Vickie's 2013 Projects
Well it's April so it won't be the whole of 2013! But here's my current large project anyway.
Here's my current project. I saw it back in February and you know when you have that feeling of HAVE TO HAVE? Instant love! I loved it even more when the kit arrived with all it's fancy little ribbons and stars.
I'm not too far into stitching it, as I keep getting distracted by other projects! I've finished her face and hair and I'm now onto the really fun bit of all those clouds around her. I'm leaving the huge one on the floor until I've finished all of Gorjuss.
One thing i am enjoying about the clouds is the use of white Lana thread - super soft thread that turns really fluffy when you rub it with velcro! I've quickly learnt to stitch and velcro it first, as the velcro will catch on other threads otherwise.

Very cute project! Nice stitching too.
I can't help but wonder why she is holding an oversized pocketwatch.

Lovely start on a great project. Easy to see why Gorjuss is so popular.

Oh I love Gorjuss! I have the one with her standing on books to do and the big horse and rainbow one. The kits are brilliant for kits aren't they.
I used the lana thread on the polar bear one and they are great fun.
You stitching is great and I look forward to seeing further progress

Thanks everyone! I can exclusively reveal (not really) that the clouds are going a wee bit faster than expected, might even have a progress pic up by the end of next week!

Update Update! The clouds were much faster than expected and I was able to stitch some of her coat too. Now all I have to do is make sure I don't get all the blues mixed up!
