I didn't think the freebie from Chatelaine's Art Nouveau Sampler would take long to stitch up and it didn't disappoint. I finished all the beading Saturday afternoon.
For whatever reason, Martina didn't list what the crystals were supposed to be around the center, so I just did a little stash diving and came up with these. I think they look just fine.
Sunday, I pulled out a chart I've had since 2009. It's called 5 Little Pumpkins by The Cat's Whiskers.
I've converted to HDF silks and pulled a piece of what I think was 32ct HDF linen. When I counted my stitches per inch, I got 34 so it shrank a little in the drying process. I started out with a black hand dyed then realized that with all the black in the chart, it wouldn't work. A stash dive gave me a slightly varigated fabric that kind of reminds me of Belfast Cobblestone. I'm getting close to being done with the trees at the top. Pictures to come this weekend.
Later!
