Brand New Stash

I had been looking for this stocking canvas on sale for a few years for Andreas.  When Pocket Full of Stitches had its sale in January on all canvases, I jumped right on it and they ordered this one for me.  The rolled it up and packaged it beautifully and it got here in perfect condition.  I'm hoping to have the time and to find some stretcher bars big enough to start this soon.

On To The Last

I've got all the stitching done on the wings.  On to finishing up with a  body and antennae and some sparklies.


Itching To finish

I have maybe ten rows left.  I think it's time to just start working until it's done.

Cornering Again

Large stitches make quick progress.  I'm currently doing the largest stitches on the piece.  This means lots of progress, right?

Classification Issue

This is a new, to me, piece.  A friend asked me  to finish it for her.  She's done all the stitching to this point, but it's languished for six years because working on it gave her headaches.  It's an Art Goblen design, and it's very out of my comfort zone.  On the other hand, there's a -lot- done already, so it shouldn't take me too long to finish.  It's now in my rotation.

How Cool Are These?

Andreas found me 3D printed Dr. Who cookie cutters!  Aren't they cute?  Now I need to get the shelving in so I have room in  my kitchen to roll out cookie dough.  I hope they come soon!
