Page Finish on Dragons

I know many of you saw this a few days ago on my stitching blog but here it is again for those who did not.
I finished another page of Dragons! That makes 6/20 done (I think). :)
Here it is in it's entirety do far:

Shame about the shoes!!

Once again my progress on 'Breaktime'. Nearly time for the big roll up. I must remember to take a photo of it unrolled first. So that you will be able to see it all so far. The weather's been beautiful so expect lots of you are out in gardens and things. Enjoy while the sun shines.


Happy stitching to all of you.

Murky Manor

From looking at the blog fellow Ufoers seem to have been suffering from "I don't want to do that at the moment" I know I have. I take my hat off to Jen and Justflo who have made real progress. As you can see from the photo I have made very little progress. I have just filled in the window area. I managed to use the wrong colour on that so reverse stitching was the order of the day. I am not finding it too easy to stitch on the fabric without a good light and magnifying glass because another error I made was miscounting the threads. I don't know when I will do some more because I want to finish The Wool Gatherer and the July teapot. Happy stitching everyone.

Tuscan Gardens

Here is my latest progress picture of Tuscan Gardens. I've not really done much work on this since about Easter. I did, in the end, decide to frog most of the pale blue hill as it was stitched with thread that seemed to be of a different dye lot. I think that this is about a third complete now. The aim is to get it finished by the end of the year.

Nearly Half Way There.

Hi there UFO followers. Here's my update on Breaktime. There have been one or two frog visits but they have all deserted for the time being. The pictures show the last few weeks, frogging and redoing and then finally progress. I'll soon be changing my out look and going for the head and shoulder part. Now that will be interesting. Next time I'll take a photo unrolled again. Keep watching.





Also at long last is the framed Carousel Horse. I am very pleased with the finished result and all the grumbles and moans while I was sewing it are forgotten. Many thanks to Chris at Nimble Thimble for such great framing.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your progress, to all of you out there Enjoy your stitching and Happy stitching to you.

Dragons Update - May

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Those who read my personal stitching blog know that work has been crazy and I'm still quite sick from my surgery.
However that said, I've been trying to stitch.

Here is my dragons update to date:

Sail Away . . .

This is a close up of the

bottom of my

Sail Away!

I put a glow in the dark

blending filament in the

lighthouse

and

upstairs window

as though someone was waiting

for their loved one to return

from the sea.

Happy Dance, Happy Dance and Happy Dance!!!

I got this one framed finally

and it is one of my favorite pieces.

I put two suede mats on it and

floated them away from each other by

about 1/4 inch.

It gives the piece depth.

I used the kit but added some silk

I got from a company called

Down Under.

They are variegated and very soft.

I used them

in the Quaker motifs and for the water.

I didn't put in the big flowers, added some

extra sheep and changed

the alphabet to my favorite.

It is truly one of my own and I love it.

Thanks for looking your comments mean the

world to me.

God Bless your stitching fingers.
