Day Five Progress....

Mom was ever so nice to send the few colors of floss I was missing so I was able to go back and fill in a few places I was missing.. BUT that meant I wasn't able to work all the way up and around her hands so instead I am working across and finishing the floor and then I will work up the entire dress.

Savannah's Day Four Update

I really didn't get much done yesterday but today I have a lot of stitching time so I hope to get the ruffles up the right side and then work across the arms and back down the other ruffle. I had to move her to I different frame since my Q-snap didn't have enough room to use magnets to hold the pattern still. (YES it was driving me nuts) I usually can manage small areas without the pattern in front of me but not on a full sized mira!

Anyway on to the eye candy!

Day Three!

The right side of the floor is done and I'm beginning to work up the dress.....

Now onto the fun parts!

Do you ever look at a picture the designers have posted and even though you see the design it still suprises you as you stitch it? Well, when I pulled the threads for this project they seemed very boring...mostly grays and browns with a few blues and greens..... I have full faith in Nora and her ability with color, so I am not worried at all that this design won't be every bit as beautiful as I think it will and even more so than the photo of it shows!

Savanah's Day Two Progress

Not much to report since I worked most of the day but I did manange to get a good start on the floor...

And of course before I could even finish this mira she has come out with a new one! Merchant Mermaid....I really like this one, it has an old world label feel to it like the old soap boxes or the soup cans....

Welcome! Savanah's Curtsy

I am beginning to realise there are quite a few designs I want stitched for myself! So I am starting with one that I love but have not seen many people stitch..actually I haven't ever seen this one completed.
This is day one for Savanah's Curtsy.....

I usually have a large enough piece of fabric to begin in the bottom right hand corner and work up but this piece is exactly perfect in size and so to keep myself from getting to the top and finding out that I am out of room and should have started ten stitches south of where I did, I started in the middle and worked my way down to the bottom right hand corner.

Call me crazy but I want to have her finished by Halloween! ..That's about 16 days!

This coming wweek the boys are home from school and I have a very light work schedule....So yes it is possible!

If anyone has any ideas please let me know but there is a ton of kreinik in this and I want to sub in something else. the colors are 013 beige and 021 copper. I am debating using marlett or something similar.......
