I have been busy buying a "few" things recently and here they are! Nina Threads I got the pink thread for the Mirabilia chart Wherefore Art Thou which is all done in specialty threads. I had never heard of Nina's Threads so I had a look at her Etsy shop and she has some lovely threads and fabric Etsy shop: NinaHandDyed Next is some Primitive Hare charts and pins and finally some Lavender & Lace and Butternut Road charts from Trade Me at $4 each! bargin Until next time, happy stitching!

Finally it's finished!!! Chenonceau Loire Castle By Chatelaine Designs I started this in July 2016, so in the scheme of things it didn't really take me too long (I am a slow stitcher and have 1000 other WIPs as well) Of to get it framed now and I think I will get out my Lake Como Mandala and do some of that. Progress so far... Happy stitching! Michelle

WIPs and Stash

Another update on Chenonceau I have started on the outer border so not far to go! I have also had another start.... Opps! 28 count Ivory evenweave This is another Chatelaine Design called Pompeji, I'm loving the colours so far! I have also had these Teresa Wentzler charts for a long time, so I finally purchased some fabric to start them Magical Night will be stitched on 28 count Ice Blue evenweave and Carousel I have 28 count Grey evenweave. Never ever again will I do a Teresa Wentzler piece on 32 count linen, I value my sanity lol. I have also brought New York by Thea Gouverneur. Now this has 18 count aida in the kit and I will not be using that, mostly because I don't like aida much so I think I will get some evenweave 28 count. It is stitched with one strand and I am considering using 2 strands. Obviously there won't be enough thread in the kit so I will have to match up from my DMC threads . Has anyone used 2 strands? How does it look? ...
