Drawn Thread Doodle Progess

I meant to add this on Tuesday, but today is as good as any.   I got together with a friend and we did some stitching on our samplers. She has inspired me to spend more time on it although I am bound and determined to get Elizabeth done!!!

So Sad, So Slow

Even though I spent several hours on Elizabeth, there was not much progress.  My only consolation is that I am close to getting that right sleeve done.  Once it is finished, I will be able to start the blackwork sleeves.  And more background....

A Few More Beads

I have not done much, but I thought I would show my progress.  I was rummaging through my stash and saw two more of these kits.  Not exactly the same one, but similar.  Makes me want to stitch faster!

Starting on the Beads

I had some time so I started on the beads.  I had to remove them several times as I kept using the wrong color.

WIP-So Close!

I had planned on getting the other sleeve done this past week, but realized that I needed to put the background in so all the little stings stayed out of my way. I think the right side of the background will be done by tomorrow.  How exciting!! Well, not totally done as it needs another stitch over it, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Carriage or Spider?

It doesn't look like a spider so much.  I love the colors and really look forward to putting the beads on this one.  But I have plenty more to stitch on this before the beads.

Doodle Drawn Thread Sampler

I started this last year but it went to the basement when I worked on the pilot project for ANG.  I brought it back up and thought it would be nice to alternate with Elizabeth. Hopefully I basted it correctly.

Princess Carriage

Here is my new carry along project.  It looks like an orange spider in this picture....

WIP Elizabeth

I did a lot of tent stitch this week and managed to get most of one sleeve stitched.  I also did a bit on one side of the background, but it does not look like much.Maybe by next week it will have the other side stitched.

Ready for Beads

This will be my project when I need something besides Elizabeth. But now I need a new carry along project!

The Queen has Returned from Exile!

Elizabeth is the one piece that I want to finish this year.  But right now I am stuck in basketweave mode.  All the background to her sleeves and the little lines in the sleeves are basketweave.  I will have to pull out another project to work on occasionally or I will go nuts.

Nativity Bead Kit is Finished!

I finished this today.  It will go in the pile that needs to be totally finished.

Snow Crystal-A New Project

I had time on my trip to start this piece.  It is called Sapphire Crystal by Mill Hill.  It is going fast!
