Not only do I have ONE Happy Dance to share with you but TWO! Just a short while ago this evening I put the last beads on my Day 1 start! I am just SOOO pleased with how this piece turned out since I only had a chart and a thread colour in mind. I dug through my stash of fabrics coming across what I felt was the coolest fabric for this piece, a hand painted fabric with leaves on it! Then last night at 11PM I was digging around for beads to match it and whoila! The whole piece has come together so beautifully!
So far I've finished starts #1, 2 and 6... not bad! I do feel like I'm starting to miss my bigger WIPs like The Accolade and Christmas ABC Sampler, another reason why most of these starts have been on the smaller side.
Great job!!
ReplyDeleteWonderfull.. you will be fimnished with all the pieces before the end of Januarry.. then you can start the Big WIP's... hihi
