Finished The Night

I just put the finishing touches on The Night piece I've been diligently working on for the past year, and I am very happy with how it came out.  The bead work was surprising easy, and the outlying stitches drove me bonkers, but she is done and I couldn't be more proud of myself.

Woo!! Like I said, I'm really happy with how well this turned out, even with the color differences of the bottom couple of inches.

Patterns!!

That's it for this post. I'm probably not going to be posting for a little while. I recently made a life decision that will keep me from probably doing anything for a while.  Will give more details in next post, however far into the future that may be. I'm nervous and feel like I'm going to regret it in some way, but I know it has to be done in order to be happy.  In the meantime, Happy Stitching!!

Geeky Finishes and Half a WIP Done

I have the top half of the Chandelier piece done now. Well, more than half at this point. I haven't taken any recent pictures of it, yet.

I also have two pieces done for the current Sprite Stitch challenge. The challenge was to take the given outlines of video game logos and color them in like a coloring book.  It's a two month challenge and I'm not sure if I'm going to do another one or not.  I choose to stitch the Kingdom Hearts logo and one of the Zelda logos.

I have a few patterns for you all, now.  It's a little early, but I decided to post Christmas ornaments.

That is all for now.  Happy Stitching!!

Celtic Noel Finished and a WIP on the Chandelier Piece

I apologize for the long hiatus.  The only excuse I can give is that I lost a touch of steam back in January after completing the Midna piece and have only just recently found the motivation to stitch again.  Don't get me wrong, I've been keeping busy with work, car troubles, Skyrim, and my new-found elation with losing weight (15 pounds!!), but those things don't seem to be a good enough excuse.  So I am back, for the time being.

As noted, I finally finished Celtic Noel, to my mother's delight.  I know it's  few months late, but better late than never.  I finished the beading on it Monday, May 13th, 2013.  I have provided detail shots of the beading.  Hope you enjoy!

This next photo is a WIP shot of the Chandelier piece.

I decided to post some Hello Kitty patterns this time.  I find them to be quite cute.

 And I am done for this post!  It's good to be stitching again and I hope to post again soon. Happy Stitching!!

Started Something New

I still have not finished Celtic Noel.  My motivation to do any work on her has dwindled to almost nothing.  I have done some beading, but it's come to a standstill because.....just because.  However, I have been stitching.  For my last post of the year, I have some stitching progress on Crystal Symphony by Mirabilia to show.  The first image is nicely lighted, the second one is not lighted, and the third image is a detail shot of the chandelier.

Now for patterns! I decided to go all out this time with the Christmas dragons.  Gives you all a nice head start for next year ;).

I believe that is it for now.  Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year!! Happy Stitching!
