WIP and a lovely gift

For few months now, almost every Saturday, I spend 4-5 hours stitching with my friends at the Stitcher’s Paradise store, here in Las Vegas. Today I had the opportunity to make some progress on Delicate Grapes and to sign up for the store’s Bird Club. The gift for signing up was this lovely box full of goodies!

Have a gorgeous Sunday,

Fresh from the Orchard – season finale and 2 awards!

Yes, I'm gonna show you a finish!

Luscious Apples - I really enjoyed this design.  The framing will have to wait for awhile though, till all the 4 designs that are part of this series will be stitched. I’m looking forward to start the Delicate Grapes…

WIP and a gift

My “Fresh from the Orchard”s is still WIP.

This is a gift for my dear friend  Rose. She lost her beloved dog few weeks ago and I stitched this little design from  Lizzie Kate  because it expresses so good her feelings…
I made the cord myself using few colors of DMC floss.

Dogs Leave Paw Prints @ Lizzie Kate

Fabric: 30ct linen

Fibers: DMC & The Gentle Art

Charm was included with the chart

A new update on my WIP and more…

My blog got a makeover… A new background and header, from Shabby Creations . Michelle was a sweetheart, she did all the work for me and I am very happy with the result.

I have managed to make some progress on these apples. I'm still hopping that by the end of this year I can start the next design. :)
Thank you everybody for your visit and kind comments. Thanks to you I keep going on this project.

Fresh From the Orchard - Episode 3

Thank you for stopping by and for your comments. I appreciate so much your visits.

I managed to stitch a little bit last week . I love working on this project but for some reason I still feel that my progress is not where it should be. I need to find a way to speed up a little bit… :)

Kind regards,

Fresh From the Orchard - Episode 2

Just a little update on my WIP… I am very happy with the colors. They are a perfect match for my kitchen’s décor.
