Stitch From Stash January

Hi all, 

I've been stitching my wip (works in progress) mini pirate by Selena Fenech. 

Page 3 is now all stitched up so I have the 1st row all done yay!!!. I will also show you what it now looks like which is a T, lol.

So Amount Spend is $0.00

It was hard not to spend any money as heaven and earth had a sale on and there are so many charts I would love to get, Cross stitch Mags I would have love only for a chart or two and The fox collection catalogue I got in the mail, I was lucky I did not want anything this time from them. It was not easy.

On top of that I thought I would have to get more dmc for my pirate as I was running low, but went over the dmc I have in my stash and found what I needed, for now. 

Until my next post  

Happy stitching!. 

Seashell Treasures

Hi, I hope everyone had a great new year. 

Over christmas and as it's summer here, I got out a UFO (unfinished object) It's been in a draw for a long time. 

It's called Seashell Treasures by Dimensions and it was hard to pick up and stitch everyday. I have only got half way as I just could not do anymore. I hope to get it all stitched before the year is out, so you will see it again just not right now. So pic's

This is what it will look like when done

What it looks like right now

Happy stitching!!!

Well it's 4 days to the end of 2013 and while I have the time right now I would like to say a big thank you for all your comments over the year. I'm sorry if I did not get back to you so please forgive me on that.

I would also like to say thank you to all that became a follower it's great to know my blog is getting looked at by so many and liked. 

On a stitching note yes I have been stitching, but don't want to show you just yet sorry.

              Happy stitching!! and see you all in 2014.

Stitch From Stash 2014

Hi, I was looking to join a online stitching group next year and let me tell you there's a lot.

The only one that made me jump up and down so far is the one going at  http://epicstitching.blogspot.com.au

Epic Stitching by Mel is going to start Stitch from Stash and I love this idea. 

I so need to save money next year and like many of us we have more stash then we know what to do with, or even have time to stitch it all. I hate to know just how much money I did spend this year on my stitching with charts, DMC and Aida. So this so works for me. 

# Get a $25 Budget a month, it can roll over if you don't use it.

# Post and let Mel know by 28th every month

#  Gift are Exemptions which is good to know.

# Stitch only from your Stash (easy for me right now)

So If you to want to join go to Epic stitching for all the details before 2nd January 2014 .

See you all in the new year!!!

Happy stitching

Christmas

I have been stitching a page of Fairy wishes but it's slow going, I have stitched maybe half a page so far. Most of the top has been Kreinik. I don't think the photo shows it well.

For the last 2 days I've been stitching a cute little stocking It's from a old cross stitcher magazine and has a lot of fractional stitches but I love how it turned out and by getting away from fairy wishes I got my stitching bug back. Funny how that happens at times.

My mum has also been busy with her cupcakes I just had to show you.

Are they cool or what...

And what is christmas without a tree...

 So I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and I hope you all have fun over the holiday.

Been stitching the rest of page 5 of QS April Fairy and it's now all done. 

Happy stitching!!

Emerald Mermaid

Hi all, Sorry It's been a while posting, it's been busy.

I would like to take the time to say a BIG thank you to Monique from cross stitch ramblings for telling people about this blog, it was such a nice thing to do, so thank you and if you have not seen her blog yet you need to go now, right now!.

So I've been stitching a little here and there and I got Emerald Mermaid all done, yay.

Before I show you the photo's, I would like to say I've made a few changes. 

I mis counted two times and when I found out it was too late or I just did not what to go back and fix it, so I just made it mine. I don't think you can tell unless you know the chart really well. It still works and I think it still looks good. 

Another change I made was her hair, when I did the beads I did not like it, I think it was too over the top so I took most of the hair beads out and filled in with the dark brown and I like it better this way. 

So now the photos:

Just the Mermaid

With the seaweed

Hair with the beads

Hair without the beads (much better)

Total all done

So I hope you like her and I'm now onto the next, I just don't know what it will be yet. 

Happy stitching!!!
