Where oh where is the time going Ladies and Gentlemen. I dont feel like I am getting that much done, although I am having a great time. Stitching has been a bit scattered, new summer starts and renewed interests in past summer loves.
I have started this post thinking about what I could share with you all, because it has been over 2 weeks now since the last post. So, I have been working on Fruit of the Spirit, which I realize now I do not have a picture of her, and I am too lazy right now to take any updated ones, so we shall wait for those. But the good news is, I just have to fill in the grass on the bottom, and the words on the very bottom. Sounds like a piece of cake right? Maybe a cupcake??!!
I do have some pics on Rosina Payne for you to see. I had wanted to get her finished this summer, but now, not knowing at this time if that is going to happen. I have Elizabeth Mears circling, getting jealous of all the time I have been spending with Rosina. The perils of jealousy :) I do want to spend my fair share of time with both of them, but there is a new girl in town.... I am going to wait to tell you more about her.......although we find her very, very exciting. She will be ready to make her debut in a few days. Along with the other girls, lets just say there is alot of fighting for the mirror.
I have been making serious progress on the border, and within 3 nights had it finished. I am onto one of the tree motifs right now.
Sorry the pics are a bit dark, and are not as good as I would like them to be, but bad pics are better then no pics right?
I am loving every stitch that she has-- not looking forward to the over 1 verse I have to do, but I am trying to figure out the best way to tackle that, and have heard the best answer so far..... do one thread length at a time, so that it isn't left for the end, and then I can mix it up in between motifs. Brillant :)
So, I will get back to her tonight, I cant wait to share with you the newbie in the bunch. Trust me, she is going to be worth the wait!!!

ReplyDeleteI love your Rosina Payne! I am so happy when you pull her out to show -- yours inspires me every time I see her! I need to pull mine out to stitch. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteRP is beautiful! Good advice on the over one, I do that when I am working on a design with a lot of solid fill in it helps break up the boredom or frustration as the case may be.
ReplyDeletePretty stitches!!
