More on that slipper hunt.....

Well, some success on finding that slipper for Cinderella - it may not look like much progress but I am pretty pleased with how much more stitching was done - she is one of those very big projects that take a lot of stitching!

 Progress.....

What she will look like one day!

Looking for that lost slipper....

Today for Friday Frolics I have pulled out a very old WIP/UFO..... my darling Cinderella by Mirabilia.

I just checked back on my old posts on my main blog, Kitten Stitching and if you click here you will see that it has been FIVE YEARS since I last stitched on/posted about her!!!!!!!!!  Oh, my goodness!

So, please check back tomorrow to see how much progress I make.

Stitching snow in spring

Hello dear friends,

last Friday I didn't have time to stitch so I made it a Saturday Frolics. As usual I let the Random Number Generator choose among my WIPs and it chose Snow Days by Mirabilia. This would never have been my own choice as last week we had the Beast from the East reigning our weather with such low temperatures that going outside wasn't an option. At all. Since Sunday we have spring, finally.

But then I said "let's face it and stitch snow"! Here is where I left back in April 2016

Of course I couldn't put the project down after Saturday in spite of all the snow and extended the Saturday Frolics a bit until yesterday. This is where I am now

I added all the snow on the right hand side downwards. It's not really a lot but I'm a slow stitcher and I'm quite happy with the result.

Next Friday I will come up with a new WIP - whatever my RNG will choose for me.

Happy Stitching!
Brigitte

WIP #9

Hello friends,

this random number stitching is working great for me. For this weekend (I usually don't stitch only on Fridays on my chosen project but through the weekend) it was WIP #9, Mirabilia's Snow Days which I hadn't touched since March 2014. First I thought, oh no, not a snowman! but then pulled him out and stitched on him Friday evening and yesterday. And the weather was cooperating as it was snowing yesterday, lol.

When I picked him up:

Now:

I'm looking forward to next Friday's draw.

Lisa's update Friday 2nd October

Hi everyone!

So this Friday I went a bit overboard and stitched all day. I neglected everything else and to be honest can't say it worked out well. I felt like the whole weekend I was chasing my tail. But it was fun at the time!!

Before:

After:

Not sure how next week's update will go... I need to frog a major part of the ironwork detail (not seen in these photo's) and re-stitch because they are one stitch too low. I don't always frog mistakes, if I feel like they don't negatively impact the design I leave them in. This time I'm frogging because the ironwork is to match the other side and if I don't it will look lopsided.

Happy stitching everyone!
Lisa

Joining in the fun!

Hi everyone :)

My name is Lisa and I'm just getting back into stitching after a long break. I'm so glad I've been able to join this group as one of the things I loved about stitching was the community and I'm looking to find that community again!

So Friday Frolics for me was a bit weird this week as there was a bit of drama going on in my house that night (which is so unusual) so I quit early.

The WIP I have been working on is Persephone by Mirabilia. I'm not sure how long I will stick to one WIP as I used to work on several at a time but now, after such a long break, I am loving working on just one thing and enjoying the process.

Before (and not ironed)

After (and ironed!)

Persephone is stitched using the called for DMC and Caron Waterlily silk threads. I've chosen to stitch her on Picture this Plus 32 count linen in the Rosewood colour. I left the qsnap on for months and I can see where the fabric has faded I'm hoping once the design has been finished it will not be as noticeable.

Happy stitching, Lisa
