A Stitching Love Affair

I am rather remiss in my postings but anyway here I am again. I actually have finished 2 cross stitches!!! The first is Afternoon in Provence The second finish is the Eiffel Tower bookmark which I still have to make up Lake Como mandala is coming along nicely, I am on the second villa and hopefully I can finish that soon. I usually only work on this at weekends hence it takes me a while to do. Before After Unfortunately you can't see the sparklies in the fabric which makes it look really nice. I am trying really really hard to finish some WIP and we all know sometime you just lose the mojo to finish a particular WIP that you have been doing for years, I know I have quite a few of those! I don't really have a rotation, I just stitch what I feel like doing but sometime I have an urge to dig out some old ones and put a few more stitches in. It is coming into winter here so that usually means more stitching time! happy stitching ...

The few WIPs I have been working on needed an update, so here they are! Afternoon in Provence by Dimensions  I have nearly finished the first picture, just some back stitching to do Next is Parisian Street Scene by Maria Diaz This also is nearly finished, just a few more stitches to put in and back stitching to complete Pattini d' Argento by Cuore e Batticuore I love this one, simple and fast to stitch up! Also their other patterns are divine! And lastly Italian View Before: After: There is quite a bit of confetti stitching on the outside of this which does drive me a bit mad but I will get there eventually! Daylight savings has started here in New Zealand so now I can go for run/walks and cycling after working which makes me very very happy! Bring on Summer!!! Happy stitching! Michelle
