"The Lobstah"

"Venetian Opulence" still so far to go.....

"The 'guin"

Technically I dont think he's tall enough to be called a penguin.

Sad little Blog

I know we are all very busy but I am dying to see an update on Venetian Opulence! I have started the project, using a piece of fabric I already owned that is a sparkly natural grey color, so it was relatively cheap. The arch is cumbersome so I have momentarily jumped to one of the Garden fairies I started a few months back after I finished Sweet pea. At least this one is a WIP. I will take it to the crone, photographs to follow (Yes it is true, I still do not have Internet access). I have not been doing much stitching, odd, but am slowly getting back into my old habits. While I will continue to stitch it will have to be in moderation. Another project will need to consume my free time for the next few months....

The crone is busy quilting, but I may be able to persuade her to stitch again soon.

The apple pin cushion has become a staple to my cross stitch arsenal. I love it and what it symbolizes every time I look at it! Wish I could have been in Carson instead of here having my first life crisis.... The Maiden

Moving Weekend!

I am so sad I cannot fly out with the Crone to see you Mother, but an oppurtunity arose to escape my sister and I jumped on it! So I am moving to a cute little one bedroom over my own garage. I took 4 days off and will try to fit some stitching in. I started "The Dreamer" but she is the hardest stitch I have encountered to date so discouraged I returned to "Spring Queen" last night. The Mermaid sits untouched and it is all I can do not to go out and buy Venetian Opulance. Pictures to follow once I have cable set up. Hopefully I can come visit the next time Crone is in your neck of the woods... The Maiden

Progress.....

"Venetian Opulence" is coming right along. Her headband is all gold Krenik and a Krenik/DMC blend......beautiful but a total pain in the ass to work with. The more I work on her, the more excited I get to finish. Only 17 more solid inches to stitch!!!!!!
