tusal, wips and another happy dance...

I'm a bit late in posting my tusal... I was supposed to post this on Thursday but didn't get the chance till now.

Here is my ort jar for January... quite full...


 I managed to get lots and lots of stitching time in. I  started two new projects, had three happy dances and made progress on my wips too. I was quite surprised myself at how much thread was in there... it is neat to look at the layers and think of the projects they came from!  the bottom reds and greens from the cardinal sampler, the oranges from the autumn patchwork, all the greys from winter blackwork, then greens and whites from humbolt coast, the reds and sparklies from Poppy and what you can't see is the purples and gold from my tulips...

It will be interesting to see what February brings!

next up my happy dance and newest wip...

I managed to finish Poppy by Nora Corbett last Sunday (the 26) but am just posting her here now... I'm sure many of you have already seen her on facebook, but here she is again, as I just love her!


She is stitched with all the recommended colours on Sudden Storm 28ct jazlyn by silkweaver.  It's going to be tough to pick which Mira/Nora Corbertt pattern to stitch next, as I love so many... I do love the pixes as they are so much faster to stitch up then the big ladies, but those ladies are soo beautiful and so many are calling my name! Both pixies and ladies!

Last but not least my newest wip... I decided to jump in and start the tulip SAL I posted about in my last post.  I am stitching it over one... something I haven't done in a while, on 28ct pearl linen using the following threads:  GAST simply shaker harvest basket and baby spinach, crescent colours sugared violets, Nina's threads in eggplant and dmc 3790


I actually got a bit farther than this, as I had the word tulipan written in the centre all finished as well, but since I changed the writing from the original pattern I miss counted an it ended up being off centred so I had to take it out and will have to redo it next time...

Next up in the rotation will be humbolt coast tomorrow, and then blackbird designs midnight watch for next week's stitching time.

That's all for now... so till next time happy stitching!

Poppy is just gorgeous!!!! She is on my to-do list for sure this year! Love the colours you have chosen for Tulipan. I'm thinking of doing it in purples too.
