I had a new start this week with a project I have wanted to stitch for quite a long time. So far it has not disappointed. This is what the finished design will look like.
This is my progress so far.
I am stitching over 2 on 28 count Jazlyn from Crafty Kitten in Oatmeal. It's a nice easy stitch but it is going to be a very long term project - the fabric I had to order was 12 inches wide by 60 inches long so probably the longest piece I've ever stitched. I am already thinking about ways I can finish it that won't mean I have to remortgage my house to get it framed.
Received some gorgeous new stash over the last few days. The first was my bead storage container. Having seen quite a few Floss Tubers having purchased these I knew I had to have one and I have to say I am really not disappointed. It is an amazing product and has been designed by someone who really understands what crafters need. Here's mine with my bead stash in it - I have a few empty boxes to expand into.
EDITED: This is a link to where I purchased my bead storage http://www.amazon.co.uk/Elizabeth-Wards-Container-Storage-Tray-/dp/B00DV8YERS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415507520&sr=8-1&keywords=tiny+bead+storage
I also decided it was time I rejoined the Jodyri monthly fabric and threads club because I just can't get enough of the pretties. Unfortunately I put my threads away before I took a photo of them but this is the October Limited Edition fabric called Trick or Treat.
I also ordered some hand dyed silks from Jodyri in Brighton Beach which I am planning to use for Northern Expressions Needleworks Twisted Band Sampler. I am still not completely decided on what fabric to use for this but I did a little test stitch on Pearl Grey - I am thinking a slightly darker fabric would look better.
The next page of the Love Thy Thread SAL came out a couple of days ago so I'm stitching on the next page of that next.
Keep stitching and smiling
