Big ~ Sail Away . . .

is coming closer to the sea.

I have enlarged the stitching photos.

Now you can actually sea them! He He!
I have really enjoyed stitching this pattern,
frogs and all.
I have changed some of the colors in some
of the motifs.
I changed the alphabet so I had to leave
out some of the in between stitches so the
alphabet would fit.

I also put in this picture so you could sea
the little persons' details.
He has on those sissy heals like they wore
back then.
I have the windows and door in, the tree
finished with the trunk.
The lighthouse almost finished and the
grass done underneath the lighthouse.
The clouds are done and the boat is
floating in the air.
Tomorrow I will work on the water and the
rest of the hill and sheep.
I hope to finish it the first of next week.

As usual, thanks for looking and leaving your
precious comments. I love hearing from you all.
God Bless ~

Sail Away . . .

This is one I have been working
on for a couple of weeks.
It's a Shepard's Bush pattern with
silk threads and the fabric included
in the kit. I joined this SAL and everybody
else is done or almost done so I have
been stitching away.
I have enjoyed it very much.

Sorry it is so small I will take a picture
and download it to my computer
and send a better shot.
I changed the alphabet so I had
to take out some of the speciality
stitches as the fabric was not
big enough.

After le froge (frog) made a visit
at my house I took the
second and third verse out
6 times. Yes count with me
SIX times!
I had decided that if I screwed it up
one more time I was not going
to pick up a needle again
for 6 days.

Thankfully, it did work out the 7th time.

I didn't feel good yesterday and I should
not have even picked up that needle.

So after I got the verses in and counted
to make sure I had room to finish
I did the house outline and the grass
outline.
Finally at 2:30 I decided to go to bed.

I will put this away and work on
something else for a few days.
I am anxious to get it done but I am
rather sick of it.
Those frogs will do that to you rather
quickly!!!
