As I post my last stitching post of the year I am happily looking forward to new patterns, fabric and many more projects.

I wish you all a Happy New Year

must finish

I started these 2 pictures before Christmas and I am determined to finish them before I pick up any other project.

 The weather here has been all over the place sometimes bone chilling cold -48 with wind chill and then windy and +6. the fog did make some beautiful trees though

and also time to start slowly putting away the christmas decorations.

1 christmas pic done

Finished the Red Snowman just need to find a frame. The mats are done by Jill Rensel

Thanksgiving update

here in Canada it is Thanksgiving weekend and a sunny beautiful one it is.I hope this week I will finish the scales and move on up. All the gaps on the fins are for beads, there are a lot of beads on this gal. For those that are celebrating I hope you have a wonderful visit with family and friends

Sunday Oct 6

Finally I can see the tail, I was getting a little bit bogged down but it is amazing what seeing a picture can do for the mojo.

Also did some stitching on the Red Snowman. I am not to thrilled with the coverage, the instructions called for just one thread but I will stitch some with 2 threads and see what happens. Might be a whole lot of frogging in my future.

Enchanted Mermaid Week 4

well in my opinion this is not looking very fishy yet. maybe next week I just got this project from Shepherds Bush so I need to find time to stitch it.The mats were made by Jill Rensel.....so excited to get this one

Week 3 Enchanted Mermaid

The beads and krenik arrived on Friday so I think this week I will fill in the gaps.

Sometime this week I will start this one, no color changes here it is all black.

Enchanted Mermaid Week 2

So glad I finished that white chunk, my beads and krenik threads should be here later this week and it will be nice to fill in the gaps. I did not stitch a lot this week because my best friend was sick for a few days.

His dog food gave him some serious tummy problems, he was vomiting. His vet advised me to make his food for awhile and I think I will no longer use commercial dog food.At least when I make his food I know what is in it.

Enchanted Mermaid week 1

got a lot done in 1 week but there is nothing here that looks like a mermaid yet.

my future projects

I am still working on the Blue Geisha and my 3 grand daughters were just here and they picked out the pictures they would like to have.I am beginning to see what the winter stitching will be.

last day of july

I need to send her to the framers. my current project Blue Geisha

speechless

Jill Rensel has just emailed the pictures of my 2 pictures and they are amazing

March already

Jill Rensel sent some choices for 2 of my pictures. And here is my weeks worth of stitching. It looks sort of strange right now. For some reason(unknown to me) I always like to stitch the face first and then move to the right side, go all the way down to the bottom and then stitch from the bottom up.

Blue Geisha

Touching the Autumn Sky and Tigerlily have arrived at the framers and soon I will have an update as to the framing. Blue Geisha has become a I can't put it down project.

Real happy to say I can post a finish. Tigerlily is done

And now for my wip. Its is the Blue Geisha from Joan Elliott.I love her designs. Almost have her face on, I have been counting and recounting my stitches because I do not want to frog these small ones.

Usually I don't bead and backstitch until the end but she is big so I am going to do them as I go.

Nope

Not done not even a good excuse.there is only some beads to put on.spent the day pulling fabric and looking at patterns. I think I will start a geisha from Joan Elliott.

late

I usually like to update my blog on Sunday evening but I am one day late and I have a good reason for being late. I stayed up very late last night to finish Touching The Autumn Sky.

This week I will work on Tigerlily and maybe she will be finished soon.

Sunday Jan 20 2013

I had a pretty good week of stitching and I am looking forward to seeing the end. Still waiting on the beads, they are taking forever to come.

Sunaday Jan 13 2013

My week started off good and then my husband came down with that stomach virus so not a lot of stitching was done. All is well now so I can get back to stitching again.

Sunday January 6 2013

Such a pretty girl. She is stitching up nicely. I will try to get her dress on this week
