When A Wip Calls

Hi stitchers, thanks for all your comments.

This week the plan was to stitch on a new start only but it didn't workout that way.

My new start was Craft Room ( what I'm calling it) by Cuoree e batticuore


I'm stitching it on 16 count Aida green cloud opalescent which is not showing in the photo, but it's a light green.

Here's my start, I worked my way up to the sign at the top.


After a day or so a wip was calling me, so out came spring topiary garden.

Here's before


And more on the garden part.


Again I was going to stay with it but after a few days I moved onto treasures of the deep Sal. I stitched the June mermaid and I so want to start the beading, we will see soon.



So it looks like I can only stitch on something for a few days and I'm mostly just picking anything to stitch. I guess it's the mood I'm in.

Today Saturday I went over my DMC. I needed room and I want a master set to work from, I'm buying too many of the same color. I got all the dmc out of my projects, and went over what I had in my DMC little drawers that I use. Look what I didn't need to buy people......


The box is full and double sided and 1 and a half bags full of dmc that I have a lot of the same colors. I think I have 20 each of the skin tones. Lots of browns too. Oh my god.

The funny yet sad thing is I still need around 40 colors to make a full set. What!! Guess 123 stitch next pay day. Then I'm not buying anymore dmc unless it's not in the box or bags. Save myself same money this way.

I got a little stash that I wanted to show you.

My Needleminders by Denkai Designs at Etsy she also give me a free square one. 


I've been looking for cute, nice dragon charts and not finding much that I like until now. 
Again on Etsy at lolalottashop she has so many nice charts you have to go look but I fell in love with her dragons and had to get 2

Dragon with lilies


And Dragon on the moon


Hope to start them soon, one day, maybe lol. So cute.

That's it for me Happy Stitching and we will both see what I stitch this next week! I'm having fun so it's all good.
