Friday Wrap-Up

Happy Friday everyone!
I hope everybody had a great week.

It has been a pretty good week for me, very busy...
...and some stitching progress.

First, I have another finish...
..."Proud Little Peacock" is all done!

I think he turned out very cute!
I did learn that trying to complete a French knot outside, when it is a bit windy...
...not a good idea.  
It took me four tries to finally get the knot to look decent.

Next, I went back to work on the foxes...
(where I left off)

(and where I am now)
I think it is coming along a quite nicely.
(Pattern is by Fox You are So Crafty on Etsy.)

My only problem with this piece is that I cut the fabric a bit too small.  I have enough room for all the stitching and for what I have planned to finish the piece, but it doesn't fit well in my hoop.  I can stitch the foxes just fine, but finishing the border is going to be a challenge.
Oh well, I will just do my best.

Then I went back to work on my "You Are my Sunshine" piece...
(where I left off)

(and where I am now)

I think it is coming along pretty well.

And lastly, a new start...
Mini Sherlock characters...

Well, that is what I've been up to...
Hope everyone has a great weekend, filled with lots of stitching!

  1. Great work this month! I've been catching up on blog reading. I love all the different Etsy shops you have discovered. I love the subversive Disney designs, I'm torn between Alice and Snow Not-so White!
    How sweet of the bird designer to make one just for you too. Her peacock is another favourite.
