A Mix

Hi stitchers, 

I needed a new start on Monday so got out my fiberlicious treasures of the deep Sal that I went into at the start of the year. It was pricey so thought I better start it soon. 

I got the fiberlicious fabric and the beads too. I ended up not useing the fabric because of some of the dmc colors.

So I'm stitching treasures of the deep Sal on 16 count Aida colour cascade fabrics called sweet child of mine. I think I'm going to get more of it later, love the colour.

Not much stitched on it but I got a start. The blue bit is a little tail of March mermaid.

Next I got out moon sweet moon and did a little on the moon.

Here is before

And now not that you can really see any progress but it's there.

Next I got out my monthly word stitched in weeks dye works foliage. I'm thinking I might add a snowflake charm just above the u as its cold in July it's our winter.

And last I stitched my Lizzie Kate holiday spirit word

I love how it is turning out. I have 5 words to go.

I was brave and went to the dentist, now I'm not in any pain before going or now but after a very hard time doing a X-ray and being told she could give me a temporary fix but I would be in pain later on and have to come back for the next thing which would be a lot of money and me having to go back. I could not get out of there faster if I tried. So looks like later I'm going to get sedated hopefully when I call the dental hospital who took out my wisdom teeth. I can get it out totally which will be less stressful for me and save me a lot of money and hopefully never see a dentist again for years to come. I was so stressed that it took me 4 days to carm down. I'm still not in any pain and no I did not let the dentist give me the temporary fix. So I will see what happens, it's right at the back so it's not that bad.

Back to stitching 

Today I'm thinking of just picking a project and working on it until finished or I'm bored. I think I'm done with my rotation for a while. I don't know maybe I will just leave it all open and say I will stitch on what I want until I what. I keep going back to the wips in it after all.

Thank you for all your nice comments on my finish in my last post, it was a fun stitch when I got the big scissors done. I would hate to be the little people in the little houses with a big lady with scissors running around, don't think they would leave the house. Ha ha 

I finding out I have a few charts with scissors in them, I don't know why.

Untill next week and who knows what I will stitch, I need to stop making plans really.

 Happy stitching!!

Lots Of Stitching, Lots To Show

Hi stitchers, thank you for all your really nice comments. 

As per my rotation it's words week, but I have 3 extra projects to show and 2 more little finishes yay me.

Let's get started

My monthly one, I used weeks dye works harvest. It's very Autumn, just want I wanted.

Sorry for the shadow, I'm lazy and did not take a better one.

Lizzie Kate Holiday spirit word. I know I said all white was going gray but sometimes you need white.

I changed the white under stocking to gray too.

Lizzie Kate 3 little words 

Now for the extra 3 I got to stitch this week

ABC Stitch by Jardin Prive 

Before

And now, I stitched from the tree up. 

I was not really feeling this one, I love it but... so I changed.

Little house needleworks the home of a needleworker 2 is finished.

I did not stitch the top and bottom borders or the swirl thing. I got to where I stoped and thought I like this how it is. Even asked another and they said the same.

Here is a pic of it in full again

Before

And now finished 

I love it.

Sunday night I wanted to stitch but it had to be small. 

So in my stash I had a chart called stitching things 2 by homespun elegance.

So for photo it's in plastic 

I started putting dmc and the strawberry was brown no way, no thanks so I choose my own colors. 

Not like me to change colors on a chart but I had fun and love how it turned out. Yes it's a finish.

The only called for was the scissors dmc 3031, I was thinking of changing it to gold but I like it how it is. So bobbin brown is classic colorworks cocoa bean, the blue, purple is from my purple stitchy box silk n colors grape soda as are the buttons the strawberry, the green is week dye works holly and red is classic colorworks razzleberry the white bits ecru dmc and the needle dmc 535.

It's not as dark as the photo shows.

I'm going to use purple backing fabric the the lace both from the purple stitchy box to finish it. 

Maybe a pillow. 

That's it, until next week happy stitching!!!

Words Week

Hi stitchers, thanks for all your comments.

Words week is back around with my rotation. It was hard. I think I'm over stitching words but if I stop my goal, they will just sit for years in a drawer not getting stitched. So I pushed myself, it helps that I'm doing them for the smalls sal.

So 3 little words by Lizzie Kate part 2

My monthly one. I used Weeks Dye Works Celebration. It's Easter, I thought the colors were right. I want to get a Easter charm or button.

My next Holiday Spirit by Lizzie Kate. All the white will now be DMC 318. I think it will work.

Still have the stocking one to fix. 

This week I've also been putting dmc floss on bobbins, I have a lot. I think I will be doing it this week too.

I thought I would also show a photo of Jessie, its be awhile since the last one.

I'm getting things in the mail that I brought and I want to stitch them all. 

We will see what happens this week. Happy Stitching!

Words and More

Hi stitchers

It's time for my stitchy words week in my loose rotation. I say loose because it changes per month but a few things stay the same.

Lot of stitching to show.

A new start with Lizzie Kate 3 little words. Stitching them all with dmc, on fabric 16 count Aida stone by sew it all.

My month stitched with weeks dye works bethlehem. I love the color combo in this.

Lizzie Kate Holiday Spirit charms get put on at end. I'm also going to play with colors as white is not good with this fabric. Might use grey.

Next I had a travel project this week, let it snow. Mum got her hair done and I had to wait so why not take cross stitch and get a drink in a cafe. My first time stitching this way. I got a few looks but no one asked what I was doing. I have another day that let it snow will travel with me this month see how it goes.

Here is before 

And now

The last one is a new start, a gift for my sister at Easter. Blue Chick.

I'm stitching the back too. Not much blue in the front. Most of the white holes are for beads.

I really like stitching on this one.

So that's my week of stitching, until next time happy stitching everyone!!!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2018 Stitchers,

I'm off to a good stitchy year with 2 small finishes.

First before the new year I was still stitching on abc stitch so here it is now.

On 1st January I got my Lizzie Kate word stitched

And with both

This morning I stitched my monthly word, just have to now make it up.

The thread is weeks dye works jealousy and I added a love heart charm.

So now I have 3 and half days to stitch something not planed. I'm thinking Let it snow by Barbara Ana designs. I started it in my 25 days of cross stitch and now I want to try and stitch on my many Wips that I started. On the weekends in January I plan to stitch my mini pirate.

Untill next time. Happy Stitching!!!

Day 14 - A Christmas One

Hi stitchers, 

I got most of today to stitch so I started and finished my 1st block. Yay me

Day 14 was Lizzie Kate holiday spirit series and I started and finished holly.

I'm stitching all of them but 3 across. It will be different from everyone else that has stitched this. I also did not want it long if I could help it.

Fabric 16 count Iced Coffee by sew it all

Charms will go on at the end and I will see about a border when the words are done.
