I have been stitching "Harvest Delivery" by Plum Tree Samplers on 32ct Jobelan, for a few weeks now. I LOVE the colors in this piece!
I finished the left side of the project, with the trailer, pumpkins, and flowers:
Next I will be working on the gorgeous horse! I am having so much fun with this pattern!

New Start ~ Harvest Delivery
For about a week now, I have been stitching a new project (I started on Wednesday, August 19th) . It's called "Harvest Delivery" by Plum Tree Samplers.
For the fabric, I chose a 32 count Jobelan in the color Sand-Castle. The threads I am using are Weeks Dye Works and The Gentle Art. The pattern suggested 1 strand over 2, but it looked too flat, so I re-did it using 2 strands over 2. It looks a lot better now!
This is all I have done so far. I really love the color nuances with the threads. The colors are so beautiful! Very Autumn-y! ^_^

Storykeep Masquerade ~ WIP
I haven't done much cross stitching since March of this year. I have been painting instead... But the past 2 weeks I have started stitching again. I have been working on "Storykeep Masquerade" by Heaven and Earth Designs, artwork by Ching Chou Kuik.
I had started this piece in December 2013, so it has been a while since I stitched it. I am stitching it on 25 count Evenweave with 2 strands over 1. Here is my progress as of today:
However, I noticed a problem. I am using a circular frame to hold the fabric taut while I stitch. When I removed the frame to take this picture, I noticed two small circular stains on my stitching on the cat's face! I then realized that it was the the little round metal bits on the frame that must have stained my work with what I'm thinking is rust!!! :(
Look at both photos below:
In the pic above I have written "HERE" with arrows pointing to both circular stains.
In the pic above, you can see the metal bits that I believe caused the stains.
Has this happened to anybody? What should I do?!?! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Annie

Faces of Faery 162 WIP
It has been a week now (since March 1st) that I decided to continue working on my FOF 162, from Heaven and Earth Designs (artwork by Jasmine Becket-Griffith). I had started this piece in February/March 2013 and had stitched it until July 2013. So it has been almost 2 years since I have stitched this... Here is the progress I have made in 1 week's time:
I wanted to stitch her other eye, so here she is with both eyes finished!
Here is a close-up:
And here is what I had the last time I had stitched her (July 2013):

FINISHED "French Lavender Pocket"!
Hi!
I have finished my "French Lavender Pocket". I needed to find the buttons, ribbon, and cord I needed, so it took a bit longer to finish. Here it is!

"French Lavender" WIP
Hi!
I finished the cross stitch part today!
It was so easy & fast to stitch up! Very lovely!
Here is the entire band:
And now I will need to add the buttons, stitch it up into a pocket and add the handle. Then I can stuff it with some lavender!
