A Little More Progress From Last Week

Monday, and time for my check in to let you know what I've been up to.....

I made some more progress on 'Mermaid of Atlantis' by Nora Corbett of Mirabilia Designs.... this is at 51 hours of stitching.... she is coming along quite nicely and soon I hope to do the beading and get her to the framer..... maybe she'll be done by the time they call for me to pick up 'South Seas Mermaid'......



my chapter 2 of 'My Stitching Album' by Jeannette Douglas arrived and I worked on it over the weekend and got it all stitched..... the stitch is called 'Milanese' and the chapter is called 'Milanese Moment..... it took about 18 hours to stitch....

the finishing isn't done, but I think I'll wait till the end and finish them all at once..... better chance of having the pages of the book all end up the size.....





page 7 arrived of the 'Spot Sampler Mystery SAL' by Martina Dey on Friday and I finished stitching it today.....



I'll see you all again next week with some more progress, I hope..... until then....

happy stitching!!!!

Progresses and a Finish for Me Last Week

Well, a lot has happened (been stitched) since the last time I was here..... last week I finished 'South Seas Mermaid' by Mirabilia Designs.... this took about 84 hours to stitch.... tomorrow she is off to the framer and I'll post a picture when she gets back home.... she is very colorful and at first I thot it was too much..... but she grows on you....



this week I was able to stitch page 6 of my 'Spot Sampler Mystery SAL' by Martina Dey and stay up to date on it..... these pages come out each Friday and it is always fun to see what the next page will bring....



my next project was picked up again on Saturday..... 'Mermaid of Atlantis' by Mirabilia Designs..... this progress picture is what I had done a while ago, so when SSM was finished, I picked her up again....



also this past week I received Chapter 2 of 'My Stitching Album' by Jeannette Douglas in the mail.... it looks to be a real challenge and I will be starting it soon.... these Chapters come out every other month, so I should be done in time for the next one to come out....

I guess that's it for now..... I'll talk to you again next week..... hope to 'see' you all then.... till then take care and happy stitching....
