Double Happy Dance!

I have completed two projects today, one being a new piece having picked up the chart at the Stitch & Craft Show, I had to order the fabric (I ran out of cash) and start as soon as it arrived! It's a gorgeous opalescent in greens and yellows, but the picture really doesn't do it justice. Both chart and fabric are by Sparklies.

Next is Day 4s project from the Crazy 2011 challenge, Lavender Hill. I switched the white thread on the sheep to the whispers thread used in 'The Gathering room' also by LHN. You may remember I finished it as a cushion for Rachael in an exchange on ExchangeHeaven, and this will also become a cushion.

4. Lavender Hill update

Continuing with my theory of spending more time on each piece is paying off as I now only have the sheep and a flower branch in the bottom right to do.

Looking good to me lol. What do you think?

4. Lavender Hill update 2

As I got the missing threads I decided to stitch some more on this piece as it is small and stitches up quick. I have now reached the wording at the top.



Thanks for looking.

4. Lavender Hill update

Out comes Lavender Hill again and this time we have the beginnings of a tree.

4. Lavender Hill

Started my Lavender Hill piece by Little House Needleworks. I still don't have all the threads but think I may order them to save another trip at the weekend. I did cut fabric on white 28Ct evenweave however did my calculations wrong and divided the total of stitches by 28 instead of 14 so it was going to be very small over one and I prefer LHN over 2. I then re-cut my fabric this time using Slightly Spring by Sparklies which has only a slight shadowing of colour but it's fresh and I think will work with the design. (Click photo to enlarge)



Thanks for looking.
