She has feet

-

Sorry the picture's a little wavy. I had it draped over my knees. Anyway, her feet and legs are done and the flower is nearing completion. I'm pretty far down on this page then it's only the last page before I start the back-stitching and the beading. I have white beading thread left over from the chatelaine I did a few years ago. I'm still hoping I won't run out of sparkly purple otherwise I'll have to order it.

    The fairy is beautiful! With the backstitching and beading this one is going to be a sparkly stunner for sure.

 I started this a while ago. The Marcelle afghan. But I was running out of yarn on the final round. Put it away for a while. Then forgot where I put my pattern. Found it again. Frogged everything and redid it with a smaller hook. Also messed up on round 71 four times and didn't realize it until round 73... There were only 74 rounds. 2nd pic is it on my queen bed. Now to pick a new project...

A bit of ADD

I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up. So Monday, I picked up a new cross-stitch, Mystical Wizard. More on that later but here are the colors. Wednesday, I decided to work on one of my sewing projects. A 17.5" stuffed Christmas tree. I was going to make the 12" one but I had enough fabric if I ignored the included cutting diagram and got away with 1/8" less. But come Thursday, I was tired of my cross stitch. There's only so much I could take of stitching blue on blue, and mainly two colors of blue. Of course the upper left is the least interesting part color-wise of this piece. So I switched to The Accolade. I'll include the last photo I took of it (with my old phone) because I didn't get that many rows finished. But not bad for only two days.   And as today is Sunday, I worked on Insanity again. And...

I've had a bad week.

This week has been pretty cruddy to me. It started off with me having to find a new job. My  LinkedIn profile  if anyone is interested. I also had to say goodbye to Onyx. She suddenly went downhill starting on Wednesday. I had her for 12 years and I miss her. As for crafting, I started to get bored with Insanity. Switched over to an afghan I had started a while ago that I found tucked away in my closet (of doom) And have pulled out TW's Romeo and Juliette. Which I don't think I've worked on since I started this blog. I did end up going on a tiny bit of a stash spending spree just because I was miserable. Got the last peacocks and also bought some yarn. I had to order yarn anyway because I'm making an afghan as a wedding present. I leave you with a few of my favorite pictures of my Onyx.
