Taroko Gorge!
I join The Stitch Specialists(TSS) Group recently. They are currently doing a HAL - A Confetti of Hardanger designed by the Group Owner Abi Gurden. This project is exclusive to TSS members only! Here is my progress, I am stitching on 32ct platinum Belfast using DMC Perle 712. I use Dinky-Dyes Peach Melba for the flower motifs - a very pastel touch of colors!

A closer look!
For Christmas, I am currently stitching Elisa's tenth Christmas Tree. You can visit her blog to see the gorgeous tree. Here is the chart and my tiny start ha ha!
Another project I plan to start is this chart "Merry & Bright" by Erynne Chard.
You can check out Edgar's and Myra's blogs to see their progresses! I decided to borrow Myra's idea and stitch individual squares as Christmas ornaments instead! Here is my first square, not finish yet!!!

Another friend, Kristine presented me with these two tatted necklaces! Aren't they gorgeous? Thank you, Kristine!
That it until the next update! Thank you for visits and comments, they are greatly appreciated!
Happy Stitching!

Beautiful stitching. I just saw the Christmas SAL on Myra's blog so had to go look and have printed the chart! It won't get stitched this year but never mind.

Lovely photos from Taipei, Ellen... Erynne's design is so pretty--I like the idea of making them into individual ornaments, too...
I have missed your posts Ellen. Lovely stitching all of it! That center square in Erynne's SAL is a favorite of mine and yours looks great.
You certainly had a great time on Taiwan. I particularly love the picture of Taroko Gorge - what a gorgeous sight!

Taipei tower and the beautiful gorge are incredible. Your stitching projects are all wonderful. That hardanger design is so beautiful, and the colours are so soft and make the delicate design really special.
Love Erynne's beautiful design too. Lovely Christmas ornaments you are stitching.

Your Hardanger work is exquisite Ellen.
Wonderful pictures of your trip.
