Finally!



I finally finished part 1 of Deep Blue Sea. It took me four times as long to do the back stitching as to do the specialty stitches.

I'm printing out part 2 right now and part 3 came out today. Part 2 isn't very big, but it does have over 1 stitching.

So off to do some laundry and then to start part 2.

Thanks for stopping by.

TUSAL for February

Hard to believe but I have been stitching and I have added to my ort jar. The bottom part is from Chinese Garden and the top part for Deep Blue Sea. So here is my pic.

And here is my Deep Blue Sea by Chatelaine. It is stitched on 28 ct lugana that I hand dyed myself. I couldn't purchase a blue in lugana like I wanted, so, what the hey, I did it myself. I'm almost done with part one. I just need to do the backstitching and the specialty stitches.
I hope I can get it and part 2 done by the end of the month, but it will be a close thing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Valentine's Day

I did't get to post this yesterday. My DH sent these pretties to my office.
He done good!

I finished part 3 of CG. Here is a close up of it.


I finally received my kit for Deep Blue Sea (minus one fiber that will hopefully come soon) so I hope to start it this weekend. Provided real life doesn't get in my way!

This past weekend

I almost finished part 3 of CG. I just have the partial diamond eyelets and the backstitching and it is done.


March and I went to the Superbowl Sunday sale at In Stitches Sunday. I bought fabric and a grab bag.





On the far right is a little over 1/4 yard of 40 ct. WDW Parchment. In the middle is 1/4 yard 40 ct. Newcastle Purely Primative. The left is 1/4 yard 45 ct. of Florence Ivory. Yes 45 ct! It's all Glenna's fault. She is doing the cutest squirrel on 45 ct. I'm thinking of doing Quaker Christmas II by ByGone Stitches on it. Don't know when I'll start. Someday. Too much stash and not enough time!
