I'm In Love With Celestial Dragon!

Lately all I want to do is stitch, stitch, stitch!  Especially on Celestial Dragon, I am just so in love with this design!  The colours are fantastic and the pictures just don't show how shimmery this dragon is!

Also on Saturday Art Deco Spirits got some needle time.  While I was waiting for my Mum at the hairdressers I brought ADS with me and got quite a bit of it done.

Today was my weigh in day, and my hard work from last week has really paid off!  I'm down two pounds!  Yay!  Now to keep this same focus this week and hopefully I'll knock off those last 4 pounds in short order.

  13. Well, you know the colours are probably what attracts many to the TWD's Each and every one is spectacular. I love the CD and it is stitching up very quickly. That's the thing with all of them, once you get started it is hard to put it down...lol I say that very loosely.

    I'm in love with your Celestial Dragon too! It's gorgeous!

    Just out of interest because I'm never managed a project that big, but would this piece work on aida or would it have to be an evenweave?

  25. Hi Dani,

    You make stitching Teresa
    Wentzler's designs look so
    easy. Celestial Dragon is
    looking fabulous and you
    are so right about the
    colors used to bring this
    dragon to life. They are
    gorgeous!!

    You've been speeding along
    on Art Deco Spirits too and
    it's looking great as well.
    Love the color palate of this
    one as well.

    Congrats on the weight loss!!
    You've been working so hard
    at it, it's great that your
    efforts are finally being
    rewarded.

    The stitching retreat that you
    hosted looks like it was lots
    of fun, with a great group of
    ladies gathered for the
    occasion. I assume you got
    the tea stain out of Celestial
    Dragon alright. Eeek!!!

    Cheers!
