I Dared!

 Enter if You Dare by Cherished Stitches snuck into my rotation as a restart on August 19, 2021. While I was remiss on restarting, I can admit it has produced some amazing results already! 

Stitched on 28ct Cauldron in 3 days while rewatching iZombie, I used Cresent Colors Nighty Night for the boarder (subbed DMC 939 when I ran out), DMC etoile in 310 (because I now sneak it into everything and do not have a stash of silk lame, yet!) and mill hill beads 02104 as they are my favorite critter eyes. 

The original work will find itself to it's new owner shortly, as I had stitched a quarter of it before I restarted, my very own version of save the stitches aided by Lina's Stitch Life!

Maynia Dared

What WIPs? Day 3 of Maynia has brought with it another new start, Enter... If You Dare by Cherished Stitches.

 

Stitched on 28ct ODL Frankenstein, a beautiful mix of greens and purples not evident in this photo. I decided to use a variegated silk called plum by Waterlilies for the boarder, but had to use 3 strands to get the coverage I desired. This fabric is challenging, the holes so wide my needle often slips out, slowing me down as I hunt for it beneath my frame.

 

Experiencing the high of a new start every day is addicting, I am not sure I will be able to refocus my energies on WIPs this month! The Maiden
