needle nook

Last week was pretty crazy for me ,spent most of my time book keeping and writing instructions for a couple of my old favorite projects.But I was able to complete my needle nook project from inspirations magazine amidst all the chaos :)

                                    

It's a cute little design ,isn't it? I would like to have a small project preferably surface embroidery in between bigger projects with lots of details.What about you, do you always have a fun little project in your WIP basket like me?

Happy stitching!

black n white sampler

I finished my black 'n' white sampler.Yay!

                                        

I stitched for almost 30+ hours to complete this sampler.

                                          

This close up picture collage is for you Wendy...

I'll post pictures of the other filling stitches from this sampler in another post.

I always record the number of hours I spend on a project when I work for a commission but I sometimes don't bother to record if it's a personal project..

What do you do? Do you keep a count even if it's a personal project ?

Have a great weekend!

Happy stitching!

Blue flower...

I was about to show y'all a new project but unfortunately couldn't take photographs because of bad weather..It's raining heavily for the past 2 days here.

So I've decided to show the progress in my needle nook project from Inspirations  magazine..

                                      

The leaf on the left bottom is fly stitch filling with 3 shades of green..Usually I fill the leaves from the tip but this time I've decided to try from the base, it worked out too..

                                          

I totally fell in love with this blue flower...

Happy stitching!
