It’s been a while…

 

…since my last post.  Golly, I hadn’t realized that my last post was almost a month ago. 

 

My stitching mojo has been all but non existent the last few weeks.  I did manage to finish up a Round Robin piece from the ILCS Yahoo group I am in.  The piece is Arlette’s who lives in France.  I am not sure about the designer, but her piece is stitched on 28 CT. Mint Green Cashel Linen (my fav.) using green and white DMC.  Each section is a different little sampler and is going to be a really pretty piece when completed.  Here is a snap of my section:

I also did a little stitching on my Crazy 15 Challenge and have a blurb on my Crazy 15 Challenge Blog.

TUSAL 3.04.2011

And now for my Totally Useless Stitch Along for the month of February thru March 3.. I have added quite a bit of orts, some thread bands and even a broken button (had to replace one on HunnyB's sleeve) I tossed in for good measure...

It’s been a while…

….since my last update but I have been busy stitching.  I deviated from my Challenge projects stitching a cute little needle case.  I can’t decide what name to stitch on it… whether to gift it to a friendly stitcher or keep it myself??  I love fantasy pieces with dragons, fairies, castles, wizards and have stitched several pieces along this theme…

 

This little piece is by Teresa Wentzler and was such fun to stitch.  The entire dragon is stitched using a blended needle with purples and blues.  There are also specialty stitches in white threads and beads to accent. 

 

I have posted updates of my Challenge pieces finished this last couple of weeks on my other page so check them out. 

Speaking of Frogs

Day 3’s project is the cutest little scissors case and I just love the wording…I Don’t Do Frogging….I Do Reverse Stitching…  I think I will adopt this as my theme of rippin out stitches when those little errors in counting occur.

 

Here is a snap of the two sections that will be stitched together with a ribbon threaded through scissors.  I just love the polka dot lining fabric.  It is really a neat little concept.  I would love to keep these but they will be a gift to one of my fellow stitchers.

TUSAL ~ February

Ahhh,  the TUSAL aka. Totally Useless Stitch A Long ..
Here is a snap of my TUSAL on February 3, 2011.  I have added several snips, orts, some thread bands and a string or two of fabric threads. 

Be A Witch

Today, January 30, I completed he first of my 15 projects. Project #4 ~ Be A Witch by Shepherd’s Bush is the 10th in the B-Attitudes series.  I really love them all, but being a fan of Halloween, this is one I had to have!

I have stitched this on 28 Ct. off-white Evenweave using DMC Threads.  As you can see from the above snap, I need to get a pumpkin, cat, tombstone and 2 little star buttons to embellish with.  I guess that will require a trip to my LNS.  I hope I will have a little will power because last time I was there, I found several things I must have!!

Here is a snap of the completed piece.

Moving on, I pulled out project #1 ~ Glendon Place’s Witches Wheel. 

And wouldn’t you know it, I was attacked by:

I spent 45 minutes rippin out a large section cause I was off by one stitch!  Don’t you just love it when that happens??!!#%^&@!!!
I think this piece is gonna require a lot of froggin along the way.

Another update January 27, 2011

I got back to stitching on my Challenge projects the last couple of days and have been working on the Dragon Dreams ~ Runekeeper.    Another quick snap of the chart:

And todays stitching.   I have completed the Runekeeper and The Seeker:
