A couple of new finishes!

It has been a LONG few weeks since my last post. Being out of town, hurricanes, computer problems at work, etc., etc., etc....


But, on the stitching front I have actually managed to accomplish 2 small finishes.

This first one I stitched for a friend for her new house. It is a freebie chart by Willows. Unfortunately, I cannot find the link on the internet anymore.

Willows freebie chart

Stitched on 28 ct. white evenweave

using Green Leaves Lt by Silk 'n Colors

Finished as Doorhanger

Here is the second piece I finished up this weekend:

Twilight freebie from Tanya of The Sampler Girl

Stitched over 1 on 28 ct. Smokey Pearl

GAST Midnight, Banker's Grey,

Daffodil and Pineapple Sherbet

WDW Squash

Finished as Pinkeep

I have actually stitched on my train the past couple of weekends and made a decent amount of headway. Promise to post updated pic next weekend.

My First Pinkeep!

I have finally put together my first pinkeep. I decided to start with something small. I really like the way it turned out. So, I will probably do some more in the future. :-)

Design: Littles - Bunny
Designer: Bent Creek
Fabric: 28 ct. ivory linen

Threads: WDW & GAST. Made my bunny darker than what pattern called for and changed the yellow background to a different yellow. I also used black petite beads for the eyes.


My second piece is my first piece for my Bride's Tree SAL. The theme for the first month is House - shelter/protection. So, I chose this:

Design: Christmas Eve
Designer: Brightneedle
Book: Small Samplings
Fabric: A 28 ct. blueish/grey with a hint of green scrap I had. Stitched over one.
Threads: WDW & DMC
The pattern called for petite yellowish gold beads along trim of house. But, when I put the beads on they looked huge and gaudy. So, I removed them and liked it much better.

Not much other stitching going on right now. Been very busy with work. Hopefully more soon.
