A little color

I added some orange to the pumpkins and of course more black. Waiting for the 48 threads I had to order to come in to get some more color in.

Witchy Wendy

This is Sleeping Beauty which I worked on till Wednesday at my daughter's behest. There's a bit more than this done on her on the right side. She's been an UFO since we moved 2 years ago.


I've started and stashed a couple projects in the last few weeks trying to find something to hold my interest. Then I found Hannah Disney on HEAD. I started her Wednesday evening and this is how much I've done so far.
Part of her hat and the pumpkin hat a little bit of blue background. I had to order an additional 48 flosses to finish her.

This is one of those Secret Needle Night kits from www.secretneedlenight.com which I bought off of ebay. It's suppose to have May Flowers in Red on it but I don't like to limit when I can display my stuff. I wanted to go around it in red instead but didn't have enough thread so I moved my bee onto the flower and left off other bee and hive. It has velvet for the leaves and a thread that reminds me of sparkly fun fur in the middle with some seed beads to boot. It's perfect!


This is one I did a while ago, just reframed it to match Daisy Chain.


Winter Moon by Shepherd's Bush. Talk about a lesson learned with this one. I started it quite a few years back, lost the beads and the buttons. Started it way to far down on the fabric and ran out of room so I left off the vine at the bottom and all the beads except for what got put on when I started at the top by the moon.


Daisy Chain all framed up and pretty.


The Maiden from Heaven and Earth Designs. It's a girl with a pink dragon, at least one day it will be.

Card Making

What a blast. I made three cards and got a stamp for the $12 it cost to go to the class. I think there is at least 2 classes next month and then in October there is a retreat I won't be going to. I figure I have to have equipment to take before I can go.

There's a building on fire between the class and home. I saw the smoke on my way to class and called 911. You have to press 0 if it's an emergency. That just blew my mind. It's 3 hours later and the road is still closed and the fire still burning.

I worked on my new cross stitch chart today. No pic tonight because I've got a few more hours of stitching on it before I head to bed. Will post one in the morning.

Finished!

I'm finished with my daisy chain elephant and am happy dancing away. She was a UFO from before I moved to Idaho over 2 years ago. Tomorrow I'm starting a new kit from Dimensions called North American Beauties and will try to post a pic of the kit. I got my paper trimmer today from Amazon.com and tomorrow will be my card making class. I'm pretty excited over it. Can't wait!

A backstitching we will go

As of 2:36am I'm all done stitching on my Daisy Chain and am left with the backstitching. I love blackwork so back stitching should be done today I hope. I was thinking, I have Andi's school thing this morning and card class tonight but just remembered that the card class is tomorrow. I gotta run am already late picking up the other two girls.

Humphrey's Corner

I love these elephants. I'm hoping to finish Daisy Chain today. I should at least get everything but the back stitching done. Well everything but the border that goes around them which I skip. I'm trying to just work on one project till I finish it so I hopefully finish a few.
