Dees Angel - Update

Well the work on this one continues to be slow the dress is proving to be the nightmare I thought it would be with lots of gold thread and just to top it off I have made a mistake but cant stand the thought of unpicking all that gold thread so Im hoping no one will notice Bring on Christmas and by then this will be finished I will never do this one again So if you want the patten let me know

Bird of Paradise

This bird I did over christmas one year I was really taken with him I thought the colours were just so nice He was ment for my mum but when he was finished she said she didnt want him and I cant throw him out after all the work that went into him So I kept him and who knows one day either Ill find a home for him or I might do something like frame him But dont you think he is georgous.

My Girl No 1

This is the pair to the one that Im currently working one and she is just lovely  I thought you might like to see her

Fishes

This is one of my completed works there are a couple of mistakes in this one but you would never notice them ( I do) But I thought they were a bit of fun and they were a joy to work  Maybe one day I will get round to framing them

My Girl - Update

I have been working hard on this one and finally the gap is now starting to close I can see the eye now  Id like to think that Im now on the home streach but I know there is now alot of confetti stitching to be done Still with a real push Im hoping by the end of September Ill finally be able to say She is done Then I can start my Train Of Dreams.

Okay I have a problem Im hoping someone can solve for me
I really want to do this pattern I think its something very special but I have an awful feeling its done on a black background
I dont really want to do it on black as I find it to hard to work on and Navy is just as bad
Does anyone have any ideas on what other colours I could use
I dont want to do it on white or a pale colour either
Im looking for ideas please

Dees Angel Update

Well this weekend I have been working hard on this one
My aim was to have the wings completed by Sunday Night as I can only work on them in daylight hours
With a real push the wings are now done and Im very happy with the progress on this one
Now Im starting on some blocks of plain colour before I have to go back the balance of the dress, where there is more gold thread to be done
Im not sure which is worse the wings (white on white) or working with gold thread
Still I hope to have her done by Christmas
We will see how I go.

Cross

Ok I have been working on this as part of my 100 stitch a day challenge and I have gotten quite a bit of it done now, almost half way through it
Now Im getting into some big blocks of colour the stitching is fast and easy
I hope to get it done by September
