Happy Monday everyone!
I hope everybody had a nice weekend...
...mine was filled with freezing cold temperatures and lots of stitching!
(There are benefits to being stuck inside, because of the weather.)
So, this weekend was the 'International Hermit and Stitch Weekend' and boy, did I stitch!
I started on Friday, with 'Sugar is Sweet' Sampler (from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery) and made some good progress...
I was able to finish the entire alphabet!
Here is a reminder of what the finished piece will look like...
I will let you in a little secret, I actually started this piece 3 times...
I was planning to stitch it on evenweave/linen and did try 2 different types of fabric, but I just couldn't get it to work right. (I was having a really tough time keeping the stitch count correct.) So, I put the 2 different pieces of linen away and went back to Aida fabric, since I knew I could get that one right!
I will definitely come back to my linen pieces, but just not as gifts! (At least not until I get some more practice under my belt!
On Saturday, I moved to the Disney Princess piece (by CloudsFactory)...
...this is where I left off on the piece...
And, here is the progress I made...
Almost have a complete castle!
(I should have made it farther, but I kept ripping bits out, because the stitching just wasn't laying correctly. I think I've become too much of a perfectionist with this piece!)
Then on Sunday, I worked on the Star Wars Alphabet (by CloudsFactory)...
I'd actually finished Anakin (the character on top) last week, but forgot to post an update.
Here is a close-up of him...
Yesterday I started on (and almost finished) Boba Fett...
Hope to have him finished today...
...then I'll have 2 characters down and only 24 more to go!
Well, that was my weekend...
pretty productive, if I do say so myself!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm!
