latest finish

I sat and stitched on my glory bee freebie yesterday and finished it just before i went to bed last night.

I learnt some new stitches in the process of doing this one, i learnt Rice stitch and Four-sided over 2 stitch, the other 2 stitches i already knew how to do

Now on to the next project which i think is going to be a San Man Originals one that Sue sent me last year.

This is the great prize i received from Debra on the ILCS group for taking part in and more or less completing my project challenge in 2006. Thanks debra they are all great and am looking forward to using the ornaments to finish off things - something i hardly ever do!

Updates on my stitching

Here is an update on gems angel that i am still hoping to get completed in time for her birthday in June.

Here it is finally finished, it was a bit of a pain to stitch but well worth it.

first finish of 2007

Now i am feeling a bit better, i have managed to get a good days worth of stitching in today and got the Just Nan freebie finished, and even if i do say so myself it looks great :-D

i will post up a pic of it tomorrow as it was too late to take a pic today.

updates on my stitching

well here at long last are some updates on what i have been stitching in the last few days. the pic below is what will become stacey's 18th birthday present in 2008, i just hope it turns out as well as she wants it too.

this is Just Nan's 2003 freebie called Italian Ice and my progress after 2 days of working on it, it is stitched on 28ct silkweaver evenweave called dusty green that someone has sent me in a past exchange.

these are the last 2 finishes of 2006, very quick ones to stitch up, these are also freebies but from about.com

I started my ornament yesterday for my group ornie SAL and did quite well on it till i realised it wasnt all lining up correctly, i had made a small mistake on one leg on the pink and had to unpick it, but i still made good progress on it and am pleased with how it is looking. I am stitching it on 28 ct evenweave from silkweaver in a colour called Dusty Green, i will try and upload a pic of it later on when the light has changed again so i cn get a decent pic of it.

I should also really make an effort to work on gems freebie angel as well, there isnt an awful lot left to do on her but its just wanting to work on her and at the min i dont want to, maybe when the kids are back in school later on in the week i can get back to her.

The pic above is what the ornament should look like when completed.

Wishing you all a Happy 2007, here's to a much better year!
