Summer is Here I'm melting! It's so hot here. But it shall not stop me from stitching! Cross stitch (and ice cream) will power me through the summer!  Progress on Fantasy Triptych Sometimes when you work on a Wentzler, you see an ocean of confetti and think of stitching on another wip. This time around I sat down, rolled up my sleeves and tackled that confetti!  Here's what it looked like the last time you saw it: Fantasy Triptych before And here it is now:                                                                    Fantasy Triptych after  According to my blog I haven't worked on this since december. But I think that I have worked on it more recently than that, so a part of the progress pictured above might not be solely from this week.  There is so much blended floss! Very pleased...

Howdy everybody! It's Friday, we made it to the end of the week! My weekend plans include lots of stitching, reading, and murder mysteries. Recently, I've started using more e-books. I have to be careful not to overspend, it's so easy to browse a digital bookstore and buy a few books! Have to admit though, there's something charming about a hardback book.

I am pleased to report that more of her skirt has been stitched.  Here's what she looked like the last time you saw her: Leilani before  And here's what she looks like now:                                                                           Leila...

A Brief Word Didn't post the Monday update yesterday. Sorry! I got caught up stitching, and watching the Christmas special of one of favorite murder mysteries. Oops! Since there will probably be other times when I neglect to post on Monday, I'm going to re-name it,"Weekly Cross Stitch Update." Moving on to... Fantasy Triptych Progress I decided to focus on the ground this week. Made a slight mistake, but was able to work around it without the frog paying a visit (thank goodness!) Here's what it looked like at the beginning of the week: Fantasy Triptych- before I'm working on the ground in front of the castle. It's the middle panel, and I love the watercolor look of the grass and the dirt. I believe that a little to the left there is a lake. And here's where I got to: Fantasy Triptych- after Huzzah! All of you Wentzler stitchers out there understand! Very pleased with my progress, glad I didn't have to end up frogging, and I ...
