Christmas Treasures

Not too shabby, eh?? From this...
Christmas Treasures WIP(c)

to this: Christmas Treasures(b)

since yesterday. I spent most of the day working on the interior of the design. There was just a bit more than the first picture shows that I had already completed. The section with the little houses and some of those specialty stitches was done. But I did get quite a bit done. In fact, the only thing left is the word "Treasures", which remains to be stitched over one.

Victoria Sampler design - Christmas Treasures with recommended fabric and fibers.

Eleanor

More progress on my latest little letter fairy, Eleanor (E). I just love the little fairies themselves in this series.:)

She's got legs

...remember that ZZ Top song?...:)) Well, it's not ZZ Top, but my Trick or Treat Fairy. I finally stitched her legs as well as started filling in her dress.ToTF(f)TOTF
Feeling like a little turtle stitching this one. . .

Purple Scissors


Stash in the mail!! Don't you just love it? I had ordered the supplies for Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. The Waterlilies, the beads, the treasures and the chart. And...some really nice purple scissors from Premax of Italy. They cut really well and the price wasn't too bad, either!

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.Lady of the Flag(b)

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.VCE(l)

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...E-Eleanor
