I didn't get to work on it for very long, but I did make some progress.
The dark navy fabric makes taking a picture difficult, but my five year old son could easily identify who this was, so I consider that a success!
Until next time!

Santa
Yesterday I spent some time working on Santa by Jim Shore for Mill Hill.
I didn't get to work on it for very long, but I did make some progress.

Jeweled Apple
I have a finish! Down to 58 WIPs! Woo Hoo! I finished Jeweled Apple by Mill Hill!
I am waiting to cut it out until I have some proper backing for it, but it is done! Yay!
Until next time!

Stitch Maynia - Santa
Day 26 was Christmas themed as I started Santa by Jim Shore from Mill Hill.
This Mill Hill kit is different than the others I've worked on. It's a larger piece (5"x5" when done), and it's on fabric rather than perforated paper, but I love it! I adore Jim Shore's work and have several pieces in my home. This will be a great addition to my Christmas decor when it's done. Here is where I got to yesterday:
I couldn't get a good picture with the flash that didn't make all of Santa's beard look completely blurred. It stitched up rather quickly! I think the many, many, MANY beads in this will take the most time, honestly! But that's awhile off yet!
Until next time!

Stitch Maynia - Jeweled Apple and Letters From Nora - T
Day Twenty was a two-for-one day! The first piece I worked on was another Mill Hill kit called Jeweled Apple.
This piece will likely end up as the suggested magnet when it's all said and done. I just love the patterns on this, it's so unique! Here is where I got to yesterday:
This is another one of those pieces I think will have more beads than crosses by the end of it! I could have continued, but I was excited about piece number two for yesterday, which was Letters From Nora - T by Nora Corbett.
My daughter's name starts with T and it is my hope when this is done that this can be a piece she keeps for the rest of her life. It's whimsical enough to be good for an almost nine year old to enjoy, but mature enough I think she could keep it with her when she's an adult and out on her own. This is where I got to yesterday:
I'm stitching this on 28 Jobelan in Willow Wisp from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie using the suggested Classic Colorworks threads. I'm looking forward to when it comes up in the rotation again!
And one last reminder, tomorrow is my 35th birthday (yay!) and the day I will be drawing for the winner of my giveaway (double yay!) so make sure you sign up if you haven't had a chance! You don't want to miss out!
Until next time!

Stitch Maynia - Wine Glass
Day Fifteen marks the end of the "official" Stitch Maynia but as everyone who reads this blog knows that I'm not stopping at Day Fifteen! Yesterday I started working on Wine Glass by Mill Hill.
This is an adorable kit FULL of beads and considering I was drinking a glass of wine while I was working on this, I did not finish all of the beads last night, but I did make it this far:
One more evening of beading will have this done when it comes up next on the rotation!
We're now on Day Sixteen, or Day One of Stitch Maynia Birthday Edition. I have started sixteen pieces up to this point, so I have another nineteen to go to reach the birthday number of 35. I don't have nineteen days left in the month, so there will have to be a few days where I work on more than one project. Maybe today will be one of those days! We shall see!
Until next time!

Stitch Maynia - Snowflakes
Woo hoo! Day Eleven was a start and a finish all in the same day! I started and completed Snowflakes by Mill Hill yesterday:
It was really nice to have a quick stitch like this to mark off the list. I have several Mill Hill kits in my stash just for this very reason. I enjoy beading a lot, though this was my first time to use bugle beads in addition to the seed beads. I like the dimension they add!
I'm not sure how I'm going to finish this one yet. It came with a magnet, but I don't really think I'll finish it that way. My husband and I give our daughter snowflake ornaments every year, so I may make this her ornament for the year, or I may just make it a separate decoration. I'll decide closer to Christmas and will wait to cut it out then.
Until next time!
