My First 2007 Finish


So here is my first finish of the new year. May I present my Christmas Elf Fairy! She really is so pretty and the silver beads are increadibly sparkly. None of these pictures do justice to her sparkles. You can't even see the bead snowflakes around her boots. Behind the fabric is the book that I am using to help Allen as he plays Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. It is funny how many of the tasks in the game you cannot do without the official game guide:)

Now the ultimate decision...what to stitch on for the rest of the evening!?!?

Leslie can you here me....

Nope, I cannot! I have one heck of a head cold and my ears are stuffed up beyond belief. I feel super stinky. When I was still awake and increadibly uncomfortable at 5am this morning, I decided that despite having tons to do before the holiday at work, there was no way I could drag myself in. I probably would have gotten some hateful stares as I sneezed and coughed all over everything, too:) Oh well, I will just have to work extra hard on paperwork between my groups tomorrow.

On the stitching front, colds have one benefit many other illnesses, I was not to tired to do some stitching. I worked very hard on my santa and finished him up on Saturday afternoon. Hopefully Allen will help me frame him one night this week and he is on his way to his destination at the end of the week. I need Allen's help and I am centering challenged. Here is my finished Santa.

Finished: December 16, 2006

On Sunday I worked a lot on M9. I am still not quite done with part 9, but I really got my motivation for this piece back on track for this piece by doing some work on parts 10 and 11. Now that all the parts and the "mystery" is out of the bag, I think I will do a lot of skipping around on this piece based on what is calling me.

With some traveling coming up for the holidays, I plan on throwing away my rotation from now until the first of the year. For the remainder of this week, I will be focusing on a last minute Christmas gift and Mystery 9. Allen and I will be visiting his family Saturday through Tuesday, so I will be bringing along a small project. I will probably pack Christmas Elf Fairy and an ornament. Upon returning Tuesday night, I will pull out Bordeaux Mystery and work on that until M9 comes back around in my rotation again on Friday.

On that note, I am off to find more OJ and good sick person tv:)

Its Back..

From the framer. Allen picked up White Wedding on the way home from class this evening. I think it turned out really nicely. I just hate that it is a pain to photograph the white silk. It just doesn't turn out very well in the pics. Oh well. I am very proud of this piece:)
















Tonight, I worked some more on the wing of Woodland Fairy. I am really enjoying stitching on the wing. It is soooo sparkly

A White Wedding Finish

All done!!! I finished up White Wedding this morning and sent it off to be framed. It should be back in 10 days or so. I was not too thrilled with the alphabet for it as it had waaaay too much back stitch. It fits the piece perfectly though. I hope my sister and BIL like it! So here it is:

I think I am going to pull out M9 for the remainder of the weekend and kit up a Christmas present. Now on to play rollercoaster tycoon with Allen. Tomorrow is his big birthday!!!
