3 new starts into 1 big finish

Hi stitchers,

I have never stitched a snowman. I have never wanted to, I don't get any snow. Most snowman also have something to do with Christmas but my Christmas is in summer and hot.

So why did I have to stitch 3? Maybe it was the colors.

I'm now over stitching snowman and also beading, so much beading.

3 Jim shore, mill hill kits 

Pinecone snowman 

Snowy owl snowman 

Evergreen snowman 

Fabric is 14 ct Aida snowfall opalescent by sew it all.

Also in November I stitched a little on

Moon sweet moon

Before

Now

And Storykeep seasons

Before

And now, it gone really dark and I don't know it I like it. Not much in the way of how the girl is to look.

That's it. 

Now to get ready for my 25 days of cross stitching. 

Happy stitching!!

Happy Halloween

Hi stitchers 

Thanks for all your comments on Zenia.

My iPad is playing up and I need to get a new one, so I will not be posting as much. It's what I use to write my blog.

Until next time, happy stitching!!

Page Finished Yay!

Hi stitchers

Hope your weekend went great.

Yes a page finished and started on page 2. I can not see her in the chart so hope it all works out.

Here is seasons before

And now

It looks like a water painting to me, what do you think?

I know in my last post I said this week I was stitching Wanda's Witchery but... I got my fabric for the pixies and I really want to start one so that's what I'm doing this week.

See Friday what pixie I'm stitching. 

You will still see the Witchery in October still.

Thanks for your comments, I love to hear from you.

Happy Stitching!!

Seasons

Hi stitchers,

Not much stitching this weekend as I went out with friends for my birthday that's this Thursday 5th.

Here is before

And now

Next weekend I hope to finish the page.

Lots of new starts I hope to do in October, maybe a finish or two as well. Same of my new starts are small.

Until Friday happy stitching!!!

Fabric

Hi stitchers

Sorry I did not post last week, it got very busy. I did not stitch for 3/4 days.

I did a lot on seasons that weekend. 

Last week I had planed to start one of the pixies but the fabric I got was way to blue. 

I'm after a mid, silver grey and I feel I'm goldilocks. I'm finding it too light, too dark. Too blue, green or brown, it has mix colors. All I want is a nice mid grey that looks grey. On 16 count Aida. 

So hard to find. I think I've found it but now have to wait until October. Fingers crossed.

So last week as it was busy and I could not do my plan stitch I just kept stitching seasons when I could. 

So here is before

And now

Close to a page finish.

I have a question for you all, what is the longest time you have had to wait for fabric?

I ordered fabric from a place I will not name on 3/4th August and I still don't have it. I have not even had a email to say it's on the way which I do not like. 

I was watching flosstube and a lady said that this place just had a sale to wait 8 weeks but I ordered before the sale. I'm not happy.

The longest I've had to wait before this was 3 weeks and they let me know that it's in the mail on the way to me. 

I'm going to wait until October before emailing them but I will not be buying from them again. If they emailed me on what's going on, ok, I would feel better, but they are not and it just puts me off. Sad too as I liked a few fabrics they had.

I tell you between not finding the right fabric for my pixies and a fabric order that's taking too long to get here, I think I will stay with the places I know and trust. Or try too anyway.

Happy Stitching!

Seasons

Hi stitchers

Thanks for your comments on my posts, they are so nice and I love reading them. 

Over the weekend I stitched Storykeep Seasons Spring, my gift stitch.

Here's a recap on what it will look like

Here it is now, 

I stitched all the gray, green at the bottom corner and a little of the cream/white, page 1.

Not bad for a project I couldn't get into stitching until now. 

This week I will be stitching The Fairy and the Dove. 

I will post Friday. Happy Stitching!!!

Story Keep Seasons Spring

Hi, I want to post more this year if I can. 

With family and friends popping in and out not much stitching got done but still it's a start on the story keep seasons. A lot of off white in this page hope you can see it in the photo.

  

Now on to The Rose Of Sharon. I  made a deal with myself that I was not to stitch anything but the 3 gifts until they are done, but right now I so want to start Treasure Hunt Bookshelf it's hard not to get it out. 

Until next time Happy Stitching!!!

What's stitching 2015

Opps I did write this post 27th Dec but it's from a draft so sorry it's came up with 4 days ago.

Hi, I hope you all had a great Christmas.

First I would like to say a big thank you to all of you that have left me a comment or become a follower this year. I might not reply to you but I love all your feedback to my stitching. I hope you will leave me many more in 2015.

So what's on for 2015?

I have 3 charts that must be stitched in 2015. 

They are gifts but I will still get to show you as I stitch them because they don't look at my blog. 

Over Christmas I stitched on all 3 so here they are:

The Rose Of Sharon

Here is what she looks like as of today

Sleep Time (New Start)

And So far

Story keep Seasons Spring

So Far (New Start) 

I also hope to get the PR Sal all stitched up in 2015

 

This is what it looks like so far

Now as you know I'm not doing the stitch from stash sal in 2015 but I did want to join a sal, something fun and easy and so for 2015 I'm doing

TUSAL by itsdaffycat@blogspot.com.au

Just put your cut off thread in a vase or jar and take a photo by the date every month.

My photo's will also have angels or fairies I have around the house it's where I got my blog name from. So I hope you all don't mind if I post a vase of thread every month, after I post the thread will go into the bin and I start again. I just have to remember not to put them in the bin before the photo. 

So that's the plan for 2015 and everything else I stitch or start is a bonus. 

Happy stitching!! And see you all in the new year.
