Stitch a Day

Image
My August stitch a day project was done completely with silk.  It was a delight to stitch and I think it turned out rather pretty. I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/ https://kathysquilts.blogspot.ca

Journal Prompt #35

Image
The prompt this week was to use a silhouette.  I was being a bit lazy and googled silhouette images.  When I saw this one it really grabbed me to so I printed it and added some watercolor for the background.  Not sure why I added that big strip of pink.  The quote I used says 'When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness - all good things.'

Work in Progress Wednesday

I think it is done.  The waterfall is beaded to my liking.  Possibly there could be some beads added into the blue water part.  If  I do decide to add beads there it won't be a lot.  Moving onto the binding and backing.

Take a Stitch Tuesday

Image
Triple Chain Stitch  is the featured stitch on  Sharon B's   web site this week.  I decided that I want to try the Take a Stitch Tuesday stitches with beads.  It turned out okay, not great.  I only did one set as I was hoping it would look like a flower.  It sort of does.

Journal Week #34

Image
The prompt this week was friendship.  At first, I was a bit stuck.  I have some wonderful friends.  What could I say about them?  But then I thought about man's best friend.  I know cliche but I am nuts about dogs.  Doing a journal page about the best dog ever, Farley, was a pleasure.  He took a piece of my heart when he passed almost two years ago.  I still miss him.
