Biancabella

I started in the middle on Bianca and worked down.  I wanted to see how the purple would look on the Crystal Monet fabric.  I think it looks awesome!  =)

Ophelia's Pearl

I just finished Ophelia's Pearl last night.  She's stitched on SMF Watersprite linen.  She was a very fun stitch due to all the bright colors.  Although halfway through, I realized she would have been AMAZING if I had converted the pinks to purples.  oh, well.........  maybe some day day I'll feel like doing it again....?  I'm still waiting for the fabric to arrive so I can start Biancabella.  It should be here  in a few days.  So I'm not sure what I'll work on until then.  I'm sure it will be a WIP though.

Pirate Treasure & new WIP

I just got to the point where I had enough of Pirate Treasure for a while.  I found I was not stitching when  I could have been because I didn't want to stitch on it.  So here's a pic of it just before I put it away...

And then I had to figure out what I was going to stitch on next.  I've been commissioned to stitch Biancabella for someone.  But the fabric for it isn't here yet.  I've been in a funk lately... so I figured I needed a new start (I love those) and I needed something bright and fun.  So I picked Ophelia's Pearl on SMF Watersprite linen.  I've been stitching on it for a few days, so here's a WIP pic.

I didn't realize from the chart photo exactly how violently orange this mermaid is!  =)  Anyways, I should get back to stitching.... I don't have much left to finish that tail fin off!

New Blog!!

Welcome to my new blog.... I have no idea where to start.  I feel like I'm writing a book and starting in the middle.  I hate introductions, so I'm skipping that.  I figure you're here because you already "know" me or you googled for something and ended up here (in which case you're mostly interested in seeing the pictures).

Currently,  I'm in a SAL with Sooz.  We're stitching Pirate Treasure by Lynne Nicoletti.  I've had it as a WIP since 2006......  (EEK!!) and I was inspired to pull it out because of the History Channel show "The Curse of Oak Island".  Talking to Sooz one day I discovered that she'd been watching the show too and fell in love with the design.  Immediately a SAL began (and I mean immediately!).    I wish the show had been on longer.....  My mojo is on vacation and I need it to keep me hyped up about my WIP.  >>sigh<<  Anyways, what you've been waiting for... a WIP pic:
