Easter Parade ~ finished!

I managed to complete Easter Parade yesterday. Just in time for the Easter holiday!

DESIGNER ~ Shepherd's Bush

PATTERN ~ Easter Parade

FABRIC ~ 32ct Light Sand Linen

THREADS ~ Au Ver a Soie and Overdyed silk

EMBELLISHMENTS ~ yellow beads and JABC pink heart

STARTED ~ 27 March 2009

FINISHED ~ 10 April 2009

If I had to pick my favourite egg, it would be the last one with the star on it. I do like them all though. :)

Now it's onto something new. I haven't decided yet what it will be. I really should pick a different designer to Shepherd's Bush, but this I can not guarantee. A fondle through my stash should help me find something. I'll see if there's anything that calls out for me to do.

Til next time... Don't eat too many chocolate eggs!! :)

Happy Easter ~ with eggs

I have finished stitching all the eggs in Easter Parade. I did the final two last night. Now all that's left is the heading. This is done over one, with flowers either side. Another finish on the horizon.

Wishing you all a safe and happy Easter time. Take care ~~~

Six down ~ Two to go

Six eggs I'm up to now. I stitched another couple over the weekend.

Easter Parade - 4 April 2009

Two more makes four

Going at a slow pace, I've added two more eggs to my Parade. Can't you tell I'm back at work? :)

Easter Parade - 3 April 2009

I've got housework to do, and I maybe going out tomorrow, but I'll try to get some more progress done this weekend. That's all for now! Happy stitching~~~

Two little eggs

I got these couple of cuties done last night. Very simple little eggs... six more to do. :)

Easter Parade - 30 March 2009

I went back to work today. Didn't feel as tired as I thought I might. I'm sure it won't take me long to get back into the swing of things. Just a quick post tonight. Enjoy your stitching!

Not a lot of difference

You were probably expecting to see a little more progress than what I've done, but I hardly stitched all weekend. Last night was the only time I worked on Easter Parade. I've finished the bottom rows and now I'm ready to start on the eggs.

Easter Parade - 29 Mar 09

I go back to work tomorrow, after having a month off leave, which I'm not looking forward to. I'll try to do some stitching at nights so my progress doesn't slow down too much. I need to earn some more money anyway, to pay off all the stash buying I've done lately! :)

An Easter Parade!

Your comments and help on Autumn Blessings were so appreciated. I felt your encouragement and support very much - thank you!

What will I start on next? I'm going to keep with the theme for the time of year it is and go with an Easter design, since that's just around the corner. It's another Shepherd's Bush kit (can't stop working on these for the moment), called Easter Parade. I love how their kits have everything needed to go, so I do tend to gravitate towards them when picking out a new project.

SB Easter Parade kit

The kit includes 32ct Light Sand Linen, silk threads (including overdyeds), yellow beads, and a cute pink heart button.

I started on it yesterday and this is my progress so far...

Started 27 March 2009

I hope it won't take too long to complete, although I have a feeling the eggs will slow it down a little. It's not a very big design with the height only being 2.5" and the length 6.5". I thought it would be a fun one with Easter coming up.
