Finished this one at the end of July 2008 for our front hall. I just wish I could have found a darker purple for the K... Oh well.

Another one bites the dust...!

YIPEE!!! I finished my letters last night! It is so exciting to finish a piece – and I’m actually going to get this one framed!

Next: “Wee Baby” by Heart in Hand Needleart. It’s just tiny, so shouldn’t take too long. After that, it’s on to “Lilly of the Woods” by Mirabilia. THAT will take a bit of time… :)

See more progress on: finish cross stitch projects

Back at it....

Well, after taking a month long break, I’m back into my stitching. I’ve finished the J and the E, and have started the K. My daughter was quite excited when I finished her E…

I’ve started keeping track of my stitching statistics. I’m not quite sure why I need to know how many hours I’ve spent on the project (69.75), how many days of stitching that is (25), how many elapsed days since I started the project (96), and the average number of hours per stitching session (2.79). Its interesting to me, at least…

Onto the next project...

So I actually started my new project last night, after finishing the Petal Fairy. My next project is to do four alphabet letters from M Designs “J”, “E”, “K”, “J” – one for each member of the family – January, Eowyn, Kiera, James. Everyone is getting a different colour – blue, red, purple, and green in jewel tones. I’m using Thread Gatherer Silk ‘n’ Colors fibers – I love the variation in shading.

Once it is framed, it will hang in our front hall.

I did this piece for my friend Kristi. I love how the frame flowers mimic the flowers in the letters - an amazing match! I also love the suede-y looking matting - very rich.

Completed Spring of 2006.
