I finally gave in and allowed myself a new start, though I do have other projects already started that could use my attention. I have started : Tour Des Marques (I did do one floss length on it on Saturday), Paradigm Lost, Pomegranates and Pears, Mini Cottages 5, and Cats in Baskets. I have two pieces at the moment I should actually admit they are UFO's now I do actually want to stitch them, so they're not in the I don't love you anymore pile. They are The Accolade and Celestial Dragon, they just keep getting put aside.
Now you're wondering what did I let myself start? Well I've had this kit for a year now, and its Christmasy! I started Mirabilia's Christmas Elf Fairy. I swapped out the linen and used 32 ct Opalescent Lugana, Precious Metals from Silkweavers. I think she'll stitch up quickly since this is what I've gotten done since I started it on Saturday.
Tomorrow I should give Tour Des Marques a little lovin'
I love that one, it is so cute! Don't you just love/hate that there are so many charts you want to stitch at once. I have 4 items on scroll rods that I try to stitch on and never know which one I want to stitch and I have another one I want to start too...ahhh, the life of a stitcher, such a wonderful quandry.
ReplyDeleteYour fairy looks great so far Dani. You got alot of stitching done in a short amount of time.
ReplyDeleteYour Christms fairy is lovely. If the rest of it stitches up that fast you will have it done in no time. Stay warm, my friend
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty one. I have it in my stash too.

ReplyDeleteAwesome sart on her! I have had this one for about a year now and hae yet to strat on it but I recently finished up Miribilias Halloween Fairy so I won't get to this one this year. :)
ReplyDeleteNice start Dani, it doesn't look like she'll take you long
ReplyDeleteThat's a great start Dani. I'm sure you'll be done in no time at all.
ReplyDeleteOh - very seasonal - I like the fabric you chose. There is never such a thing as too many starts. Is there? :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful start Dani, and I love the fabric you picked for her. I've been feeling an urge for a new start, but so far have been able to deny it. I really want to get a few other pieces finished first.
ReplyDeleteWow! Nice start on the Christmas Elf. She is looking good.
ReplyDeleteWow, Dani! You do such lovely work and you crank them out so fast. This one is just beautiful, I love the christmassy colors! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou've made great progress real quickly!
ReplyDeleteI really laughed when you said you had an "I don't love you anymore" pile. That's a perfect name for a few of my piles!
Wow! What a start you've made! Another awesome fabric choice!
ReplyDeleteGreat start! Love this Christmas fairy!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it will be very pretty on that fabric. Nice start!
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT start !!! You are no where near the top of the WIP list so start as many as you want LOL.
