Happy 4th of July!

Not much time to post as it is a holiday, but wanted to share the eyeglass case that I have been working on.  I work on it when I am too tired for anything else.  I joined the Stitch-from Stash-B challenge.  Will try to post on that soon.

WIP Elizabeth-Starting the Pearls

I finished the main section of beads and was able to do two sections of the pearls.  I look forward to doing the veil and her headdress.

Crazy Stitching Done?

 I wrote my words on a piece of tissue paper and then picked the paper off with a pin.  As I was working my oldest asked if the paper was water soluble.  Stupid me!  I could have used my Sulkey!!!

 Here is the piece with all the stitching.

 And here are a few close-ups. 

I don't think there is room for more stitching!  Now to make it into a tea cozy!

Some More Jewels

I had some time today so I put some jewels on Elizabeth.  I like how she is looking.  I can see the end in sight.

A Little Heirloom Progress

I have been out of the country and when I returned, I did not feel like touching Elizabeth.I am blaming jet lag.  I got together with my local guild and was able to finish another band on my sampler.
I hate to say this, but I lost a piece of needlework while traveling.  It was just a small stitch n' zip piece...Makes me sad, but also glad that I did not take a more important piece to stitch.

Turtle or Spider?

She looks more like a turtle to me, but she may just need eyes.

Purple Beads on my Tea Cozy

I realized I never showed all the beads I laid over the up and down buttonhole stitch.  Way too much fun!
