As promised, a STITCHING UPDATE....
I did take a little time away from stitching, due to the new puppy, but I found I really missed it and my stress level shot threw the roof! (Stitching really helps me de-stress.)
So, up first, a finish...
My April fairy is all done!
(I did start the May fairy, just haven't gotten a picture of her yet.)
I also started my April magazine project...
"Sweet Heart"... by Emma Congdon
Issue 301 of Cross Stitcher magazine
I am enjoying stitching this piece, but I found my fabric (which I dyed using tea) was starting to turn a different color. It must be due to the oils in my hands, so I have to wear gloves when I work on this piece.
And, that is where I stopped stitching for a bit...
Mario's Easter Basket...
This piece got me back to stitching...
I loved the bright colors and it was a lot of fun to work on.
(I actually finished it in five days.)
The piece was designed by CapesAndCraft on Etsy.
From there, I moved on to a mermaid, designed by Durene Jones...
Very glad to have the tail finished, as it was a lot of work...
...definitely looking forward to putting in some more stitches.
I pulled out my Dragon Age: Inquisition characters and finished up one more...
(Three down, I believe 10 to go...)
And lastly, I started working on a cute, little geisha girl...
I am hoping to have her finished this weekend.
I absolutely love her and her bright colors! (Something about bright colors lately, I can't seem to resist.)
Piece designed by iamnotadoll on Etsy.
Well, that is what I've been up...
...lots of fun projects and I am hoping to pull out some more WIPs (maybe even finish a few).
Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Pretty little crosses Carrie! Your kokeshi doll is already looking adorable and the mermaid would fit perfectly with the UTS SAL I am working on, which is also designed by Durene :)
