Holly Belt

While I wait for thread for Hocus Pocus I started the Holly Belt, B44, from Julia and purchased from The needlepoint Clubhouse.

Finishing!

Santa with tree is finished! It is a standup and I love the Santa faces on one of the bows!

Another day

So I thought bats would work and now as I look at it, they are way too dark and overpower the rest of the canvas. Ripit time again. It does not always work the way I think it will.

So this happened

So first I did this and I did not like it! So....I reverse stitched and

It will look better tomorrow......

A new project

I am starting a new project and have this on the stretcher bars. Canvas is by Sharese!

Egg belt/tray

I stitched the egg belt in May and sent it in for finishing, which was pretty fast. The egg canvas is by Gayla Elliott for Alice Peterson and I had it finished as a removable for the rattan tray. Canvas, tray, and finishing by The Wool & The Floss. The tray is going to be wardrobed and you will see the next belt soon.
