Fractal Bookmark Comes Out of Hiding!

I am diligently working on Sarah Braizear's satin stitching, but I do need to switch it up a bit as I can only do this satin stitching for just so long in one day. It is intense with my eyes having to really focus to get it (somewhat) right.

That being said, I pulled out Fractal Bookmark 705 by Cross Stitch Collectibles  yesterday. I haven't worked on it since the end of March, in fact.  It is fun working on this beauty again, and the colors really fascinate me as the design develops.

Thanks for stopping by today!

My Latest WIPs

It has been a fairly productive stitching month. Here are some updates of most of the things I have stitched upon lately. 

I have been working on Sarah Braizear 1829. Wow, she is a big one. I started this piece almost two years ago.  I hope to finish it this year, but who knows?

I have also been plugging away on Fractal Bookmark 705. I started this one on January 1 and am stitching it on 28 count over one.  I love how this looks, but it is slow going as there is a lot of confetti stitching.

I started a Summer Tea Towel from a kit I purchased at French General back in 2018.  I love how this is looking, and I will finish it sometime soon.  Lots of lazy daisies and french knots...no other stitches are required.  This is my first time using Cosmo Embroidery Thread.  I may need to order more thread before this one is done!

Stitching Along...

I have been busy stitching quite a bit lately.  It's been a great way to start the year, to be sure.

Here is a photo of the Fractal Bookmark. I have worked on it more since I took this photo, so there will be another update soon.

I have also worked on Sarah Braizear 1829.  I managed to finish the hart (deer) and also I started on some one- over- one lettering.  It is such a pleasure to return to this piece! 

I am also working on a 2020 Weather Graph piece using Stitchin' Mommy's weather chart.  I have just finished my 2019 Temperature Quilt, and I'll be posting that one soon.  Here is the Weather Graph that shows January 1- February 1 temperatures. 

Thanks for visiting here today.   We've had a lot of sunny days, and it seemed fitting to place some harvested lemons from our backyard tree into a vase for display.  These roses are the last of the season, to be sure. It's time to cut back those rose bushes soon.  

Fractal Bookmark- Progressing Along

I have so been enjoying this fantastic piece from Cross Stitch Collectibles. Sure, there's lots of confetti but that pays out in the amazing color combinations in the design. 

I've worked on it almost every day since the first.  This past weekend was filled with great family times at our home, so during those days the piece was set aside. This one demands more concentration than that situation would allow. 

Here is progress as of today.

The colors in the top right corner reminded me of butterscotch as I was stitching.  I really don't eat much sugar anymore, and since that dietary change I have noticed that certain colors and random items I see remind me more of sweets than before when I ate lots of treats.  Isn't that funny?
