My New Look And An Update

My Time Stitching47 Comments

If you have been following my blog and are visiting today, you will notice my blog has a new look.  The theme I was using has been retired, and I thought I needed an update.  I spent hours this morning looking at themes WordPress has to offer.  I just couldn’t find what I wanted.  Or let’s just say I am not a big fan of change.  I think that is more the issue than finding something I liked.  I’m not that great of a computer user either, so the choice was hard.  I have settled on this look for now.  I am still looking 😉  So now for an update on what I have been up to.

I have finished Ella, the Frog Princess.  I finished her on May 8, and am so pleased with how she turned out. Have a look:

She is not heavily beaded, but enough to add some sparkle to her.  She is a Mirabilia pattern and is stitched on 16ct Aida Pandora from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie.

I have also started the Passione Ricamo Mystery SAL, Moon Sweet Moon and am loving this one.

PR Mystery SAL 5 start

This will be a fairy and a very large moon.  I can’t wait to see if the fairy will be sitting in the moon or flying in front of it.  I believe that Laura has re-opened this one for purchase if you want to get in on this one.  Click here for the info on her site.  I am on section 3 and have section 4 to do before section 5 comes out next week.  I am stitching her on a 16ct Aida fabric that was special made for me by Fantasy Dyed Fabrics.  I love it.  It has a bit of a purple hue to it that the photo doesn’t show, but I think it will be perfect for a night sky.

I have also put a few stitches into the Mystery Sampler from Linen and Threads.

Mystery Sampler February section

I am afraid I am quite a bit behind on this one.  I am still working on the February section.  But that’s ok.  I am totally loving this one, too.  I am stitching this on 16ct Aida Castle View from Silkweaver.  I am using Sullivans Variegated thread London Fog and DMC 3888 (which is not part of their line, but a specialty thread).

So that is what I have been up to aside from making cards with some new products I found at the local Scrapbook convention.  More on that in my next post 🙂  So what are you working on these days?

I Am Stitching

I haven’t posted in a bit, but I am still stitching.  I started the Passione Ricamo Mystery Stitch A Long and here is my very small progress:

100_7856Not very much, but I wanted to get it started.  I wasn’t sure the colors of the castle would show up on my fabric,  so I wanted to put a few stitches in, put it on the scroll frame and have it ready for when I can work on it again.  The colors are a little muted, but that’s ok as it is supposed to look like it is in the distance.  I couldn’t put it down and this is how far I got in an evening.  I am stitching it on 16ct Aida, Nantucket Sky from Stephanie and I think it is going to look marvelous!  I can’t wait to see what it will turn out to be???

I am also stitching on a project I can’t share at the moment, but someday I will be able to.  So just know that I am stitching.  How many projects are you working on?
