Elizabeth and Some Finishes

 I picked Elizabeth from the finishers today.  I had him make a box for her. 
Here is a Janet Zickler Casey Santa that I finished:

 And  a Gay Ann Roger's Heart that I finished and made in pink:

I look forward to sharing my finished projects with my local guild.

Pink Heart Finished

I finished this last week, I think, but forgot to post a picture.  I have pulled up Elizabeth and if I make enought progress, I will take a picture.  Right now, she is a little dull.

Some Beads on Pink Heart

I have found what I hope will work for the center of this piece.  Once it is done I can restart Elizabeth's mask!  I still have to finish the butterfly on Spring Splendor, but I hope to do that tonight.

Adding Beads

I added some beads to my heart although I am not done stitching.  I wanted to see how they looked.  I still am thinking about the center, but am unsure what to do.  I do know that I have plenty of beads!  (I looked at my stash.)  Well, back to housework.  Hopefully I will get some stitching time tonight.

Art Deco Heart

My friend says this looks very art deco.  Maybe that is what I should call it...Art Deco Heart.  Still have no clue as to the center.  Beads for sure, but I haven't searched the stash yet.  Need to before dd does and cleans!

Elizabeth I is back on track.  Hopefully I will be able to stitch the face correctly this time.  Third time is the charm! 

Heart in Pink

I made a mistake in counting and so my pink heart will be a little more different than the original.Or should I say, more uniquely mine.  I am not sure what I will do in the center.  I think the pink will be too much for it.  Maybe a big focal bead?

Heart Finished

 Love and Friends Heart by Gay Ann Rogers was lots of fun.  I could not put it down.  So I decided to pull some pink congress cloth(I have at least a yard) and some colors that I thought would work.

I did not have any #12 perle cotton in the right color, but a friend from guild had this ball of Anchor.  I also pulled some gold Kreinik if I need it. Not sure what I will put in the center.  If these colors work, I will have to go through my beads.  I have tons of seed beads and I think I can make them work.

I managed to finish the stems on my tulips for Spring Splendor.  Hope to get the lilies done soon.
