And done

I finished the first silver and white one!  I am getting faster at these!

Silver and whites

This color combo of the Elegant tree is whites with Kreinik silver.

Whoo'ten Stitch guide

I have finished the stitch guide for Whoo'ten.  It is available from your shop or directly from me!

And the green one is done!

I just finished the green Elegant Tree......on to the next one!

Number Two

I have started the second Elegant Holiday Tree by Mary Waldsmith.  I changed the color to greens instead of whites.  The bottom layer is Silk & Ivory, and the middle layer is Neon Rays + .  The colors are much closer in person and it would help if the sun were shining!

Another finish!

Madam Butterfly is finished!  Ready for the framer!

Filling in the spaces

I am filling in the open spaces on the wings and am almost done!

Whoo'ten is finished!

I added in the vines and this one is ready to go to the finisher!  I have a little bit of the stitch guide to finish writing and that will also be available soon!

The bottom

The bottom leaves and flower are done!  All that is left is the vine!

And moving right along!

All of the ribbon is in place!  I am now filling in the rest of the open areas with 4 way Continental.

There!

All of the sequins and beads are on the pumpkn!  On to the flower in the lower right!

A slanted view so you can see the bead effect!

Filling in scallops

I added more Jessicas and think they are all in now.  Moving on, I am adding Kreinik ribbon in two different colors in the scalloped areas.

Calling it half!

Beads and sequins!  Getting there!

More Jessicas

I thought I had finished all of the Jessicas!  I found two more that will get filled in next time.  I also started filling in some of the other shapes.

Fashion Books Stitch Guide!

I have finished a stitch guide for Fashion Books by Alice Peterson for Come to the Point in San Rafael, CA.  The guide and canvas can be purchased from Michelle or you can purchase the guide from me if you already have your canvas!

Step Two

I have started step two and am adding sequins and beads to the orange face.

Just more Jessicas

I am filling in some of the open spaces with more Jessicas.  The tear drop shapes are a variation of the same stitch diagrammed in the chart.  Lots more to go!

And that is completed.

Step one of the background on the face is done!  He certainly sparkles!

Elegant Holiday Tree

This is elegant Holiday Tree by Mary Waldsmith.  This one is worked with the threads called for in the pattern.  It will eventually become a Christmas ornament.   I plan on stitching several of these for gifts this year, but they will not all be the same color.....some will, some won't!  LOL

More Jessicas

I am filling in the open areas with Jessicas and different colors of Kreinik!

Happy Easter!
