sleepy shuffle

Having a semi late night happy dance here!  I just finished Girasole by AAN.  I stitched it on 32ct Kauri lugana by Kiwi Illusions, with DMC 972 and 730. I also used beads instead of French knots... I used mill hill 02105 for the yellow beads and 03014 for the green.

It is almost midnight here and it has been a long day, so I'm off to bed!

Till next time... happy stitching!

spring is blooming...

Just a quick post (as usual) on some stitching updates...and a little update from our garden... our lily of the valley are blooming and here is my first pick...  I made two smaller bouquets from this bunch pictured, one to sit here by my computer and one to sit by my stitching spot, so that no matter where I am I can see them and enjoy them, and their lovely fragrance! 

Here is my sunflower by AAN... almost done the stitching... 2 1/2 petals to go and then the beads before a happy dance.

Also here is my Humbolt Coast... I managed to get a good bit of stitching in on Sunday... I love watching this one come to life!

another week, another post...

Where does the time go to?? It just seems to be flying over here! 

Here is my latest update of my sunflowers.... I had to frog the one yellow petal as I totally stitched it in the wrong spot... and then I ran out of yellow floss except for one really long strand... so I continued with the green till I had a chance to go to Michael's to pick up some more...

Not the greatest of photos, I did take it with my phone, but it seems to take better pictures outside than inside... so please excuse the quality...

Sunday was also Humbolt Coast stitching time, and I managed to get lots done... another page down (okay another small one, but like last time, a page is a page)...

Here is my progress with this one... I would really like to keep stitching on this, but I'll be a good girl and go back to my sunflowers...

 

 

 

I'm really enjoying watching this come to life... I definitely see another Silver Lining chart in my future... I have a ton in my stash, but this is the first one ever that I have stitched!

 

Till next time... as always,  happy stitching!!!



catching up...

I'm not very creative with my post titles, but each time I come to post, my brain goes totally blank as to what to use as a title...

Oh well... you're here to see the stitching not the titles...

I finally managed to sit down and work on Humbolt Coast this Sunday... it was great to get back to it.  I managed to finish off another page... a small one... but a page nonetheless... I can now say I have 4 pages done! LOL!!!

Here is my progress... I managed to finally get some beach/sand going so the wave has something to crash onto...

I also managed to make some more progress on Girasole... I think I'll see how far I get on it this week, and then pick something else next week... I really would like to finally finish both Fairy Moon and the Last Supper but they really are not calling my name at the moment...

I digress... here is my progress of my sunflower...

That's it for now...

Till next time... happy stitching!

a new month

Wow, I can't believe it's May already! Where did April go???

I haven't been stitching very much, and definitely no stitching on the weekends, we have been busy... so no Humbolt Coast progress at all... or progress on any of my other wips..

I sort of lost my stitching mojo after my holidays and being sick - I managed to catch a cold on our last day of holidays... so to rectify things I decided to start a new project... I picked AAN Girasole. A lovely sunflower that just feels so springy... 

Here is my progress from the last few weeks...

I'm stitching it on 32ct Kauri lugana by Kiwi Illusions (click here to see the fabric) using dmc 927 and 730. I changed the green as I didn't like the green called for. I prefer the darker more olive shades of green...

That's it for now... Till next time happy stitching
