UFO & Progress

Here is Blitzen Glistens by Just Nan. I started this little cutie about a year ago. So why haven't I finished it, you ask? I'll tell you...1 OVER 1, that's why!!! Those teeny little birds drove me around the bend. So now I'm going to finish it and hopefully I'll be able to show you the finished project in a few days!



I also have more progress to show you on CCN's Let It Snow. I'm (of course!) beading the snow flakes with two colours of Mill Hill Petite Seed Beads and only have a few more to do. I put it aside for a couple days to start an exchange piece that is flying along. Let It Snow is for my mom for Christmas so I don't have to rush it to much.


Well I'm off to my LNS for more Floss-A-Way bags. I've already filled up 200 in my quest to reorganize my floss storage system. Pics to follow!

Happy Stitching!

Fini!

It's done! I finished putting in the last stitch to my initials and the year last night and now it's framing time! Hopefully that will go as well! I just love how the back stitching on the tails turned out. The chart didn't call for beads (horns, hoofs, eyes, flowers) but I thought they would add nicely to the finished project and I think I'm right.

I'm still making good progress on Christmas by the Letter as you can see here:

I want to add another WIP in the rotation to keep from getting bored. My plan is to make ornaments for my family this Christmas so I should probably get a leg up on that.

I got some stash in the mail yesterday from The Silver Needle. Yet more stitching to do:

Happy Stitching!

Mes Girafe

Here is my current WIP, Mes Girafe by http://www.tomandlily.com/. DD is crazy for giraffes and after searching on Kreative Poppy, not only did we find giraffes, but we found giraffes in her favourite colours! So she sucked me into buying/downloading the chart and starting it right away. It's going great, it's a really fast stitch and fun too. The bottom picture is my WIP from the 16th and the top is what I finished yesterday. Only two more (and a bit) giraffes to go! With the border it's going to be 8 x 10. DD is totally thrilled with my progress so far.
