It's almost time!

Christmas is just around the corner and all the last minute items are getting checked off 1 by 1.  I have not stitched for the last 3 nights and it is terrible!!  I did make some progress last week that I wanted to share with you.  There are only a few more posting times left in 2012 so I better get going :)
 
 
I am officially past the middle on the 2nd row which means I am more than halfway to completing Dutch Beauty.  It is getting more and more exciting as I stitch another motif.
Have a great rest of your week!

  6. Nicola,

    I have started DB 3 times and either the linen or the threads were not just right. I was wondering if you would share your conversion? Your colors just glow!

    Thanks, Ann

    1. Hello Ann, Thank you for your compliments on my Dutch Beauty! I too have started her 3 times :) I do not share my conversions simply because I have found that they are never the same-- especially since this conversion is a few years old and we all know about dye-lots! I had to order myself another skein of silk and it was very different from the original. I tend to play with my conversions and often change them while stitching. Even if I gave it to you, I promise it would not even be close to mine:(. I recommend just trying different colors that you have. I am using Vintage maritime white from Lakeside linen which is one of my all time favorites! Merry Christmas :)

  7. You are making great progress!! I love the deer and still love the flowers. I'll have to find the pretty project bag that holds my small start and get some more stitches into this!
