Re: Perftangel's SAL - 10/3 update!

Post by perftangel »

I got some more mini's done before Halloween:

Image

and

Image

I made them both into little tiny pillows, which I can't find a picture of for some reason.

I also worked on a swap gift (that I can't show you) which is. so. close. to. being. finished. :)

And I worked on this Glendon Place again:

Image

I think that's it for actual stitching. I did just finish an adorable teddy bear ornament, but no pictures yet. :) My husband. Every time I finish something, "are we keeping that?" "I think we should". Then there's me, we don't need baby bear Christmas ornaments on our tree. Him "but it's so cute, and all that hard work, you're just going to give it away?!?!" lol! :wub:

I also had a birthday so I got a bunch of patterns/stash. 3 Drawn Thread patterns (Holly & the Ivy; Haunted Halloween; Full Moon) with full kits. Except for fabric for Holly & the Ivy, which I can probably find in some stash. An adorable pincushion from JABC that I need to put together (it's an owl),. one of those needle holder thingies, where you write the symbols down and it can hold your needle for that color until you're ready again... I'm sure I'm missing some things too. :)

Side note, I'm going to be hosting a Glendon Place Amazong Desserts SAL in 2015 if anyone is interested in joining along: http://www.xstitchhaven.com/p/glendon-place-sal.html I'm totally open to a group on here too if you guys don't have blogs but still want to participate. It's a very easy going SAL. Nothing serious or strenuous but still with a prize at the end! ;) :lol:

I don't have a blog, so I'd have to do it informally or just directly with you, but I'm seriously considering it because Pumpkin Swirl is made of absolutely yummy colors. I just need to finish Puppy Love (and the tons of others I've started, I suppose). Puppy Love has a deadline since it's going to be a wedding gift...I just don't know what the deadline is since they haven't picked a day yet. Silly boys! But maybe having no exact date yet is what I need...it could be next month or it could be spring...I just need to be ready. j

You should be so ashamed of yourself...or very proud of yourself for being a really efficient enabler. :-)

Your work is fantastic!!!!!!! I love the mini's they are very cute!!!!!


Your husband sounds a bit like mine only our conversation is a bit more like:
Hubby- What are you working on?
Me- Oh it is a _________
Hubby: Who are you stitching THAT one for????
Me: It is a gift for ________
Hubby: Some day you should stitch something for yourself. You do such great work and you never get to enjoy it.
Me: But I like giving my gifts........ :?

There are several of the Mandelas that are gorgeous colors but I just do not care to stitch any so I will be a cheerleader for those on the forum that participate.

I shouldn't have even thought about this, but I looked and Plum Pudding looks awfully yummy. and I need a WIP diet!!! not a WIP dessert!

and I had to figure out how to get more than three quotes in one post. Tricky, tricky.

I'm back! And I've got a stitching finish and an almost for you:

Here's Festive Teddy from one of the Cross Stitcher Magazines, I thought he was lonely so I am almost finished with a friend:

Image

I also started Fleur de Lys Tree that Debby (fccs) sent me awhile back:

Image
I'm using Dinky Dyes Evergreen and mushroom 32 count Lugana. I'm hoping to finish it by Christmas and I'm thinking about doing it twice, once for myself and once for my parents. I think they would like it!

While I was on vacation in Japan I found this really cool needle arts magazine, Stitch Idees, has anyone ever seen it?

Image

There's some more pictures of the insides (non-pattern portions) if anyone was interested in seeing more. It's filled with all sorts of cool ideas. :)

And I'm back!

I finished the two little bears but I don't have a picture of one of them yet. One is still at my house as we haven't seen the people it's for yet. I'll manage to take a picture I promise!

Image

Not sure if I posted this or not, but I finished the pattern FCCS sent me for winning BINGO:

Image

I also made a grumpy cat ornament and a Reindeer Cheer ornament:

Image

Finished my first ornament of 2015:

Image

Took one last picture of my Tiramisu project before putting it away for Plum Pudding

Image

Started Plum Pudding:

Image

Made an attempt at hardanger:

Image

I also may have started another new project last night :oops: :oops:

PHEW I think that's everything in the last month or so...

Oh and you can clicky for larger pictures on Flickr. :)
