Work in Progress Wednesday


 A tiny bit of progress was made on this butterfly.  I have been wanting to try the Over Under Cross stitch.  My friend Queenie has great instructions for it here https://queeniepatch.blogspot.com/2026/01/sunday-stitch-school-lesson-350-over.html    It is quite a pretty stitch and easy to do!

It is a bit hard to see.  Each wing has it in the lower part.  I probably should have used a colour of thread that stands out better.  Or put it in a different location with better contrast.  Oh well!

    Thank you for trying out the Over-Under Cross Stitch and adding a link to my blog.
    I agree, the two crosses you added are playing hide-and-seek; they are in 'camouflage', blue on top of blue. I hope you will find the Over-Under Cross easy enough to use again.

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

Mandala Monday

Image
 Often, when I create a loose and free mandala, I don't like it.  They are fun to create and that should be enough.  I am happy to say that this loose mandala is one that I do like.  It is truly a mixed media piece.  I used transfer foil, paint, crayon and markers.  So fun!
