Updates on my 3 currant WIPs
Coasters
Took some time between chores and life altering decisions to do a little stitching and managed to finish Coaster number 2 "Snowman"..
He was easy but hard since I should have really checked out the size ..it was just a little too big for the actual circle in the coaster...at least that what I feel since I had to do a little squeezing here and a little fiddling there to get it to fit after my name and year, but I did it. Not to my wishes but pretty... I am satisfied.. lol no choice!
Started the third and after checking the size fit..I have made the first stitches...it is an ornament and I will post pictures later..
Witchy POO
I am still working on "Witchy Poo" and she is progressing nicely...
The actual, name of the sampler is "Gathering for a Spell" and it contains 5 witches.. definitely not one that I will finish this year (shucks) but I will give it my best shot to see if I can at least get half way by xmas.
I needed some special Kreinik threads but I could not find them locally so I am just omitting them.. they are the "glow in the dark" colors and they won't take away much to the finished piece...(I am convincing my self slowly)
Earthdancer
No significant progress there but a few stitches once in awhile..(alas poor Indian lass)...
Well that's it for now...stop by and say hello by leaving your comments they are always appreciated...and are like footprints of where we have been...
