Forest Goddess' Face


Image hosting by Photobucket



Here is the latest scan of my Forest Goddess. Using my scanner, you can actually see the colour of the fabric I'm using. It's hand dyed Jacaranda from Stitches and Spices. I'm also putting in some beads and treasure as I want to see her face. Unfortunately the 28 count jobeline is a bit big for the treasures. There are gaps around it. I will have to go back and put some quater or something to cover it up a bit better.

Long overdue blogging

Wow, how time flies. I can't believe I haven't written anything in here since last year. I did do a little update on the side panel. I quess having a little one at home changed a lot of our activity.

Where do I start ? I decided in december/january to do a complete rotation of my wips. Now I have completed 1 round. Mind you some of them just involve a few stitches while others I worked on them more. I updated some newer photoes for some.

I did have 1 start and finish. Victoria sampler Gold was finished in Feb. This was a very quick piece. I did it in 2 weeks which is a record. There were a lot of specialty stitches hence fast. It was a SAL with Hans from Netherland. He started this and I got tempted and baught the chart and kit.

I have started many projects as well. Startaholism at its best. Cranes, Rosemarkie, Angel of the Morning, Forest Goddess and Japanese Box were the recent start. Don't ask me about the stash department. There had been too many that I have decided I won't update my stash album on webshot anymore. I baught stashes from Golden Kite, HAED, Dimensions, Mirabelia, and many samplers. Yes, I have gone into stitching projects which I didn't like before. And there seems to be no stopping. I have also been searching ebay as well. LOL I need to retire young and stitch all these projects. LOL
