Yippie

My Needleroll has made it to my exchange partner. Glad you like it Kate! And in record time too. Got to love the post office. They said 7-10 days... and they did it in less. About 6 if you count a Sunday. I think.



So here is a picture of the needleroll. No more needing to hide it.

In other, non stitchy news... I went indoor rock climbing yesterday... bouldering to be exact, and wowza do I feel it today. But, so much fun!

Edit: Details about Needleroll.

I used SNC Egyptian Nights floss. Fabric was just plain white 25 ct. And the chart was a freebie I found on-line. 'Victoria' on cross-stitch directory.

final Olympic update

I did make my goal of a gold. Here is my Tranquility Mystery Sampler with two more pages added.

Yes, I have a lot more to do. And yes this is the mystery from 2007. But, such is life. It is just not much of a mystery now. heh. Guess I should be calling it the Tranquility not-so-Mystery Sampler. Sorry the picture is so dark, but the skies here are very grey and there is little hope of that changing anytime soon.

olympic stitching update

I have made a medal or two!

Here is my bronze medal finish. Where my heart blooms.

And here is my silver medal finish... since it is for an exchange... it is hidding. *grin* Can you see it peaking out behing that vase? I will show a full picture after I send it off and my exchange partner gets it.

Now to work on my gold medal... and that may be a bit more difficult as I have been sent two models to work on. And I should be getting those done as well. We will see if I can make an amazing sprint to the finish and get my gold though. And my models as well.
