Whew! Another Side Done

 This is from the Sassy Jacks Valentine's Exchange. 

And here's my second side to the pear.

Adding the Detached Bits

 I'm trying to work on my Harmony of Nature Casket but have been struggling. My needlelace leaves something to be desired. But I would rather have an imperfect piece than all the threads and box sitting around after I die.😂

Started the Black Work

 I don't think I will have this done for my guild meeting, but I will keep plugging away at it 

I wish I had put a sparkling thread in the center but oh well. 

A New Project for February

 I have wanted to start this project since it came out in the Inspirations Book. This is the Limonera Pear by Christine Burton.

I'm stitching it on Merlot by BestitchMe fabric and DMC 4516.

A Finish for January!

 I finished the Midnight Elegance Ornament by Debbie Rowely. I need to fully finish it but that will be for another day.

I want to make another one in reds....

TUSAL January 2025

 It's the new moon so it's time for the Totally Useless SAL- TUSAL. This is the day we post photos of our orts. I didn't empty my jar at the beginning of the month:

And here's the little wooden ort bowl that I keep close when I am Zooming:

Question of the Month: Tell us about the oldest WIP you have in your stash.

Hmm. I think it is Venetian Delight by Ro Pace. I started it in 2003 I think at the American Needlepoint Guild. 

Here's the pieces I stitched this month:

Janette Kirkland -Queenstown Sampler Designs 

Midnight Elegance Ornament -Debbie Rowley 

Angel of Love by Lavender and Lace 

Pour ta Fete by Lindsey Lane Designs 

I also finished a few smalls. The large one is the Mabel Tuke small by Sassafras Samplers. The Quakers were by With My Needle.
