finish cross stitch projects

today

that Lickle Ted is difficult to do at night bcause it is mainly shades of white and beige, so I am also getting my advent calendar out to do at night. I will work on Licle Ted during the daylight hours!

I think I’ll finish Lickle Ted as it is only small :0)
How is everyone else going with their projects?

I was pleased with them.

nearly finished my birds

But I did finish a small Christmas ornament yesterday. Picture to post tonight.

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… :)

I took this book out of the library yesterday, mainly because I was excited to see a book that centered around embroidery. It is historical fiction, set in both the 17th century and current times. I’m only about 30 pages in, and so far it’s pretty good! The author has done her research on embroidery and materials in ages past… Its very interesting!

I find it really hard to find supplies for my addiction locally, and usually end up driving an hour to a great little shop – Gitta’s. Or I end up shopping online…

Where do you get your supplies from?

Eleven to go. Fortunately, these little buggers only take an hour each to sew. I’m not sure how long it’s going to take to fill and finish them, but the snowflake is sewn.

The metallic floss didn’t photograph so well, but it’s there, and the eraser is (once again) simply for size comparison.
