Wow!! I cannot believe I have left it so long since giving an update on everything.
This post should surely make up for that :)
First things first though, my summer fairy. Throughout the half term holiday I have been stitching like crazy and I'm pleased to say the stitching side of her is 100% complete, I'm now working on attaching the beads which I am finding an absolute nightmare to say the least. I'm using invisible thread to attach the beads and although what I have done looks fab, I find it rather difficult to see the thread lol. I'm hoping to have her beads attached way before Christmas.
I also have an update on my TUSAL jar. For some reason lately, I've not been able to remember when TUSAL time is. So here is my TUSAL jar. I have now emptied the contents into a zip lock bag, ready to use as stuffing (saves wasting it).
I have also started a new project, a little sentiment stitch from Cross Stitch Crazy, although I can't quite remember which issue it is from. Here is my progress after 2 evenings of stitching.
I've also completed a few other little things in between both the fairy and the sentiment stitch. In October, I took part in a small halloween exchange. Here is what I stitched for my partner:
This is what I received from my partner:
I have also stitched a little christmas design as an in-between project. This is what it looks like now, although I do plan on turning it into a little christmas tree decoration.
I do hope that I haven't bored you all silly, and if you have read to this point, then thank you :) I really do appreciate all comments received.
Until next time,
Keep safe and Happy Stitching :)

You've certainly been busy! The fairy looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder why you can't see that invisible thread :-)
It would be fab if I could even see a slight shadow of it (hubby can see it from other side of room).
