Sew And So

I had been subscribing to this as a digital pattern, but, when Sew and So underwent a change of ownership, they didn't want to mess up. So they sent everyone in their stitchalongs hard copies of everything at no cost.

Stitch Maynia #21: Crocus Quartet

I've had this kit for several years and have been wanting to start it, so I took this opportunity to do so.

Stitch Maynia #8: Swarm of Bees

My bee has legs.

Purple Graced

Yay, a finish!  It only took me a couple of days to do the right leaf.  I like how it turned out.

Both Flowers Done

Yay, both flowers are done!  Now on to the leaves.

Onto Another Flower

Working on the smaller flower now.  Hope to have this one done soon.

Lots Of Stash

The Crewel Work Company was closing out some things about a month ago.  I decided to buy some of those things at a discount.  Time for me to get to work.

Crewel Flower

Yay, the flower itself is done!

Stitch Maynia #13 - Rowan Tree

It's big, but at least it's started!  I hope to get back to this soon.

Sepaled

All the sepals are done and it's time to work on the stem.

Two Sepals

Two sepals done and I am liking the look of this.

Two Sepals Done

I think this is looking pretty good.

Working On Sepals

I am getting to practice more long and short stitch.  I like the way it's looking so far.

Petals Done

The petals are done on the big flower!  I get to go to another area.

Petaling Along

Down to the next to darkest color now.  

Striping The Petals

I like working crewel.  This piece is satisfying that itch for now.  Time for me to get these petals fully striped.

Bring Some Petals

I have my big petals started now.

Baby Buttons

I have little buttons and the inside of the large flower.  It's now in my rotation, so it's time to get things done.

Crewel Kits

Three new kits for me from The Crewel Work Company.  Once was even free!

All Bee'd Up

I finished my Elizabethan Pencil Box.  One of the strawberries has trellises that are no where near perfect, but I think it adds charm to the piece.  I liked doing the twisted buttonholes, and I'm overall pleased with the result.
