I had a little happy dance yesterday, three of four (in Borg right?)... ornaments that is. Here's another letter from the Red Threads Series.
Letter "C" - Red Threads
c2002 Rosewood Manor
Stitched on : Mystery fabric
Stitched with : Needle Necessities #139
Also here's my progress on Blackstone Fantasy Garden, I'm filling in all the green knotwork right now.
The loss will probably come when you least expect it. Hang in there! The Fantasy Garden looks awesome. I need to work on another BAP soon. I haven't done one in a while and I'm feeling a withdrawl. Maybe a Mirabilia will fix that?
ReplyDeleteMaintain is better than a gain! It will happen..patience...
ReplyDeleteBFG is ticking along quickly now that you have all those lines in there!
Awww....I know how frustrating it can be when you try to loose weight but you're stuck. These so called plateaus can be REALLY annoying.
ReplyDeleteYour finish is gorgeous. Love it. And your progress on your Garden is fantastic.
Cute ornament and Blackstone Garden is looking gorgeous, great progress
ReplyDeleteAwww, hang in there! You're so close and I agree, it probably will happen when you least expect or hope for it. Love your "C" finish. Great progress on your BAP.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on "C"! Love it and your BFG!!
ReplyDeleteMaintaining is ok....it'll come:)
(((HUGS)))
lovely stitching,in the C letter,and the Fantasy Garden.
ReplyDeleteBFG is looking good ... as to the weight issue, just keep thinking about how far you have come ... the last few pounds will be shed soon enough. One thing I learned from the newsletter my health insurance company sends is that eating papaya can help jump start weight loss when you hit a plateau ... it has to do with the enzyme papein [found only in papaya] which adjusts your metabolism and helps with the lower intestinal tract functions. I am learning to love papaya ... the taste if not the price.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching looks great.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your Blackwork garden is looking great! I have this in my stash and you're inspiring me!!!! Can't wait to see more pics.

I love Blackwork garden it is really beautiful! I agree the weight loss will happen when you least expect it, don't give up!
ReplyDeleteI love the letter "C" all done up in greens ~ gorgeous! Your mystery fabric looks suspiciously like Monaco...
ReplyDeleteAt least you're not gaining. Blackwork garden is sooooo pretty.!
ReplyDeleteVery nice stitching. There is a lot to be said about maintaining!
ReplyDeleteLove the C but I may be a little bias. BFG is so amazing, love watching your progress. CJ ok;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely ornament finish and your BFG is looking good:)
ReplyDeleteNice ornament design
ReplyDeleteYour Fantasy Garden is growing so pretty, I love its colors.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've hot the plateau stage - keep persevering & those last few pounds will come off. :0)
ReplyDeleteLovely ornie & BFG is looking great. :0)
Maintaining is good. Maintaining can be your friend. Not as good a friend as stitching though :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the accomplishments.
Your finished C is great! That is really beautiful as is your progress on your WIP! Keep up the good work with your weight. I know you are wanting to loose more but many people, like me, have a really hard time maintaining!
ReplyDeleteI love those little letters - they make superb ornaments!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress with Blackstone, you seem to be making great progress with the knotwork
I love your WIP`s...I esp love the colour you used for the letter 'C'.
ReplyDeleteMaintaining one's weight is not the worst thing to do. In fact it's basical after losing so much weight as you were doing.
ReplyDeleteYour progress picture is gorgeous.
Is BFG a blackwork/cross stitch piece? I am loving it, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteBFG is looking lovely. Great progress.
ReplyDeleteI love BFG, if I had more time I would stitch it too :). The Red Thread Letters are great don't you think? I have used them several times now and just love how they look.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck on the weight loss, been there, done that, still doing it, it's always a battle. I really admire what you have accomplished so far.
Oh, I really like your new big WIP. Good looking finish too!
ReplyDeleteYou hang in there with the weightloss, the last pounds are the hardest.
Fantasy Garden is looking so pretty, I love that design. Glad you had such fun with your stitching day, sounds like you had a full house and lots of stitching to admire. Hang in there with weightwatchers, although it must be terribly frustrating you've done so well I'm sure all of a sudden you'll see the drop you want.
