Another full moon and another WIPocalypse update

Well, here I am. Back from my Silent Retreat, energized and transformed. I will tell you about this retreat in the next post. Today I want to do a quick update on my stitching. I have finished Stitcher's Alphabet:


Under 'M' there is a little gold heart. I really wanted to put an embellishment there but all my hearts were just a little to big. At the end I stitched the heart with a blending thread. I think it looks OK. The finished piece is 6" by 6" and I think it would look lovely on the top of a sewing box. Now I'm on the mission to find a right box...

I also worked on the 'Thine is the trick and the treat' and, I must say, I'm very happy with my progress. I'm over half way done!



So long my friends,
Evalina

  3. That is a wonderful finish! It's a lovely piece and I think the heart looks great. And I really like Trick and Treat, which is strange because I'm not that much of a Hallowe'en person. You're coming along beautifully on it.
