A finish!!! A finish!!!!

Mary Margaret is finished!  Wooo!  Half the girls are done now. heh.

Here she was before.

Here she is finished.

Oh, nice shadow there.  Oops.

I am happy to have another finish this year.  They have been so few. I added some back-stitching to this one.  I had to put some on the bottom of the pear to help is stand out on the ground.  Other than that and a few counting mistakes... she is good to go.


Next up will me Morning Glory by Drawn Thread.  It will be fun to play around with some fancy stitches.

Just a little more

First I bought I new calendar for my stitching next year.  I kinda wanna see how often I am stitching.  This year has been so low with finishes I kinda wonder where my time is going. heh.

Here it is.

I think it will be nice to use.  We will see how that goes.

I worked on Mary Margaret this round.  Here she was before.

Here she is now.  A nice chunk done on her.  Next time I will work on the long dark skirt.  I may even get a finish next time she is up.  That would be exciting.

I will be back to Forgiveness next.  Oh, how I want this one finished.

Trying to a head in my stitching

.... get it.  hahahahaha.  OK, terrible pun.

First, thanks for the comments on my tea piece. It is a great list.

I was working on Mary Margaret.

Before.

After.

See, I got a head.  Ahead.... a head.  Yeah.  Terrible.  Lots of counting this time.  And recounting.  And counting again.  And frogging.  Then more counting.  That vine thing on the left was my nemesis.

Next up.  Well, something a touch different.  I joined The Silver Needle's Stitching Circle this year.  Earlier this week I received the first package.  Fraktur Friends by Plum Street Sampler.  It is too cute so I've decided to side-step my rotation to do this piece.  Once it is done I'll be back to the rotation.  I just can't face Forgiveness right now.  I am really looking forward to finishing that piece so I no longer have to be disappointed in it.

If I get the replacement pieces for my sewing machine I may even finish finish this one!  That'd be a shocker.

Two for one!

Ack!  I really thought I'd posted my update for Mary Margaret.  Looks like I didn't.  Sorry!  So today you get a two for one.  TADA!

First... the part I thought I'd already done.

Mary Margaret before.

Mary Margaret after.

That tree did get done.  I started in on some of the animals as well.  Playing with the colours on this one still.  I think there are a few mistakes.  The raccoon is outlined in GREEN if I follow the chart symbols.  Crazy.

Then I moved onto Forgiveness.

Before.

After.

Really starting to feel that this one will never be finished.  It just keeps going and going.  heh.  Still unhappy with the colours and trying to get over that.  Hopeful the next time this one comes up I can finish page 2.  There is very little left on it, but I just didn't get it this round.

Now onto Beatrix.  This one I still enjoy.  :)

Mary

Thanks for the comments on the tea piece.  I am quite enjoying that one.


Now onto Mary Margaret.

This is before.

Not all that much to see there.  heh.

Now for after.

Just a tiny bit more interesting.  The colours for the letters in the tree are similar tone-wise to the tree so they don't stand out all that well.  Which is OK I guess.  Next time this one comes up I hope to finish the tree.  Shouldn't be a problem; I just have the top branch and a few leaves to go.

Next up I am back to Forgiveness.

Day 6

I pulled out Mary Margaret by Carriage House Samplings.

Before.

After.

Truly the border is longer.  Really.  Trust me.

I had to take my cat in for dental surgery yesterday.  Made for much not wanting to stitch.  Kitty is home now and seems to be doing better.  We will see how he is eating in a few days.
