Busy Week

Hi stitchy friends. 

It's been a busy week with life stuff, so not a lot of stitching, but still progress so that's good.

The Rose Of Sharon

Before

And now

New to rotation is a free weekend.

I can stitch on anything I want to on the weekends. 

I have so many that I want to stitch but all my rotation projects are big so they are not moving that fast so 2 days I get to stitch whatever, and it can still be the weeks wip, or new or anything.

So that said and with what little time I had this weekend I got out my seahorse 

Before

And now

My dad saw this and said my paint is running ha ha.

I'm not one to show stash much anymore as you get to see it when I start stitching them but I have two things I wanted to show you.

I got myself a lowery workstand, I will not be using it all the time but this week I did and it takes a little time to get used to after hand stitching. The great thing is I get to use my Q Snaps that have been sitting around doing nothing. It also doesn't take up to much room and it's a stand that I can get to the back of my stitching with, a big thing for me. Next on my list is a few Quantum Frames I want the big 100 one for my stitch in time and maybe the 60 or 70 one for the rest. One day.

Next I wanted to show you a chart I just got. I'm not a big fan of cloudsfactory charts but this one I just had to have and I want to stitch it today if I could. It's a bit pricey but... I still had to have it.

 

It's the new Epic storybook princesses.

There's two ways to stitch this, the one I'm showing and the other which has two spaces free for two more princesses to come. I will get them free as I got the full chart I'm going to stitch the spaces free one. 

Here the chart

Better at cloudsfactory. Net if you want to see, it's so cute.

So that's it this week. Happy Stitching!!!

My Stitchy Week

Hi stitchers, how was your stitchy week? Great I hope.

Here's mine 

Monday and Tuesday I put lots of DMC onto bobbins and even now I'm still finding more I have to bobbin. Sign just when you think it's over...

Wednesday I felt like a new start (stitch all the things right) so 

Home of a needleworker by Little house Needleworks.

I'm using all called for Classic colorworks thread and fabric is 16 count Mello Aida by picture this plus. I love the color of this fabric but don't think much on the Aida, it will do and because of the color I might get more in the future.

Here is what it will look like

And my little start of the house 

Thursday and Friday I stitched another new start, this one is from the world of cross stitching magazine  issue 259. It's a Seahorse, I'm not stitching the background, just the seahorse and I love her. So bright.

Stitching with called for DMC and kreinik backstitch when I get there.

Fabric is 16 count Aida wild flower opalescent by sew it all.

Here's what she will look like

And what I've done so far, love her.

Saturday and Sunday was busy with housework and friends but I still got to stitch on my rotation project Halloween Quaker.

Here is before 

And now with the big motif done, it's progress. 

Have you seen the new Christmas one, it's on the way to me.

Plan is to finish the Halloween Quaker and stitch this Christmas one next year, or as soon as the Halloween one is done.

Now if only she did a Easter one I would be jumping up and down.

That's  it for my week, Thanks for all your comments, I love each and every one. 

Happy Stitching!!!
