IHSW and 2 finishes!!!

Yeah, the last bead has been placed on Mermaids of the Deep Blue by Mirabilia! I picked this project up exactly 2 months ago as a SAL with Juls and I must say I could not be happier with the final product! A question on beading: do you use a half stitch or whole to secure the bead?

Unfortunately I do not know the name of this fabric (it may be Dawn?), but I can tell you it is a 32ct overdyed linen.

This is a present for The Crone, Gentle Arts thread on 36ct Days Gone By one over one. By far the hardest project I have encountered to date (I have even abandoned the notion of stitching this twice, one for me) I am so ecstatic this is complete!

Mark 2 off my WIPocalypse list! Whoo hoo! The Maiden

Beading, Beading and more Beading! Love the look, hate the process (especially since it seems to aggravate my carpel tunnel). My camera died, so I took this one with my phone. Hopefully it is not too bad, and I will post better ones once I get a finish (squeak so excited!).

Started work today teaching High School Biology Honors and Genetics, so stitching will suffer (but at least I have a job!). The Maiden

This is my first choice on my WIPocalypse lists. I have my original post prior to beginning the list and then I have my progress thus far. I am hoping to do a minimum of two months on each project (but I did add a 7th project to my list...so we shall see). I want to stick with this one and "get er' done" before I travel onto my second item of my list. I am very excited about being part of such a large group of stitchers. I am also amazed at the level of stitching some of you are doing. Wow! The Crone
