Two down

I finished beading the J and the i.  I added more white background in the center and then added the silver beads on the left of the J.

Yippee! Got to stitch!

I got some stitching in and worked on the background!

Getting started!

The moon is all done!  The sequins and stars are in and I started the background at the top.

Happy Easter to you all!

Hope you all have a glorious day!

More

-

 I did more background, the silver beads on the top swirls and red beads on J and i.  Robin asked how I am doing the beads.  The silver beads are size 15 and are attached in tent stitch beading.  The red beads are size 15 and are over-packed in the letters so the Jingle will come forward of the swirls and background.  Hope this explains it!

Red beads

More of the white background is in, more silver beads and I have started adding the red beads!

Wishing on a Star Santa

This is Wishing on a Star Santa by CBK Needlepoint.  I have the canvas, threads and will be following the stitch guide written by Carolyn Taggert!  Yeah!  Just follow the directions and no planning on my part!   My mom saw this design and said she would like to have it so we will be framing this one up.  Did you notice I painted out the star in his hand?  Following Carolyn's wonderful directions!

Adding beads

I continued on the white Neon Rays background and have started adding size 11 silver beads on the swirls.

Jingle

So, a smaller project!  Jingle ornament, #187, by Heidi.  I am stitching the background in basket weave using Neon Rays.

Finally, the last step!

The final step was adding sequins to the center background!

And it is finished!

And, closer.....

I finished the two pine boughs in the center, beaded some more and did more white background in the center.  

Do you see the finish line?

More leaves and part of the bottom left pine bough, beads, and background!

More beads

Added more beads and background....inching towards the finish line.
