Weekend

This is my Mirabilia RR....so far.
I chose to have people do any little part of any Mira chart they chose...a wing here and a strip of a dress there and voila ...this is how it is looking.
I'm so pleased with it. It's on it's way to another stitcher soon.
 I just wanted to post a picture of it.

This is defiantly starting to look like a snow globe. All of the blue has blending filament and sparkles quite prettily.

HAED Ice Dragon King...Page 3 is well on it's way.
Do you see a tower????

This weekend I'm concentrating on the Mandala. I've started to add the TB fibers...oooo bling.

Well as you know the commentor is very choosey...
I'm doing my best to keep up with all of the reading.

Enjoy your weekend.
Stitch with happy fingers.

I did it !

Well, well, It worked ....I update blogger and here it is. Thanks Christin!!!


As you can see theses are little stitches but  I love doing them.
this is page 3 started on the HAED Ice Dragon King!!
yippee.
Now I will go and see if I can comment too.

Oh maybe I'll have to do that tomorrow it's getting kind of late now.
 I've been playing with this for awhile.

Good night everyone!
Stitch with happy fingers!

I've been stitching..

As you can see I've been working on the HAED ...this has page 2 nearly done.
I was hoping to finish this page before the New Year but it took a back seat to some holiday stitching. I've also been stitching on my Mirabilia...It's so close I can taste it..I'll post a photo of it soon.

This ornament has a story.
At the fall retreat Clare (no Blog) had stitched a small ornie...just like this one. I fell in love with it and the next thing you know she gave me a piece of fabric and some thread ..also the pattern and I was on my way to making this sweet little thing.
It is on 40ct... YES 40....linen and the thread is DMC variegated.1 over 2. There are 160 beads, yup I counted them.
I gave it to a very good friend of mine for Christmas.
Thank you Clare for enabling me. I love it and am no longer afraid of any ct. If I can do 25ct 1over1 or 40 ct 1over2. I can pretty much stitch anything. I enjoyed the challenge.

Have a good day
Stitch with happy fingers.

Back to normal

This was a very Hectic week for me. I decided to have a yard sale soooo...got ready for that and then I was called in to work 2 days to help out during holidays. I'm surprised I had time to stitch!
Things went well at the yard sale, mind you that was my first one and my last one. Too much work for a small return.


Ann had a RR that needed a few more stitchers so I volunteered to add my little piece. I used a bit from a magazine and modified it to my liking.

I like how it turned out.

I also did quite a bit on my HAED I can still see the line but I approached it from the other side and it is a bit better. The rest of the pages will be staggered on the sides so that won't happen again!

The weather has finally turned warm! Summer is here!
I hope you all have a great week and Stitch with happy fingers!

Another fob

I made this fob for my Mom. I'll be giving it to her for her Birthday next month. Aug 15 she will be 93.
Kathy and I found these little scissors at Fabric Land in Whitby a couple of weeks ago. I picked up a pair for Mom. They were fobless so I fixed that.
I also applied for my passport that day and received it in the mail yesterday. So....there's no holding me back now!!!


I did get some stitching done on the HAED.
Things have been a bit upside down here because we are having some painting done inside.
So far it is looking good. I love the colours We picked.
When it is put back together I'll post a photo.

Have a good day and stitch with happy fingers.

Updates

The Mailman cometh!!!


I was just thrilled to find this sitting on my stitching chair when I got home today.
Ann of Knowledge and Needles sent me this most lovely NEW T.W. design. Isn't it pretty??
The thread is Wildflowers "Lemon N Lime"
When I was helping Ann set-up the store at the college 2 weeks ago, I sorted threads and colours and came across this one. I must have said it out loud that this was my favorite one. Green is my Colour...any Green!!!

Thank you so much for your generous gift Ann!!!

Have a look at her blog for the new look in the shop. Judie and I helped her put it back together again...Just like Humpty Dumpty!!!



Now you may remember the story [click here if you don't] about the yarn gone missing.
Well it was found and woven into this Swedish Weaving Afghan by little ol' me.
Thank you Kathy for the tutorial on the finishing. It turned out quite lovely if I do say so myself.




I have also been working on my HAED and Mira.
Page one is complete on the HAED...oh boy oh boy..I new start.. even if it is just a page, it feels BIG!!!!!

My Mom and I want to THANK YOU for all of the nice comments. She was quite thrilled.
I even had her siting at the computer scrolling and reading the comments.


Have a good week and Stitch with happy fingers.

Weekend update.

I had a great time visiting at the Open house that Ann had at Knowledge and Needles!
It was fantastic, She had great things set up for sale from the Nashville convention . Lots of new designs.
I picked up some wonderful fabric and threads. A couple of little charts and will look again when I go back on Thursday to stitch!

It was great to see Dani and Christin.
And thanks Ann for a nice lunch!
I'm so happy you had a good weekend!

Today I had my Mom here for the day [our usual Sunday] But she and My DH watched the Curling so I got lots of stitching done. They are enjoying the Briar and There is no way I have any control of the TV while that is on!
I don't really mind!

I hope you all " stitch with happy fingers! "

Coming along!

I've done a little on the page 3 of the Album of stitches so I know I must work on it over the rest of the week. Page 4 comes out the 1st of Mar. So I would like to have this one done. They give us 2 months for the next page and this time I left it to the end...oops!

This is why.....

Yup its the ICE KING DRAGON ...can't you tell?
I've been working on it...hard to believe how small the stitches are...25ct over 1.
This 1/3 of page 1...only 44&2/3 to go.




This little lady has had most of my attention on the weekend. She is so much fun to do.


Now I must say I have been very selfish and not s[ent so much time on the computer. When I do that I get lots of stitching done. I found I was on too many hours and wasn't getting much else done so I've cut back on that a bit.
So I'm reading many blogs but not always taking the time to comment..SORRRRRY. I'll try and do better.
I'm also practicing 3 times a week for choirs and also working on the music at home. I seem to have less time now then I did when I was working...hmmm maybe I managed my time better then. I seem to put things off so I can stitch. ???? Am I addicted ???? do I need help??? NOT!

Blue

Eye spy with my little eye...

Some thing that is BLUE !!

Here it is my start on the HAED. I promised myself I would start it in Jan 2009 and I did yeah!! about 600 stitches.
This 25 count White Lugana is really wonderful to work with. And I love how it is working up.
.12 of page 1 out of 46 pages lol!

Stitch with happy fingers and stay warm if you are in a this deep freeze... if not have a cool drink for me!
