
