This month I've tried to focus on TT Violet Sometimes as it's so near to being completed, this has proven to be more difficult than I anticipated. For some reason, now that I am near to finishing, I've completely run out of steam and seem to spend more time sitting and looking at it rather than stitching on it! This is where I'm up to:

I did manage to get a little time to work on Henry VIII and have a little progress to show:

I was also a bit naughty, when I should have been working on SK Blue Moon, I started a new project! It is the Fanciful Celtic Fairy From CrossStitcher Magazine (Issue 227 - July 2010) that I had kitted up and had ready to go and I just couldn't help myself! It's my first Joan Elliott design (the first of many though) and my first time using the lovely hand-dyed Jazlyn from Crafty Kitten, I went with Dawn Blush for this project. If you haven't shopped there before I strongly urge you to take a look! I'm not very far yet but this is my start:
So no progress on SK Blue Moon....again
This month I've done some MAJOR stash enhancement and I promise to post next week when the last of it arrives to show you what I've bought, although I am a little scared to see it all together!
Thanks for reading!
Wow, there's some stunning progress there!
ReplyDeleteViolet looks gorgeous! As does Henry VIII, I quite fancy stitching that, just cos I love the dresses!
And I'd love to know how you get on with the Joan Elliott, I've go so many on my Bucket List, and haven't started any yet!
That's amazing progress you have made...well done! Love your fabric for the JE fairy, it's perfect.
ReplyDeletegreat progress and yes I think we all start new projects at some point ;)
ReplyDeletewow, you are almost finished with TT Violet. You go girl pull her out and finish her lol.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteYour WIPs look great! I love the JE Fairy and the fabric you are stitching on is so pretty!
Oh so close to a finish but no wonder you couldn't resist starting on the Joan Elliot design - haven't seen that one before, really nice...
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress!
ReplyDeleteYou are nearly done with TT Violet =)
You new start looks amazing and I am looking forward to see more of it =)
HA! I'm doing Joan Elliot's Fanciful Celtic Fairy too. But I chose a a black background to see what it would look like. Your work is fantastic. I wish I had more patience to work on those HAED designs but I don't. LOL (Not right now anyways)
