Homework - Part 3

Fireworks on Groundhog Day?  Works for me!

(What a difference sunlight vs lamplight makes on a picture, eh?  This one is by the window; the last one was under my stitching lamp.)

More 2011 finishes

I got the left side snowman finished and all the snow beads added to complete Bent Creek's Photobooth Snowmen.



One of the local shops advertised a Mill Hill Bead kit night to help stitchers get over bead-fear. I have had this kit since last year and decided to give it a shot. It stitched up surprisingly fast considering the quantity of beads on this little thing! There's no beading on the legs, but it seems like every other stitch on the top half is beaded.



Here's a closeup.

First finish of 2011!

So, here's my first finish of 2011! It's from Bent Creek; Catch the Day - ROWboat. The little fish in the corner has some beads on its tail for a little sparkle.



Also, here's the project that I worked on over the week of Christmas. My plan was to finish it over the weekend, like I did with the Thanksgiving photobooth, but I was so busy and ran short on time. I was also short on thread! I didn't have the color for the snowman on the left, which is why he looks like a ghost. I'm working on him and hopefully this'll be the second finish of 2011.



I've got a couple other projects that were finished between these, but they need to be framed and gifted before the photos can be shared. And they will be shared! I promise...

I'm Back!

I've just gotten back into the swing of things as far as stitching is concerned. I've been working on a few projects recently, but most are Christmas gifts, so I can't show 'em yet.

In case you are wondering, none of the gifts mentioned in the 2008 posts were ever finishfinished, framed or otherwise given to their intended recipients. That's gotta be a new resolution for 2011.

Here's the Bent Creek Pilgrim Pals kit that I completed over Thanksgiving weekend.
