Happy Tuesday to everyone! I had class measure night so alas no stitching. But you can see I made a little bit of progress on do by Garden over the weekend. My goal measure week was to finish two rows - the row with the goldfish and the row underneath (the color and the hearts). I was able to end up both which I am pleased with. This week I would desire to get the next row done - it's a big row desire the goldfish row so I think one is plenty to focus on. This row has the birth go out in it so you'll probably be treated to more of my creative "covering up" techniques. I am happy to see develop being made on this piece and am enjoying stitching on it again. I am finding that by setting weekly goals for myself. I be to be a little more organized and able to get things done. I am doing this with other things too not just stitching. Eric spent all pass editing our photos from the last couple of trips we've taken. He is almost through the Philadelphia photos now so any day now I should be able to share. I'm starting to be towards the end of the year and the pieces I would desire to work on. As I mentioned in my last affix. I am wanting to finish up my set of the Shepherd's furnish ornaments this year. measure year my big Christmas project was our Christmas stockings so this year I be to finish up those ornaments and then end them into a wall hanging. Next year. I evaluate that I am going to cerebrate on the Marbek Nativity. You may remember that earlier in the year I purchased Sapphire fabric from for this piece. Here's a photo of the piece.
I do plan to finish it as shown. I also will need to get started soon on my (Teresa Wentzler) for Eric for Christmas this year. But while I was rifling through my lay aside. I came across a piece I've never shown you.
This is Teeny Witch from Cross-Stitch & Needlework Magazine. She's been on my WIP list over there on my sidebar since I put that up there. But. I don't think I've ever mentioned her. This is a Mary Engelbreit design and when I saw this pattern in the magazine measure year. I immediately started stitching on her. My intention was to make her into a sweetbag for my Halloween Sweetbag exchange on Legacy. But. I overestimated how quickly I could get her done. So when it came down to decision measure. I abandoned this piece and went with a simpler choice. I haven't picked her up since then but I just like the piece and really want to end her. I'm stitching with DMC on 32ct Poltergeist by Silkweaver. There are a ton of color changes in this conjoin and a ton of fractional stitches which is why it was taking me so desire. I'd love to have her finished for this Halloween.
One of my goals for September is to read three books. I am a third of the way there as I finished yesterday. What a fabulous book! Next up is for my book club at the end of the month. I am looking send to it as it looks desire a really good read. go to Rivendell: Still in the Bonfire Glade. (be Miles Walked: 77.5)
Your do by Garden looks so beautiful and I like the colors in that too... I undergo done the Mar Bek Nativity and I finished exploit last year in October of 2006. The pattern itself is not the beat and you will discover that as you are stitching. If you be to use the regular yellow DMC go instead of the color Krenik go than go ahead and use that create the origianl designer started to use yellow go for the third pattern where that color is at and she ran out of yellow go so she switched it over to Yellow Krenik Metallic Thread. Also too.. the center conjoin.. the two angels up at the top.. when you put the two patterns together for the 3rd panel.. they don't match up so gratify be careful when you start those two angels that is in the 3d adorn. My blog is:lindakscreativityworks blogspot com and I have exploit on my communicate. If you need any help with your Nativity and believe me you probably ordain.. my email communicate is:walldrugssouthdakota@yahoo com
Hi Michelle,Firstly I have to say how lovely your baby sampler is looking. It's fun to see what's coming next each time I construe your communicate. Very pretty colours too. I construe your affix about B - for books. Oh yes! You've very eloquently expressed how I feel and react to my books too. I too like the physical aspect of books as come up as the words between the covers. I really do be to adjudicate a book at least initially by it's cover. Ultimately it's the story and the writing that keep me reading but a beautiful adjoin is icing on the cover. I don't accept in lending library's either. That Just Nan Xmas pyramid is incredible!! What a treasure that'll be when it's done. And the Marbek Nativity.. what can I say?I evaluate a lot of people undergo been slow blogging over the summer months.
