Wish List

Well I've finally done myself a Wish List. It's only from the one website so far, Mystic Stitch. This link goes to my wish list, not the Mystic Stitch site! The site is here. The patterns are so beautiful, it was hard controlling myself. The main thing that slowed me down was knowing the size of all the pieces, and knowing that if I bought every one that I wanted, I'd never get even half of them stitched!
I hope I haven't broken any copyright rules by publishing the pictures, I'm sure someone will let me know if I have, then I'd remove the pictures, and just make a written list, with a link to the site of course!
I hope you enjoy looking through them. My DH even liked the one called 'Disconnected'. He's originally from England, so if you look at the picture, you'll see why he liked it!
I managed to buy one of the kits off eBay last week, and it arrived in yesterday's mail. It is 'Chrysella', and it will be started not too long after I finish my 'Angel of Grace'. I still have at least 3 weeks of solid stitching to go on Angel, so Chrysella is now in a safe place.
Have a good week everyone!

Happy Hot November!

Okay, we're now into November, 2 days in a row 37 and 38 deg Celsius (about 98F).

As promised, here is the photo of my current WIP, Angel of Grace, by Lavender & Lace. If you click on the picture it will "bigify", as one of my ILCS group friends likes to say. I'm really enjoying stitching on her. She's being done on 32 count Belfast Linen, 2 over 2, with DMC threads only.

Got a phone call from the DS today, his laundry bag is full. So I popped down town first to get some felt, to make my eyeglass case with the wolf 'bookmark', then around to his place to get his laundry and bring it home to wash for him tomorrow. I know, we spoil him!

Nothing else happened here in the last couple of days, so will sign off.

Love and hugs to all

Vicki

27 October, Post #3

I almost forgot to take pics of this one! I can finally show it on a blog, as my SIL doesn't know about this blog yet, and won't know about it until after her birthday on 22 November! This is for her 60th birthday, and she asked me to do a stitched piece for her, with no special theme in mind. I had bought this pattern not too long before her request, and both DH and I thought it would be perfect for her. I hope she really likes it.

I changed the wording at the top from 'Our Country Home', as she lives in a coastal city. So I thought 'Home Sweet Home' would be much more appropriate.

Stitching 27/10/09

Continuing from my previous post earlier this afternoon, I've taken a couple of pictures as promised.

This is my finished Shades of Pink and Gold, a Semco kit that my younger sister Judy gave to me for either Christmas or birthday, I can't remember which. I don't normally do flowers, but then again, I don't really have any theme I stick to yet. I was thinking of making it into a footstool cover, but I now think it's too pretty to have feet on it all the time :) What do you think?

The next picture is a Wolf bookmark. I got the pattern from Artecy. There were a lot of confetti stitches in this one, but the end result is pretty good, I think. Thank you, Artecy for the pattern.

I joined Artecy a short while back, and I think it was worth every cent! They have the most beautiful patterns, ranging from small motifs, to huge art works! I love going through their patterns, and know I'll never have the time to do all the ones that I want to do in this lifetime or the next.
