I had a whole long story to explain my earlier disappearance but decided all of that was not necessary. I was told in November that my oldest sister is terminally ill, around the same time my daughter suffered a miscarriage that completely devastated us all. My sister is trying to enjoy the time she has left with her daughter and grandson and my daughter and her husband are recovering. As for me, I have my stitching to help keep me sane.
This is the first design in a set of 13, it is from a Facebook SAL of Lucie Heaton's calendar fairies. I am stitching 2 over 2 on 18ct Afghan cloth with DMC threads. This little lady is January.
This of course is the latest installment of the Facebook Joan Elliott Mystery SAL, the face and neck have been stitched 1 over 1, all of the beads will be added last.
This is also from a Facebook SAL called "On Wednesday we stitch Black", this particular design is part one of "Come in my little pretties". This is being stitched on 28ct cashel, Vintage Country Mocha with DMC and Crecsent Colors. I finally got my December Calendar Girl from LHN but I don't have enough stitched to share. Well these and my other projects won't stitch themselves so I'm off to make some wonderful little xxs. Thanks for stopping by.
