Some serious stitching updates...

Can you believe it? I can't. It's been 4 months since the last update! Ack! I've been trying to stitch more and more lately though. Just for my sanity. Since I finished a small project I rewarded myself by starting a Big A$$ Project. Smart, right? I'm also running again and trying to train for my first half marathon. Stitching and running both relax me but since it's still a wee bit chilly outside for me to run, I've sat inside stitching instead. No complaints though. ;-) Ok... on to the stitching, shall we?

Remember in my last update I hadn't posted the actual piece I stitched of Brightneedle's Little Ones: "Our Souls Entwine"? Well, here it is. Stitched one over one on 28ct cream linen using the called for Week's Dye Works floss. I like how the frame matches so I'm happy it came out great.I finished this a couple days after Valentine's Day. Better late than never, right? L*K "Love" on an unknown 28ct linen from my stash using the called for WDW and GAST.Here we have Blackbird Designs "Easter Parade". It's stitched 2 over 2 on 30 ct. Alabaster from R&R using the called for GAST and WDW floss. Just in time for Easter!
I finished this one sometime last year around Nov. I think, but haven't posted it until now. This is Elizabeth Designs' "Woodland Cottage". It's stitched on 32 count raw Belfast Linen using the called for WDW and DMC floss and Mill Hill beads. I absolutely LOVE all of ED's cottages and hope to stitch all of them someday. I've only stitched "Climbing Rose Cottage" and this one so far.
And last, but not least, ED's "Forest Song". I stitched it on a 28ct unknown linen in my stash. It has some speckles on it so, I thought it'd be neat to try it out. So 2 over 2 using DMC and a skein of Thread Gatherers for the leaves.
That's all folks! I have quite a few other finished projects to post, but I'll get to those some other time. I've run out of time! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my stitching update!
