Creeping Along

Well, I'm working my way across.  I'm stressing myself with how little stitching I'm getting done lately.

Finally Started My Year Long

After managing twelve months last year, I am trying again.  This is a Lizzie Kate series.  Yes, yellow is a bold choice for the background fabric!  The designs are smaller than last year, but I had to start later because I didn't have my stuff and had to order thread.

Something Different

Just before all my stuff came, I ordered what you've been seeing in the past couple of weeks.  These earrings are goldwork and silk.  I'm going to give them a try.

Working On The Edge

I've been working on the left edge a bit, getting more boxes done.  Nothing exciting, but at least progress.

Up To Three

Working on the third band now, plugging away.  The thread I'm using is normally a bit thick for the canvas, but I'm liking the chunky look.

Bonus Kit

I was able to buy the Serenity Harbor Stitching Book Kit because I subscribed to the Serenity Harbor Sampler from By the Bay.  At this point, I'm still on part three of that because I put it away when I moved.  I'll dig it out when I'm finished with another couple of large projects.  For now, I can do this small multi technique project too!

Birds Chirped

Go me, another finish!  I found this a bit trickier than other bayeux stitch kits I've done.  I find the stranded cotton to just be difficult.  Wool works much, much better.  On the other hand, the colors are pretty vibrant, and I think it came out pretty well.
