Star of Wonder

 This needs to be restarted. I am fairly sure I have oriented the piece in the wrong direction.

I Started A New Project

 And I may start another one tomorrow! Horrors! It is the end of the year and I have tons of WIPS, but I decided that life is too short to worry about such things.

So Angel of Love by Lavender and Lace has been in my stash for years. And when I say years, I mean YEARS! Before my oldest was born. Maybe even before I got married. That is a long time for me to keep something and not stitch it.

It does have a bit of history. My original plan was to stitch it for my mother. She loves bling and I knew she would love it. But I never put needle and thread to fabric. 

Fast forward to Thanksgiving this year: my kids were helping me put up decorations and I realized the spot behind the tree really needed something. I have a small needlepoint piece there, but it is too small to make much of an impact. Now the smart thing to do would be to pull out an old WIP. Right?

One of these would have worked:

Star of Wonder:

Or Florentine Ornaments:

But neither spoke to me, so I pulled my threads, beads and fabric for  Angel of Love. 

I started her a few days ago and she is quite lovely. She will be perfect behind my tree!

What will I start tomorrow? I'll try to remember to share it with you.

Days 21, 22, and 23 of Craziness

I am behind on posting, but here are my "starts" which are really WIP's.

This is actually my son's Candy Swirl Santa by Janet Zickler Casey.The hat is a bear to do.  As he stopped working on it when he was 11 or 12 and he is in college now,I figured I should finish it.

 This is my Illinois canvas.  It is close to being done so  it is back into my rotation.

 Next is O'Star of Wonder.  I think I made a huge mistake on it.  I think all the stitching I started has to come out.  Sigh.  I will double check, but I think I oriented the fabric incorrectly. Will keep you posted.

Day 18- O'Star of Wonder

I have a note that I started this in 2010.  I have had the pattern much longer and would really would like to see it done.  The designer is Candamar Designs and it is cross stitch. 

Please remember that all this are WIP's that I hope to get done in 2013 or at least make progress on.

Christmas Stitch-a-Long

I am joining Yoyo at Dragon my Needle with a Christmas SAL. I have had this piece in my stash for um, several years. It is a Candamar Design called O'Star of Wonder. My goal is to do a little each month and see if I can eventually finish it. Right now I need a frame to stitch it on. Mre shopping!
