Greetings to All
Last week this was just a little blob on my fabric.It is stitching up pretty fast and this week I will add the boots and his arms and maybe some of his head. For some strange reason I always leave the face till last.

to be continued

Nov10

I surprised myself on this piece, all the stitches are done , just the beading is left and I have to wait for the beads to arrive.

And now onto some winter scenes. I have started the Snow Angels from Mirabilia. The first one I am stitching is the boy.

This Week

It has been a great week with a few surprises. I had sent 2 of my pictures to Jill Rensel for framing and she sent me the pictures of the finished pieces. Needless to say they are beautiful.

A Mirabilia Christmas Tree and the garland is awesome.

Isabella's Garden  and aren't those bubbles cute and an update on the hockey logo

My Grandkids were here for 10 days and they keep me busy. My Grandson's ball team were silver metal winners in the 2014 Alberta Provincials.

The kids like to go fishing when they are here but they have never been lucky until this year.

Have a wonderful week and I will be here again next week

Hot Summer

wow it has been unusally hot here this summer and my stitching has been suffering. I did work on 2 pieces though.

The bottom piece is a hockey logo that I am making for my Grandson and it has been sitting around for way to long so it is going to get done now.
I enjoy reading your comments so please let me know you have been here.

i have missed my blog

darn facebook has made it to easy but I have missed my blog.
So here is an update.top picture is my Baby's Breath, gone completly huge this year

my current project is called Man and Wife. I just think it is so cute.

and this mermaid is mostly beading left to do but it is heavy and I find it just to hot to work on right now.

It's been awhile

I have a few pictures to share with you.
I was so excited when I received an email from Jill Rensel Studios. Here is what she sent

and here is another one

of course I will keep you posted when I get the final email.
and maybe I will soon see the end of this mermaid, a lot of beading now and she is getting heavy

I will be back soon

Decorating?

Most of you have probably put your Christmas Tree away by now, but I am still decorating one.

and I also put a few stitches on my mermaid

I woke up this morning to some very cold temps. It was -50C with the wind chill here. It was a painful day to be outside.

Goodybye 2013

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.
