Stitch from stash

Another month went by and I did not buy any stash. This month I mainly worked on 'Mind Independent and Free' designed by Carriage House Samplings. When is done it will look like this:
 and this is my progress so far:

I'm stitching this piece on 40ct linen with silk floss. I guess my eyes are getting older because sometimes it's hard to see these tiny threads...

And look what I saw last week:


a mama bear with a little cub! I didn't dare to leave the car and the picture I took with my phone. Unexpectedly it turned out not bad at all!

So long my friends,

Full moon - WIPocalypse update!

Oh, my! May is already half over and I have no idea where the time went... I did not have a lot of stitchy time but I was able to finish one of my crazies from 2012. It is a little bookmark and I finished it in one evening - cross my heart, it did not take me two years.

This is how I left in January 2012:


and today:

Smalls SAL

It's a last Wednesday of the month and time to share something small. I've managed to stitch a little rabbit ornament from a chart that came together with Rabbit Run. Some day I will turn it to actual ornament, now is just the stitching finished.


So long my friends,

A to Z Challenge - Xena

Yep, that's a name of a place what use to be a village in Saskatchewan, Canada. Last building was demolished some forty years ago.

Happy Dance and Stitch from Stash

My Rabbit Run is finished!


Fabric: Belfast Linen, Antique White 
Floss: DMC
Day started: March 27th
Day finished: April 28th

It was fun to stitch this lovely design and I have done it in one month. Now I'm doing a little rabbit ornament that I can show you next time. It's easy one night finish...

And since I was stitching this project exclusively for a whole month I did not shop at all. I can't believe it but, really, I did not spent a penny on the stash for a whole month (means I can spend more in May :))

So long my friends,
Evalina
