i got my valentine's goodies from the
swap yesterday! sorry i didn't blog about it yesterday, i ran out of time. i got some body soap, sponges and a pedicure kit. thanks very much,
lulu!
so, the project i put up the other night is this:
i think it's called visiting the neighbors. i have been working on this for a long time! more than ten years i think. haha. not every day, obviously, i'm not that bad a stitcher. i just get bored. this is a three piece project. here are the other two:
if you look closely, you can see that they aren't finished yet. i haven't done any backstitch (or french knots.) why? because i hate backstitch. so, i save it for last.
here is a sampler that i took a picture of the other day, but actually finished today (i haven't taken a picture of it finished yet.):
i'll take a picture of the finished product soon!
and lastly, because i just don't have enough to do, here is another project i started thursday:
it's going to be a birth announcement for sasha. what?

Those are all lovely. As a fellow cross stitcher I understand how it can take years to finish a project, especially a medium to large size one. They take a lot of time anyway, and then your throw in life -husbands, kids, etc - it really takes a long time. I also get sidetracked by other arts and crafts projects too.
Beautiful!! You're very talented. :)
thanks for lurking....lol hey your cross stitch is very nice. Your babies are so cute....How are things in JAPAN?

I'm so glad that you loved your goodies!!
Your cross-stitching is beautiful! I hate French knots, too. I always save those for last. Mainly because they never turn out correctly. Oh well.
Hope you had a great weekend!
thanks sherry. i have more projects than i have years left on my life i think. i also used to work at jo-ann fabrics so you can imagine how much stuff i have.
thanks kuri!
no problem, dee! japan is very cold at the moment.
lulu, it's so lovely! thanks again.
Very lovely!
Wow they are beautiful!!!
Can't believe you've had the patience to keep up with one for 10 years!!!!
