A couple of wip updates

 Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well. I have a few ipdates to projects I have been working on and a non stitchy finish.

The first wip is an Elephant from an old True Colors leaflet. I am d oing it on 28ct Vintage Country White with called f or DMC's.

Here is last week's update.

Here is this week's update. 

This is my oldest wip and it is for my youngest son. There are a ton of color changes and I am finally getting into the rhythm into my stitching. I am hoping to finish it by the end of the year. I work on it Mon-Thurs.

This next update is about 2 weeks in between. This project was started in May 2023. It is for my middle son because he loves Star Wars.

After

Once I finish the blue glass lens, I will have a page finish. I am stitching it on 14ct black aida and 12wt Sulky threads.

My last WIP. 

I am sorry for the bad photo. I don't have a before picture but this is my progress. It is Baked Alaska by Glendon Place. I decided to do a conversion to various Threadeorx and DMC variations on 28ct off white Lugana.

Thank you so much for looking and have a Happy Labor Day weekend.

Happy Sunday

 Good Afternoon everyone,

How have you been since we last chat? Hopefully you are staying cool and have plenty of time to stitch.

I have had a couple of projects in rotation but I am going to show you a few of my finishes for 2023.

The first one is Golden Filigree by Arlene Cohen from Works by ABC. It was in the JCS 2020 ornament issue. I changed the colors and used Mo's Sale floss from my Stash and random beads. The frame was purchased from Amazon.

I made Vintage Angel by Tiny Modernist for my mom. It is from the JCS 2020 Ornament issue. The frame was purchased from the Dollar Tree.

I finally finished White Tigers from Stoney Creek. This was a learning experience. 

The last one I will show you today is called Summer from Amy Bruecken and Wildflower Stitchery. I have the other seasons to do. It is from the JCS Aug 2008 issue. I mounted it on a frame I got from the Dollar Tree. It isn't 100% straight so I need a bow to hide the flaw. Overall, I am happy with this.

I have a few more to show you buy I will save it until next time.

Thank you for the comments and for looking.

It has been a long time

 Hi everyone.

I cannot believe it has been this long since I last posted. Now that I can do it from my phone, it will be easier to keep in touch. 

We moved back home to Florida last year when my husband decided to retire.

My latest finish is Postcards of Love by Rosewood Manor. I used grey instead of black.

I finished Old Queen's Anne Lace by Nora Corbett. I did this finish for my sister's 50th birthday in July.

I can't wait to post more in the next few days.

Thanks for looking and Happy Stitching!

Mary
