An almost finish ^__^"

Well, darn it. I almost had Christmas Tea finished today until I started to stitch the snowflakes. Apparently, the lovely Vanilla Pudding color blends right into the fabric. (Sigh) Sorry for the gloomy photo! It's a bit touch and go with the clouds today :(


Design: Plum Street Samplers, 'Christmas Tea'
Thread: Belle Soie threads
Fabric: 32 ct platinum linen
Finished: 7/26, 29, 31 and 8/10-11


So it looks like I'm going to have to stash this design away temporarily until I get a chance to go by Needle Delights in Pensacola. I was thinking since the Vanilla Pudding threads blend in, I should try for white or maybe even a nice light blue. Who knows? I'll have to bring my stitched piece with me and ask the lady at the shop for some color ideas ;)

Well, at least this design is almost finished :) And the snowflakes really don't take that much time to stitch up. LOL I had a few stitched up before undoing them because the color was blending too much into the background.

When I finally get this pattern finished, I will take another photo. Hopefully I'll have plenty of light so you can see the lovely Belle Soie colors properly!

The other bit of good news is I get to start another project!! Yay! I'm thinking maybe one of my JBW fruit designs.

Maybe I'll get lucky this week and my bookstore will have the newest JCS magazine in stock. It has those autumn ornaments I was talking about earlier :)

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! Happy stitching!
