Works In Progress

I have a few Works In Progress (WIPs) that I want to concentrate on stitching this year. I took some pictures of them so hopefully I can see some progress on each one next month. The first one is my January 1st new start, LHN Snow White. I am stitching it on 30 ct WDW blue jeans linen with the recommended CC Icing silk.

The 2nd picture is my long forgotten LHN Family Sampler. I have a lot of color changes I'm putting into this one and really look forward to stitching on it this year.

The 3rd picture is of a WIP from a couple years ago! ACK! It is Drawn Thread's Sampler Gameboard. I'm stitching it using Vikki Clayton silks. I love this project but all the color changes caused it to go onto the back burner. I hope to "warm" it up this year.

And the last picture is a WIP that I've worked on off and on for a few years. It's Victoria Sampler's Christmas Village. It is so pretty in person!

First finish of 2012

I finished this little ornament for a blue exchange for a yahoo group I belong to. It's from La-D-Da in the JCS 2010 Christmas ornament magazine. It's called 'Tis Red but I stitched it in blue. I used Vikki Clayton Blueberry Soup silk floss and stitched it on a piece of Sassy's 14 ct tan marble aida. Today I'm starting LHN Snow White for my Jan. 1st piece.

Hugs and Kisses

For a heart SAL on my Stitcher's Time Out yahoo group I stitched up this cute little freebie from Erica Michaels called Hugs and Kisses.  I stitched it on Sassy's 16 ct Tan Marble aida and stitched it with Gandy Tango silk by Vikki Clayton.

Danielle's Tree Ornament

Danielle's Tree Ornament by M Designs has been a UFO (unfinished object) for a couple of years now.  When turned on it's side you can see that it spells out my daughter's name DANIELLE.  I actually pulled it out and finished the stitching and beading this month.  She is quite excited about me finally finishing it!  She picked out everything from the fabric, floss, and beads, to the pink heart on top.  This is stitched over 1 on Sassy's Fabbys 25 ct Valentine Pink lugana with hand dyed silk from Vikki Clayton called Enchantress.  I used frosted Mill Hill Beads (#62037) and it's topped with a Mill Hill pink heart Glass Treasure (#12100).
