A May Post

I have been working on Dorothy, lots of eyelets ha ah!


Closer look at the eyelets, more to go...


The over 1 verse is progressing very slowly, one word at a time! But I am getting there...soon...

Part two of Sara's SAL Sorpresa 3 arrived and here is my progress. I just finished stitching two trees, a St Bernard and some of the borders. Will be building another house soon!





I am also working on another project by Sara - Summer. More works on Summer since my last post!


Closer look at the houses!



I really love Sara's designs, enjoy building houses and planting the flowery border!

Another HAL for me! Yes , I join Mamen's HAL Baby. We are currently at part two of this project.


Stitched on 32ct unknown fabric from my stash using DMC perle 482. I using a dash of light yellow for the cable stitches. Sorry, can't see the color clearly in the picture.



More scissors fobs, small projects that I love in between my big ones ha ah!


The pulled thread fob is actually part of the designs offered by Kathrin in 2012 for a 15 sided biscornu SAL. She had another SAL in 2011, please visit her blog to see her beautiful designs!

The other side of the fobs!



Another small scissors case found on Violet's blog! This is the project for her Learning Hardanger SAL, I love it! Will be making more for friends ha ha!





Currently, I am knitting owls for keychains/scissors fobs! My craft group meets every Tuesday and we are crazy about owls at the moment...patched owls, knitted owls...  I will show pictures in my next update.

Thank you for your visits and comments, they are greatly appreciated!

Happy Stitching!

Hugs,
Ellen

New Project

I was distracted again! Dorothy was put on temporary hold as I started another big project ha ha!  I found Sara's blog, she is doing a SAL. This current SAL is coming to an end in March and the new one will commence on April 1. Love her designs so I started Summer, a big design 280w x 263h stitches! Here is my new start!

Design: Summer by Sara Guermani
Fabric: 40ct Lakeside Linen Lentil
Thread: DMC

Another closer look, don't you just love that button?


I plan to rotate my two big projects, Dorothy and Summer, with a lot of smalls in between!

An update on my Hardanger SAL. I have one more filler to do, the  Edelweiss, a beautiful white flower!  I enjoy doing Hardanger in between cross stitch projects!







I love small projects as well, here is my recent collection of small pincushions/fob.





This piece was done on 22ct hardanger fabric many years ago, I don't stitch on Aida anymore.


I finished By The Bay Needleart's Autumn SAL. Now, I must find time to finish it into a big pincushion for my box!


Love the colors of the big leaves! I used DMC variations 4130.

I am stitching for exchange now, will show pictures later. Hope to show Dorothy's progress in my next update!

Happy Stitching!
