Very slow day yesterday...but I did manage a little bit on the greens on Victorian Christmas Eve (Nora Corbett Designs):



This little French hen had my attention again this morning...she is from the Crossed Eyed Cricket Collection, Twelve Days of Christmas....(Three French Hens).

Jumping around

..with my stitching, that is. So, I worked on Lady of the Flag for a while....the bottom of her skirt, a few leaves and a bit of blue.

Then a little on Victorian Christmas Eve...some of the white on her cloak, more greenery and a small start on the ruffle of her dress.

I worked on E (Eleanor), too...but I have to retake the pictures. I added the little fairy and a bit more of the actual letter itself. OK , I am having a really difficult time getting the lighter colors to show very well...

Hmmmm....

I was all set to take some updated photos of the projects I worked on yesterday. I use rechargeable batteries for my camera (which I took out the other day and put in the charger). Well, after trying the batteries in the camera this morning....they did not charge this time. :((

No new pictures today, but I did work a bit more on my Victorian Christmas Eve and Letters from Nora, Letter E (Eleanor).

As soon as I get some batteries to work for my camera, there will be a new update.=)

Bits and Pieces

Here's a little bit more of my Dutch design. I did add some beads to this design, Delica #434 (a pinkish gold):



and more progress on Victorian Christmas Eve:

Victorian Christmas Eve

Lots of reds....but her dress is almost done. Just one more color to finish the empty spots. After that I think I will start on her ruffle peeking out at the bottom of her cloak.



...did you see the new Mirabilia design? Athena, Goddess of Wisdom....gorgeous! Check wichelt.com for the picture.

Another update

I worked on Victorian Christmas Eve again. More greenery, her sleeve and the beginnings of her gown. She is about halfway done now.

Harem...

Worked on my Harem garden again for a little while yesteday.


and also a little more Christmas in July.

Deck the halls...

with boughs of holly....fa la la la la...la la la la....This made me think of my father, who loves Christmas songs so much, he would ask us to play them for him on our "record player" in the middle of August when we were kids..:)) Sorry for the side notes...here's my little girl with a little more of her halls bedecked...

VIctorian Christmas Eve

A little more progress on my little Victorian girl. The greenery on this one is going to take a while. The ribbons, however, are much quicker....:)

And, I think I am starting a trend....there is another cat hair that I did not spot until after the pictures were taken..:p

Christmas in July

As hot as it is here, you would think I would want to work on something cooling and refreshing...but no, I started Nora Corbett's Victorian Christmas Eve (a magazine design). I did another conversion to Crescent Colours for this one, too.:)



Of course, as soon as I could get close enough, I just had to stitch her face. I love Nora's faces. She still gets some white Wisper all around her face, but I think I will wait a bit to add that.

(of course, I just noticed that cat hair! ooops!)
