So close

Hello friends!

My maids are almost complete.  Felicia made up my mind to go with gold buttons and I am quite happy with how they look so thank you Felicia!

I am sure tomorrow I will be able to get this block finished!

Last night was stitching guild night so that is where most of my progress happened.  It was a lovely evening as always and we have started discussing seminar which will take place here in 2018 so that is very exciting!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

Little Wings Day

Hello there!

Little Wings had a turn again yesterday, didn't manage too much, just a little more of the "frosting" and some pink up near the top.  I am not sure whether I will put this away at the end of the month and pull out my Mirabilia for the next month or just keep going until I have finished this first page.  I am leaning towards Mirabilia.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

1 maid down

Hiya!

I made a start on the maids yesterday.  There are quite a few stitches in each of these little ladies!

I am also looking for some opinions.  Each block so far has had a crown in it that I have stitched in gold.  This block doesn't and there is no room to add a crown so I was thinking I might fill in the button holes on the maid's dresses with gold.  Good idea or not?

Today is my little sister's birthday!  When Brayden was first learning to talk he started calling her Ya-ya and it is has been Ya-ya ever since so Happy Birthday Ya-ya we love ya!

Using up the green thread!

Hello friends!!

Another days work on Little Wings.  Most of the work I did was a little bit at the very top and some to the right.  There is still A LOT of green dress to go and I am already almost out of a few colors.  Definitely a trip to Micheal's in my near future!

Yesterday was my brother-in-laws birthday and we all had a lovely supper made by my father-in-law.  We are getting to be a big group when we all get together, my boyfriend has 4 brothers and there are now 7 grandchildren, 6 boys and 1 girl so it was a full house last night, lots of yelling and running and laughing.  I am really enjoying my quite day stitching today though ;)

Diagonal stitcher

Hello friends!!

I put another day in on Hannah Lynn which makes that 188 days in total.  

I started stitching this project a little differently, on the diagonal.  I marked my chart with a little stair case and I am parking just to be more difficult.  :)  Actually I decided to stitch this way so that there wouldn't be page or column lines in the finished piece.  Also when I get to the edge of my 10 stitch diagonal staircase and there are more stitches of the same color as the last one on that line I keep stitching, as you can see below with the black and the yellow.  The only think I don't like about stitching this way is that I am stitching across about 8 pages of chart right now and it is confusing to keep them all in the correct order so this method may not be for everyone and I am not totally sure I would stitch another chart like this.

Yesterday I stitched from about the orange lines in her hair to above the sun.

I also got started on the Eighth Day.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope my ramblings above made a little sense or were of some help to someone :)

Happy Stitching!

Hannah Lynn

Hiya!

Another day on Hannah Lynn which makes 187 days stitching on this.  I really like stitching this one so I don't know why my progress on it has been so little lately.  It could be because of that busy 2 year old... actually I am sure it is because of him.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!
