Stitching on unknown linen - probably 28ct

The beads are done!

Hiya!  I finished all the beading today.  I don't know how I am ever going to bead a whole Mirabilia!!

Another few days and I should have this done.  What a change of pace after a Heaven and Earth Design!!  

Thanks for stopping by and see you back here in a few days with a finish...hopefully :)

My chicks have a house

Hello!  I finally got my house all stitched up.  When I started the house I had it in my head that it would take no time to stitch up but I guess when you count all the stitches in the house you realize that it is going to take some time.  

I am pretty pleased with how it is looking and I have added some beads already as the whole design fits in the Qsnap so I don't have to worry about crushing any since I won't have to move it around.  

This is only the second time I have ever used beads and while I love how it looks I don't get along well with the beading needle.  I can't seem to thread it half the time and the other half the time I am stabbing myself.  It has been a love/hate relationship with not very much love.  

Oh and I couldn't figure out why there would be fences underneath the windows... I thought maybe they are hitching posts?  It wasn't until I was stitching them and I put the darker brown color in that I realized they must be benches.  I guess? 

Anywho I am loving the colors, especially the Hand-dyed floss.  This pattern only calls for 3 Hand-dyed skeins with no DMC equivalents so I had to, there was just no other choice.  Ha!  

Thanks for stopping by and visiting with me.  xo

Day 185 Page Finish on Hannah Lynn!

Day 61 - First page finish.

Day 185- Page 2 finished on Hannah Lynn!!

This is about where the 2 complete pages are.

And I have a new start, Hen Party.  This one is for my aunt.  When I was young my aunt used to take her nieces for the weekend and she called it a chicken party, so when I saw this chart I knew I had to stitch it for her.  I can't wait to finish it so I can give it to her.  

And while uploading pictures from my camera to my computer I found out someone had been playing with my camera.  He is lucky he is so cute!  This is my sweet baby Thomas or Tom-O as we call him.

 And thank you to everyone who visits and leaves comments.  I am not even going to tell you my excitement level when I see there is a new comment or follower but just know that you all make my day :)xx
