more fun this week…sewing,sketching,embroidery..

I had managed to work a little bit on some of the projects, not much progress but even a little progress is better than nothing,right? 
                                       
I had to sew a dozen of these small bibs for the dolls.I couldn't complete the embroidery part when my nieces were here so I worked on that earlier this week and mailed it to them..
                                       
I started working on this blue/yellow needlepoint project for a friend.When there were only a few stitches left I ran out of the dark yellow and blue threads :( . Since my nearest LNS is 50+ kms away from my place this one will go to my UFO basket for now.
                                       
I worked on the design of this shisha piece few months back,started the actual stitching this week..so far am happy the way it's turned out..still lots more to stitch.
Apart from these I did some sketching,some experiments with inktense blocks worked but a few turned out to be a total disaster..

Happy stitching!

    oh you reminded me that i want to do some shisha mirrors on a piece...and those inktense blocks. i have used the pencils for a while and love them. i bought a tin of the blocks but haven't gotten to try them yet...so much to do. wouldn't it be nice if we could buy some time.

    Love the needlepoint embroidery. I'm doing my first crosstitch(kit from Anchor) and straining my head and eyes. I bought it for my niece but she dint have time so I started doing it.Is needlepoint as minute as crossstitch? I forgot the count of the aida cloth on which I'm working. It is part of the kit from Anchor.

    how cute are those doll bibs, your nieces dolls will be the best dressed in town. Very neat canvas work what a shame you have run out of threads. Beautiful piece of floral stitrching

    Thanks Deanna,Wendy,Leela,Shami, Margaret and Sangheetha.

    @ Sangheetha - Yes,it is as minute as cross stitch.In fact cross stitch is easier than needlepoint because the number of threads vary for each stitch in needlepoint.and the thread count is also higher.Most of the Anchor kits have 14 ct aida.
