Welcome to my new Blog. (Hi Carol:) ) Well I have finally got my act together and will try to Blog each day. My friend Carol Sutcliffe has inspired me to start a Blog. Hers is the best I've seen so hopefully I can try to make mine something interesting as well:) My name is Karen and I live in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia. I am married to Brendon and we have a Needlework store in Katoomba called Dragonfly Dreams. We moved up to the mountains about 18 months ago and can not imagine living anywhere else. We just love it.
Ok, onto my stitching. Above is An Open Heart that is my first finish for 2006. I am very proud of it as it feels like I have been stitching this forever. While I think it is stunning now it's finished. I did not enjoy stitching it. This is a SAL I was doing with Carol and Tannia. For the first time I have finally finished a SAL I have started with Carol. I am so glad I have not let her down for once:) One of my goals for 2006 is to keep up to date with my SAL's and Chatelaine projects.
The projects I am currently working on are:
1) Chatelaine - Medieval Town Mandala
2) Chatelaine - Mystery IX
3) Mirabilia - Stargazer
4) Long Dog - Bois De Luc
5) Shepherds Bush - Reeds Stocking
6) About to start a SAL with Carol - Houses Of Hawk Run Hollow
These are all my current works in progress. Following is a picture of my Stargazer progress. I am stitching her on 32ct Lugana in Snickerdoodles from Sugar Maple. I am really pleased with how she is looking on this fabric.
Well, it is getting late so it is time to turn in. I look forward to getting to know a lot more people through My Blog:) |
