The Master

The Master saw lots of progress this weekend.

Since it's Thanksgiving this week, I would really like to see a page finish this week but we'll see.  I'm almost done with the top half the page so it may be doable.

Old European Sampler page finish

Last night I finished page 2 of Steve Rousseau's Old European Sampler.  I'm really enjoying this one with just the few colors it has and I think the conversion, especially the browns, work well together.

The Master has been using Jedi mind tricks and has made a reappearance.  I haven't worked on him at all this year and my goal is to finish the full page and partial page of this row.  Here's where I left him last year.

Old European Sampler update

After my finish of Santa's Sleigh I dug through my bag 'o WIPs and pulled out Old European Sampler.  Here's where I started last week.

And here is where I was last night.

I'm hoping for a page finish in the next couple of days.

Finish!

Yesterday afternoon, I finally finished the stitching on Santa's Sleigh.

I hoped to get the beading done and I managed it just after midnight.

A little more progress

Fall must officially be here since we got some snow yesterday.  Maybe it won't feel quite so odd to be stitching something Christmas themed.

This is last night's progress on Santa's Sleigh.  I'm hoping to start beading this weekend.

Santa's Sleigh, an update

Fall has finally arrived.  I had to turn the heat on yesterday and we're supposed to get our first hard freeze tonight.  My DH says we're going to get whatever we plan to save out of the garden after we get home tonight.  Since I've already picked tomatoes, it shouldn't be too bad.  Just peppers to go.

I don't have much to update this time.  I'm still working on Santa's Sleigh by Nora Corbett and since my stitchy bug has made a strong reappearance, I've been making pretty good progress.

I've started on the packages since the last picture but I haven't taken another one yet.  Beading will be done after the stitching is completed.

It's been a bit

So some things happened which left me wondering how, why, etc.  But I don't want to go there.  

My stitching is kind of limping along right now.  I've only made a little progress in the last month.

Here's as far as I made it on Irish Chain before I got tired of dealing with the fiddly color changes with the Kreinik silk.

I've had Nora Corbett's Santa's Sleigh in the new start pile for a while.  Fabric is Wicked Garden from Colour Cascade Fabrics.
