Take a Stitch Tuesday

I really enjoy participating in Take a Stitch Tuesday with Sharon B.  Especially when it is such a fun stitch.  This week was Raised Cross Stitch.  I am pretty sure that I have tried this stitch once before but then forgot about it.  So my attempts this week are not the best.  First one on the left is really bad and needs to be removed.  The second one in the middle is acceptable and I will keep.  Third one not so good again.  I did not want to end on a sour note so I gave it one more try and used some Glisten Gloss Estaz thread (bottom photo).  I love the way it turned out.  I really must practice this stitch some more so as to keep it in my head!

    It IS a difficult stitch. I think the thread is one of the keys, maybe perle cotton is the best...

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
