Messenger update

Rolling right along with Messenger. What I love about these sort of designs is how quickly they can stitch up when you're not fooling around with switching threads all the time. :) Glad I ordered more of them!

My goal was to do the whole left wing today, and I missed it by a bit. I am very happy with the progress though!

Messenger and new stash ahoy!

I ordered some new stash today! Needed the belle soie silk to finish Follow Me. Of course I had to order more lol. On the way now is White Willow tribals Orca, flamingo, and maple leaf with the threads to go with them (hot pink and honky tonk threadworx), and prairie schooler 2012 Santa. Also picked up piecemakers and bohin needles to try aaaaand pink Victorian scissors lol.

I started Messenger by fire wing designs and I'm using 28ct jobelan hand dyed I'm desert stone with threadworx leather and lace.

Going to try posting with my phone!

*edit* the phone doesn't format it very well, and the picture was added sideways and way too small. lol.

So there is the correct picture. :)

Yay finished

And She's done. I left out a bit of the beading because I really dislike beading lol. I am very happy with her. :) I used 28 count jobelan (I think..) in raspberry lite, and the Crescent colours it suggested.

I'm about ready to order the thread I need to finish Follow Me, and I've been adding and subtracting stuff from the wishlist that I'll be ordering along with it. I am definitely getting White Willow Stitching tribals Orca, Flamingo, and Maple Leaf. I'm getting the thread for Flamingo and Maple Leaf as well while I'm at it. Threadworx for those. I love threadworx colours! :D

Anyway that is all for now. Glad to finally have a finish after all this time. :)

It happened!

I ran out of thread. :(

Off to order more, I guess!

Finally! a small finish.

This was supposed to be done MONTHS AGO. I finally managed to finish the last of the Pokemon for my AUS friend, Tim. Here is Eevee in all (her? his?) it's glory.

Now all that's left to do is to wash them all, iron, and then mail. I'm also sending him all the materials to make his own! If he learns to do it, that'll be two doods I've taught how to stitch. :D And by taught I mean throw materials at them, google some how-tos and then leave them to learn on their own because I am a horrible teacher. But it still counts in my book. :D

I think today, after I'm doing playing too much World of Warcraft, I'll work on Letter S and try getting her done in the next little bit.

We'll see. :)

Ahoy!~

Week of work is over! Hurray! :D

Saturday I took Follow Me to work so I could work on it there. It's coming along nicely but I think I mentioned it before, I'm running out of silk. This isn't the first time this has happened to me. Most designers stitch the project before printing, so why do some leave out how much thread you'll actually need?

The silk is almost 8 dollars a skein, too. So I was hoping that one would be enough.

The plus side is that once I run out, I can then order more.. and a few other things I'm sure will make their way into my cart.

So here is Follow Me.

One thing about this project.. it smells like my Grandma. The fabric smells like her. I used the exact same fabric on Paladin and it didn't smell like her. I cut that fabric in 2, so it was the same piece. But once I started working on this.. I don't know. It's a little creepy lol. She's alive and well, so. Don't know what's going on!

Not sure what I'm going to do with this project after I've done it. I do have a friend who loves Hallowe'en, so might frame it and mail it to her for her decorations. I'll figure something out, I'm sure. :)

Anyway take care and happy stitching!.

Holy crud!

SO yeaaaaaaahh.. I didn't forget about this haha. I... really haven't been stitching at all lately. I mean, I finally picked up the needle tonight to work on Letter S while at my Saturday client, but I haven't done anything since I finished Rageface. Which I still need to mail, even.

To be honest the past month has been emotionally draining. My mood swings have been uncontrollable and it's making me miserable. What really sucks is that stitching always relaxes me, but I can't seem to pick up the needle to do it. I have immersed myself in gaming, though, to get me through it. I'm finally starting to feel a bit more like myself.

Anyway, here is my latest Letter S picture.

Pretty much just the wings to do, the flower bit, and then the beading. She was meant to be done a couple weeks ago, but yeah. Oh wells.

Hope everyone is doing well, and I enjoy reading your blogs every day. :) Take care and happy stitching! :)
