A Banner Day

I stitched on Skull Banner for one night and oh the horror! My stitch count was off by one thread as the fabric is much like stitching in braille- I drag the needle to feel as I cannot see the holes! 

I could not locate where the error occurred so the project has gone in a "timeout."

Finish Friday

 While scrolling through the blog for my next project (more on that later) I came across a post that was intended to motivate my stitching that I have decided to resurrect for 2021:

Finish Friday!

The photos contained herein are my focus projects...

and rounding them out is unfortunately unemployment mermaid. 2020 Has not been kind.

Skull on Display

I really cannot get past how amazing this design looks in this frame, the Mother's finish is superb for this Skull!

Foam board and pinning make this look professionally done, I may need to reconsidered the sticky board! The Maiden

Fingers worked to the bone!

The Mother flew through this Skull Banner in a matter of days! Stitched on Under the Sea fabric's Hecate.

Now where did I put mine...

Here is my start of Skull Banner stitched on 32ct Huntress (one of my favorite fabric colors)!

Speaking of fabric... The Mother has been dying her own with AMAZING results!

The Maiden's WIPocalypse List

Finally, my WIPocalypse 2012 list is done! There were many more I wanted to add, so hopefully I will make it through all of these and more (I start working again on Jan 8th, so my progress will slow).

1. La Clef by Nimue

I fell in love with this chart the moment I saw it, and am awaiting it's arrival from France. This will be my primary project for 2012.

2. Venetian Opulence by Mirabilia


The second largest project I have added, while the remainder is daunting, I must have her hanging in my home!

3. Mermaids of the Deep Blue by Mirabilia

I had hoped to have this finished by New Year's, but I was distracted by holiday stitching, so it made the list.

4. Lilac by Nora C.

This is so close to being done I felt it would be a good one for the list. My goal is to get my WIPs to a more manageable state!

5. The Garden Ornament by Handwork Samplers

This is a gift I have been promising the Crone for 2 years now, so it must get done. The project is very close, but 36ct over one has proved very challenging!

6. Love Letter by Full Circle


The Crone found this for me in Reno while visiting the Mother, and I knew it was for me the moment I saw it. I started it last night, so technically it is a WIP (he he).

7. Skull Banner by AAN

Wait until you see my fabric... With so many Halloween projects in my stash one had to make it onto the list! I started this at my LNS months ago, but it has sat neglected.
