The Girl that Stitches

Nocturne For days 75 to 100 of the 100 Day HAED Challenge I switched over to Nocturne.  This page involved stitching her face and the violin! Reminder of Artwork, Nocturne by Marta Dahlig: Previous Progress: Progress at Day 90 of Challenge: Progress at Day 100: Current Progress: Unfortunately, yet again I've just missed out on a page finish!  I'm switching projects again for the 21 stitch day Challenge.  At the moment I still have six pages at various levels of completion to finish for the yearly goals... I was a bit ambitious with the goal setting this year lol.  Halloween Sale There is a 20 % off Halloween Sale running from now till the 2nd November on my Etsy shop Crystallize By Joelle !  Here are two pendants I recently made... Labradorite and Mookaite Gemstone Pendants:   Happy Halloween! Happy Stitching! xxx

Time Flies, Just like Witches... I'm really hoping to get my yearly goals finished.  At the moment I am behind due to stitching extra pages for Challenges.  I still have three pages left to finish.  They are n
