Mermaids of the Deep

July 31, 2006

Blue dilemma……… :)

Here are my beautiful girls….. well half a girl I guess :) I don’t know why but my pictures all turned the fabric out a washed out bluey grey when it is really a beautiful blue……?

Anyway……. oops….. I finished one of my August projects and it is still July?? So do I mark it off as done……. or pick something else to do for that slot instead?

I have to add in instead….

Waiting for Ships – Mira
Spring Queen – Mira
Watergarden – Chatelaine
The Teacher – L&L
Butterfly – Day – Maria Von Scharenburg

or to start

Mothers Arms – Mira
Celtic noel – blue conversion – L&L

So if you have an opinion…….. please share :) I would love to hear them!

6 days!!!

July 27, 2006

OH MY GOSH!!! I love ABC Stitch therapy!! It took them 6 DAYS!!!! My order arrived this morning :D I have done a floss toss for Angel of the Sea on Countrystitch Kiwi Illusions Southern Sky and it looks great so that is what I will be going will. I also got the treasures, big beads and a couple of krenicks that I needed for Mermaids of the Deep Blue…. I have pulled this out early and I am enjoying stitching on them again :) Man they have a ton of beads though!!

I use invisible thread….. just wondering how the rest of you manage to do your beading “in outer space” do you use coloured thread? It is so hard to see this stuff to set them right, great when you have threads around to follow though :)

I took Elle to the doctor today…. nasty cough, runny nose, wheezing a bit and a mucky eye……. fun…….NOT, poor little thing she is a mess!

Well thats it… going back to stitching while the sicko is still asleep and not grumping at me :)

New try at a rotation

July 23, 2006

Okay…… now I know that I have tried all kinds of different rotations and hopefully I have now got the right mix on how to work this rotation….. I am still going to stick with 10hours before moving on……..BUT I have picked 4 projects per month….. 2 that I will do every month until they are done and two slots of other things that I want to work on for that month……… I have been finding the thought of working only on Celtic Noel and Rose of Sharon really depressing LOL@ME!!

So for…..

AUGUST
Rose of Sharon
Celtic Noel
Mermaids of the Deep Blue (since I have bits coming in the mail)
Angel of the Sea (since I have bits coming in the mail)

at the end of the month I will tally up and see how many hours I got on each……. hoping THIS time I can do it! LOL

*hugs*
