Another Mill Hill Bead Kit

I had started this one in January. A friend has given me a new Mill Hill kit but I need to get the ones I have started done before I start another. Do you believe me?
Here is what I use to add beads:
 My son made the box with the lid with my name on it.
 I also use a tin box with a beading mat in it.
These things keep my beads in place.

Spirit of Jean

This is my new start. I signed up for this group correspondence course through Cyberpointers
in 2015. I obviously never started the thing. I received a notice that they were doing an encore of the class and I could join the conversation.  So I decided I needed to work on it. Once I got this stitch in I immediately started thinking about doing it in black and red....NO! NO! NO! I will only do one. I will only do one!

Another Finish!

I felt I needed to show this so I could justify starting a new project. Yes (hanging head in shame), I have started something new. But I will share that tomorrow!  This piece was felted by my daughter when she was 10. A year or so ago she was going to throw it away. I stopped her as I loved the colors. I did all the hand stitching on it, lined it and made it into a little clutch for my tablet.  So far she has not asked for it back.

VOTE!

I had this framed last month but decided to wait to show it until today. Don't forget to exercise your constitutional right. Go vote!

A Finish!

Well, at least he is all stitched. I now have a stack of stuff to be totally finished. But next week I teach for my guild and I must get ready for that. Can you tell that I am procrastinating?

A Few Beads

While watching the baseball game last night, I tried to do a little stitching. I figured since tension wasn't a problem on this piece (unlike the Drawn Thread Sampler), I could get some work done on this. Realized I made a mistake on the placement of some of the beads, but oh well. They are staying in!

Fairly Boring

I am plugging along on the Drawn Thread Sampler. I am waiting to work on the smaller Doodle Drawn Thread Sampler until I can get together with my friend. But this has a lot of work left on it.
