UFO Club (1st - 7th every month)

[Sarah Gixxer]

Wow, the tree skirt is gorgeous, Jen - looking forward to seeing another pic at the end of the week.

Vani, great to have another UFO-er - looking forward to seeing your progress on Tinkerbell.

Please, tell me honestly. I started working on my ex-UFO the Winter Picture last month, and have been working on it ever since, because I am enjoying it so much. So now it isn't a UFO any more. Can I still work on it this week or should I pick up something else that is waiting to be continued?

[kerbear879]

I was all set to come on here and say I had changed my mind about the UFO week..but then I saw that you guys really do want to see Chessie so I am gonna pull him out tonight. I am loving Wrath so much that I am a little afraid to put it down in fear that I may not pick it up again for awhile!

[Rose]

Agi I would love to see you continue to work on the winter picture regardless that it is now not so much of a UFO. It was picked up because of this week so if you look at it in the right frame then it is still a UFO and so can be worked on.

So many exciting projects to see this month.

Vani that's going to be a lovely bag, your friend is very lucky!

tooth fairy ornament for grandson

I took a break from stitching EMS nbr to finished this tooth fairy ornament for my grandsons. My sons has 4 boys and they are getting new tooth from time to time. I stitched this awhile ago but put it aside because I didn't know how to finished it. I did have a oval frame to insert the stitching but I didn't like the look of the plastic hanger plus it made the stitching looks too bulky so I took the frame out and stitched the fabric on the back of it. I used a cording around it with a loop to hang it up since it will probably be shared among the 4 boys. (hang over the head of their bed or place underneath their pillow.) There is a pocket underneath the angel to put money in.

I am now on nbr '9' of my EMS Advent Calendar.

[Rose]

Oh that came out great SS

Lovely ornament, socialsue!

[Murmured]

I thought it was time I joined the UFO club. I have always thought of myself, not of having UFOs, but of just not having got around to working on some projects for a while. I started this somewhere between 3-4 years ago, and haven't touched it in at least 3 years. I thought I should be honest, and call this what it is, a UFO.

Here is the before picture, about 2 and 1/2 pages complete out of 24:




And what the finished product should look like:

Murmured - welcome to the UFO sal - this will get you motivated to finish this very nice colorful piece.

SS - your grandkids will love it - very special. my aunt made me a special tooth fairy stitched pillow when I was little - I loved it - and is one of the items from childhood that I still have.

Agi - please do continue with the winter picture - it is so lovely, we would love to see more.

Kerbear - *chants CHESSIE* - glad you have decided to stick with UFO week - I would love to see more of Chessie - don't worry, you'll be back stitching Wrath with lightning speed soon.

Vani - I love Tink - and how nice you are doing this for a friend.

Lots of great projects to catch up with at the end of the week.

[Cecilia]

Wow Murmured - that's a striking design. Love the colours. This will look great when it's complete.

Sorry everyone, but I won't be able to join in this month.

[~threadbear~]

Well done everyone on your progress!

Murmured, that looks a lovely design, be great seeing it grow.

Have decided not to join in this month as I've now completely abandoned the piece I was going to work on this month. It's the Laura Ashley Home Sweet Home sampler I was going to do for my Mam, but Mr Frog visited - AGAIN! - and I'm heartily fed up with it, so I'm doing a new project instead that I've been wanting to do for a while and I'm loving it!

[Mabel Figworthy]

socialsue, what a lovely present!

Murmured, that project has such gorgeous colours, I'm sure you'll get into it again!

Kell, good for you -- stitching should be fun! You'll know if and when the time is right again for the HSH sampler.

Murmured - is that Monet's Dusk from xs-collectibles?

It's another thats on my wish list!

It sure is!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Was this the one about which Ruskin said that it was like "a pot of paint thrown in the public's face"? All I can say is it's a very effective pot of paint!

[Vani]

Thanks to everyone for you lovely comments! I look forward to seeing all your work as well!

Vani, great to have another UFO-er - looking forward to seeing your progress on Tinkerbell.

Thanks Sarah, I think I am going to enjoy being part of this UFO club!

Vani - I love Tink - and how nice you are doing this for a friend.

Vani that's going to be a lovely bag, your friend is very lucky!

She is my most dearest friend, we've been friends since we were babies! So I trust her to properly appreciate it!
