No car boots sales this morning. We had heavy rain so the ground was too wet and they got cancelled.
Here is Mirabilia Bliss Fairy. She's almost finished. I've got to get the magnifica beads from somewhere.
TW Sun Dragon with added sparkle.
I've been to Hobbycraft and got some more foamcore board. Here is Dragondreams Not Forgotten framed at last.
I've had some computer problems so posts are sporadic.
I've worked on Emerald Mermaid until my beads ran out. I've just made my first ever purchase on ebay (yay me!) so hopefully I'll have this finished soon.
I've been somewhat obsessively stitching on the Fractal. I want it finished so my stash can have all it's colours back and I can start something new.
This is what I'm working on now.
It's been a while since I posted progress pics. I have been working on Fractal #141 for the last three weeks.
I'm giving it a rest while I work on Emerald Mermaid.
I've actually frogged the beads in this pic and started again, stitching them on with a half cross instead of a full one, so that they fit better. I was planning on finishing her but I think that I'm going to run out of the ivory beads. I'll do as much as the beading as I can and then go back to the Fractal. I want to finish it because it uses so many colours, I'm getting mixed up if I stitch on something else or start something new, robbing Peter to pay Paul. I want to get it out of the way, so that I can start something new. I want to get most of my WIPs out of the way and start afresh.
Progress on bliss up to a week ago. I haven't stitched on anything for a week, cos I've been too busy. I picked up some stitching tonight. Currently stitching on the fractal.
I escaped this weekend to Derbyshire for a stitchers GTG. Sixteen stitchers from all over the UK in three cottages. We had a wonderful time and some great laughs.
Evidence that I made it to Wye Needlecrafts in Bakewell - at last! I am now an honourary member of the Bakewell Tarts! lol
Results of Sundays Dying class ran by Kate from Sparklies.
My fabby after rinsing, dried and ironed.
Hopefully, one day it will look something like this:
I bought some DMC rayon, one of which currently looks like this:
I spent the weekend stitching on this:
You will have to wait to see what I am doing with my solitaire thread from Sparklies. Heehee.
