7 New Starts In 7 Days

Hi stitchers, how was your week? Thanks for all your comments, it was nice to hear how you stored your dmc threads. Don't forget time is ticking away for my giveaway! So put your name down.

As I hunted down all my dmc from my projects last week, I saw all the projects I have just waiting to be started. 

Got me thinking what am I waiting for? And plus they are taking up space.

So call me crazy but I thought as I can't stay on any one project right now, why not start 7 new ones.

And I had fun!!! I loved it. 

My week of new starts begins.

Sunday I got out a kit, that I'm always picking up and putting back down. Do you have that?

It's a Vervaco kit called butterfly fairy and I'm stitching with all the kit. Pale purple 14 count Aida is not bad for a kit.

Here's what it will look like

And her arm, it's a bit pale but I haven't put in the darker colors yet.

The only problem with this kit is the chart, it's the size of Jessie's dog bed, no really. It's big and I don't make copies of charts. Have to be careful with it.

Monday A chart To the beach and back, by needle bling designs, stitched on 16 count lambs wool Aida. I'm going to use a few charms I got in a stitchy box on this one too.

Tuesday was Welcome to the forest, by country cottage needle works, stitched on 18 count white Aida. I'm also stitching this different from others I've seen. I'm not going two by two down but 3 to the left and 3 to the right of the banner, I'm going to join all the grass together and I'm not stitching the borders. It will be one long picture. 

Wednesday was Wicked by Barbara Ana designs, stitched on 18 count ivory Aida. Not much tonight as I was watching tv more then stitching. Great tv night for me Wednesday's.

Thursday A Mirabilia Renaissance mermaid (she's in my mermaid bag now) stitched on 16 count Aida oceans tide by fabrics by Stephanie. Love this fabric. Photo doesn't show fabric that true, it's a little darker in spots not all one color.

Was not sure about the blue kreinik but it will work, looks better in person.

Friday was Stitching in quilt by Cuoree e batticuore, stitched 16 count Mello Aida. This one I can't wait to get back to.

And the border around the first block. So many hearts.

Saturday was ornamental joy by country cottage needleworkes. Stitched on a scrap Aida by stitches and spice way back when. 14 count I think. Again photo bad it's more gold brown with bits of pink, and it's a opal.

That was my stitchy week. 

I also got stitchy kindness in the mail this week from Kay. Thank you again.

I have plans for the light blue Aida fabric already. I'm using the pin cushion which she made me. Wow just wow. That you took the time. Thank you!!!

Plans yes I have them this week

7 new starts in 7 days part 2.

In September I must stitch on my pirate heaven and earth if I'm to get it finished this year. Maybe that's all I will stitch in September. We will see.

Happy stitching!!!
