As I had Monday off, I did add an extra day to my weekend.
While Magic Dreams was my focus, I spent a good part of Friday working on Jordan from Nora Corbett - I just found out she actually has a name...
She went from here:
to here:
Just the beading left the peppermints aren't attached, I just wanted to see how they'd look. I played around with beads and settled on a silver lined clear Magnifica. They were left over from another project. I think I have enough to finish this piece, but not the other two so a small order will be going in soon. I also changed out the called for DMC on the wings and swirls for a Petite Treasure Braid it's a Christmas piece, you can never have too much sparkle on a Christmas piece!!
Back to Magic Dreams. He went from here:
to here:
Lots of stitching with lots of different colors and blends. He's on the frame as my focus piece this weekend too. I would like to get him finished or very close to finished as there is a very good chance that the doctors aren't going to let mom carry him until February 5th.
A few more leaves and part of another branch on the Temperature Tree:
and a bit more progress on Time for Seasons:
I added a lot of blue and if you look closely, you can see a house in that negative space there in the middle.
Rain in the forecast for this weekend, so once I get the errands run, I'll be inside stitching.
Awesome progress on your pieces, Susan! The pixie looks darling. Have a stitch filled weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat Hermitting progress! But J is for Jo not Jordan LOL. Love those peppermint buttons, great addition to the design.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely stitches you put in.
ReplyDeleteJ could be for Julie ... ME!
Awesome progress on Jordan and the whale! I think it won't be that long before your next finish after all.
