Squirrel's Stitching Update 9/8/18

[Garnet]

Best of luck for your appointment on Monday Sally , and I hope the new glasses aren't too expensive. (mumble, mumble, coatings, insurance, and other unnecessary add-ons, mutter mutter)

[Squirrel]

The appointment went well and hopefully new glasses in a couple of weeks.

Today I finished the face and did the b/s a right royal pain doing the whiskers right but anyway they are done. Beard is next with it mirriad of b/s then more big blocks of greens for the coat etc. Getting there ok.




<Thanks for looking.

He looks amazing!! So very very adorable!! So happy that your appointment went well and I do hope you get the glasses very quickly!!

Sally, you have the patience of an angel. But all your hard work is well worth it- he already "looks" at me so attentively. Great work, as usual.

Happy stitching!

[Mabel Figworthy]

He is growing beautifully - great work! And hopefully the new glasses will make it nice and comfortable to stitch.

You stitched his face and hat beautifully. His eyes are amazing

And hopefully the new glasses will make it nice and comfortable to stitch.

Oh he is seriously cute Sally

You are doing a lovely job of stitching him as always.

Hope it's not too long before you get your new glasses

I collected my new glasses yesterday. Have yet to try them on some stitching but they are great for reading. I will report later today.

[Podolyanka]

As a person using glasses, I can imagine how comfortable your eyes will feel when you start stitching in your new glasses. Happy stitching!

[Squirrel]

Oh so true Lyudmilla, I had a grand 3-4 hours yesterday stitching Mr Skewhiff's jacket. It is fabulous to be able to stitch that long again - and with no headache afterwards.

lovely work on a cute design

[Mabel Figworthy]

Hurray for the new glasses

[Squirrel]

Cross stitch all finished. Some half stitches around the feet - grass by the colour range and then a heaps of back stitching in several colours and work out what to do about the silly pom pom at the end of the cap. Pictures sometime later next week.

I am being taken out to lunch after church tomorrow so that is Sunday gone with the wind and a relaxing day - I hope.

[Garnet]

Gosh that was quick Sally, your new glasses must be helping you speed through your stitching.

Looking forward to photos

Ta Da Mr Skewwhiff is FINISHED. I finally had a whole day at home and got it all done and dusted. Here he is all nicely ironed and ready to put aside until late December when he will head off to my eldest grandson's home. Sadly he will still be overseas in the UK (or somewhere in the wide world) so he will get a picture of it for his 21st.




My next project is the Silhouette Angel and I will be stitching her on Chromatic Alchemy's iridescent 18 ct aida called Polar Blast.

Both the chart and a voucher for the fabric were gifted to me by the lovely Tiffany. I am still trying to decide what colour to stitch her on as I hate black in any shape or form. I might post a pic of the 3 I have narrowed it down to and ask for your opinions - yes I think I will and start a separate thread for her as she will take a while to do - the chart is on 9 pages and fit either up or down or at the sides.!
