New Start Xmas Banner & Scarlet Lips WIP Continued

Hi!

I have been working on a couple of projects lately.  First, I have been continuing on my "Scarlet Lips" QS from HAED.  I love working on this one!  I wasn't able to finish a page, though.  But I still got to do quite a bit:

 

Compared to the last wip:

And I started a new cross stitch 2 weeks ago.  It's a Christmas banner from Dimensions. It's really cute!  It will be ready for next Xmas:

I stitched the whole thing without the backstitching.  I made an error on the top where it says :Welcome Friends.  I stitched 3 extra rows (miscounted).  I like it though.  I also eliminated the orange squares; made them red instead:

Next I will be doing the backstitching!



Have a great week!
Hugs,

Home Sweet Home

I felt like doing one of my small cross stitches.  I finished it in a couple of hours.  It's fun to do these mini ones!

I added the little blue heart above the door. I think it's so cute!

Storykeep Masquerade ~ New Start

I started a new cross stitch on December 6th.  It's Storykeep Masquerade from Heaven and Earth Designs. 

I am stitching it on 25 count Evenweave with 2 strands over 1.  Here is what I have done in 2 weeks time:

I am having so much fun stitching this chart!  I have almost finished the first page.  Her hair has so many fun colors! Soon I will start with her face!

FINISHED Butterflies Galore SK!

HOORAY!  I finished my Butterflies Galore SK from Heaven and Earth Designs!

Two weeks ago I finally had my surgery on my right shoulder.  It was very painful and still is, but my doctor gave me the OK to do cross stitch a week ago, as long as I keep my arm close to my body, and not do big movements (which means I still won't be able to paint for a while...).

So I finished my Butterflies Galore SK on December 5th!  Here it is:

Home of a Needleworker WIP2

I worked on this some more, and stitched the flowers.  I also stitched the little thread bobbin & scissors.  They are so adorable!

p.s.  I bought the pattern + the thread from 123stitch.com  I love that online shop!  Lots of fun patterns!

New Start "Home of a Needleworker" WIP

I started a new cross stitch about 10 days ago.  I couldn't help it! :)

It's from the Little House Needleworks, and it's called "Home of a Needleworker (too!)".
I am stitching it 1 over 2 on 28 count Linen with 2 strands of Crescent Colors thread.  I Love those threads!  The color variations are so fun to work with! Here are some of my wip pics:

 

 I finished the house, and I think it looks so cute!

New Start FOF 162

 

Back in March 2013, I started this new cross stitch, but I never got around to taking photos and posting it in my blog.  I have been lazy!  It's Faces of Faery 162 by Jasmine Becket-Griffith, pattern by Heaven and Earth Designs.

I had been working on it on & off until July.  Since July, I haven't touched any of my cross stitches... I have been sketching and painting instead.  So far, I really like this one, except the hair.  I think it looks too dark.  It has lots of navy blues instead of purples.  But maybe once the whole is done, it will look better?

Close of the eye.  I LOVE her eyes!  So much detail!
