UFO tuesday - my progress

I decided to divide todays blog into two posts because Blogger has been giving me nothing but headache today when I was trying to publish my pictures.

I didn´t spend as much time as I would have liked to do on my UFO as I had an unexpected visit last night. But I did stitch some blue flowers and you can make out another person as well as white picket fence.

Here is the picture from last week:

And this is the one from last night:

Part 2 Polstitches SAL finished

Part 2 of the Polstitches SAL was published on tuesday. As it was UFO day yesterday I did resist and started it this morning. It was so lovely to stitch this part that I finished before lunch. The directions that Jo gives are great, I thought it would be difficult when I saw it but it wasn´t too hard. Here is a picture of part 2.

Success with Hardanger

I find it very hard to resist a SAL and when it is challenging too I couldn´t say no. The girls at the Attic are doing a SAL. The designs that were chosen come from Loopylou Designs and are Hardanger Projects. We stitch a part of the design every month. We just started this in February. I chose to stitch the Holly Berry Design. I know this is a big project for me and a huge challenge but I know I can get a lot of support and motivation from the girls at the Attic. Here you can see a picture of my Part 1 finished. This picture doesn´t do the project any justice.

Blogger has been teasing me.

I´ve tried for number of times to post into Blogger pictures of what I´ve been doing last week. But it always fails before the pictures get there so I give up. Here I go again.

This is a SAL (stitch-a-long) that I am taking part in on the Polstitches Forum. This is called "Sweet Dreams" and is a hardanger for beginners. This is the first part and we receive a new part every week. I really enjoyed stitching this and am looking forward to part 2.

Again a UFO update

UFO updates seem to be the only posts that make it here. I´m busy with my studies and do not have enough time to stitch. But I did manage to stitch some more flowers.

Here is the before pic.

Here is the after pic.

UFO night last night

Well, tuesday night last night so that meant some stitching on my UFO. It is coming along nicely and actually I am really enjoying stitching it and am looking forward to tuesdays. Here is the before picture.















And this is the after picture.

Mystery X - Happy dance

Finally I am here with an update on Chatelaine Mystery X. I did finished Part 2 tonight with beads and all and it looks absolutely stunning. I did take a picture but I don´t think it shows the project correctly. But this will have to do you will have to imagine the beauty of this.

Chatelaine Mystery X growing

I´m still working on Mystery X and it is going very well. I just love stitching with the silk threads, they are so soft against the linen fabric. This has become a favorite project of mine and I love to see it grow before my eyes. I have finished about half of part 2 and I think it looks more and more beautiful with every stitch I complete. The variegated threads make this piece spectacular. Here is a picture of what I have finished as of tonight.

I can´t do anything but stitch this

Part 2 of Mystery X by Chatelaine was published yesterday. I started yesterday and have worked on it today as well and I can´t put it down. I guess I´ll be working on it over the weekend until I finish. Here is a picture of what I have done so far.
