SAL #4 Puppy Love - update 2

My 2nd progress report on the puppies.

Almost there ...

Puppy #1

Puppy #2

Puppy #3

So only one to go (since I am only doing 4), and lets say Puppy #4 has all its crosses in place as of this morning and only needs the backstitching and french knots.

Blogversary Exchange : from Angele to Olli

Thus, there are many parcels on the way to their destinations. One of the parcels has been very quickly delivered, there was just a day between sending and receiving. That is an advantage of sending domestically. But enough about sending and receiving, look what I got from Angele!

I am very happy with those funny cats, they really like it! The other gifts I can use well into my hobbies. Angele, thank you!

deadline coming soon!!

Everyone is working great but remember.. deadline is coming soon :p
Next week, all parcels should be travelling across the globe, ok? :)

SAL #4 Puppy Love - I've Started!

I've had an idea in my head for a version of Puppy Love since before Nia announced it as this year's Stitch-A-Long. Finally, on Friday I had some time to sit down and plan the layout for what I want to do.

My layout plan

I'm going to be making just three of the puppies, and I have a lovely 9 X 4 inch frame that I will put them in when I'm done stitching. I've got a fair bit of free time this week so I think the stitching will go pretty fast.

Saturday

I got a good start on my first puppy on Saturday and by Sunday he was nearly done. I'm stitching them at 16 count on a piece of mint green Belfast linen. The colour is much prettier in person, but my camera doesn't seem to be capturing it well.

Sunday

This is my first time making one of Margaret's puppy designs, (I'm more of a cat person) but I'm really loving these little guys. When the picture is finished, it will be a gift for my significant other. Though not a surprise gift, since he's seen me working on it and already asked who it was for!

Thanks for looking everyone!

update!! :)

Blogversary Exchange

2013 Easter Exchange
Lentochka posted her parcel to Joey with registration, unfortunately, she's been trying to get more info to track her package and nothing =/ Lentochka is considering to start working on a second package, the first is probably lost..
So, it's sad that Joey is still waiting but we know that sometimes the post office doesn't work as they should! I had packages lost in the past and I'm sure some of you know that feeling too =/ But I'm not saying that Lentochka failed, she's been working on this, she's been in contact with me, all good. That's the right way to do things :)
Joey, sorry for the delay but don't think that we forgot about you, it was bad luck on the mail but you'll get your gift! :)

2012 Winter Exchange
More good news, Gislene received her first Pixie Parcel, from Valérie :)
Mail in Brazil takes a lot of time, there are more packages on the way, I'll keep you updated ;)

Hi all! I started my first puppy, as I had told Nia, the beginning of June.  It's coming along nicely, and I am happy to do them each on a separate fabric for gifts.  Happy Stitching to everyone!!  :)

Blogversary Exchange » last call !!!

Anyone noticed my name missing? I apologize to the group but this time (for the very-very-first time!!) I won't be participating on our exchange =/ Sorry ladies!
I'm behind on my stitching and goals, sooooo behind!! Of course I'm still here coordenating everything and checking in ;) I'm going to pull all your ears if you don't finish and post your parcel on time!! Are you hearing me?? :p heheheh I really hope this time we won't have missing parcels to anyone!

If someone fails the deadline, I will assume the responsability to send a parcel in her behalf. That's the main reason why I can't participate this time, it's difficult to do it all :p So, I will try to have a pixie parcel ready to ship, if no one needs it, I'll save it for another occasion ;)

DON'T FORGET: Posting until July 1st

SAL #4 one more done!

So, we should post our updates on the first week of each month, I did that already but.. since I took so long to start my SAL, I'm catching up now and I have a second photo :)
Do you mind if I post another update this month?? :p heheheh

Second puppy is done and I hope to have the chance to stitch one more before the end of June! In case you are wondering about their eyes, I will add beads but just when all my stitching is done ;) I don't like to move the fabric on my q-snap with beads already placed, I prefer to leave that for last.

Hope to have another finished to show you on the 1st week of July! :D

Hugs&Smiles,

SAL #4 Puppy Love

My 1st progress report on the puppies.

Puppy #1 complete

I am only planning on doing 4 out of 6 puppies, and I am stitching them on separate pieces of evenweave (dyed with fennel).

and here it is again

As you can see one is all stitched up, so three more to go. And the progress on the next:

Puppy #2 

Hopefully I will have more to show soon,

                                              

Bubbles of love

Hi everybody :)

Here is my gift to my friend's daughter's .
This is my first pillow with a Margaret Sherry's Hedgehog :)

Have a nice day :)

Second puppy

My second puppy is ready! I confused with threads a little, I took white other firm, and it was more white, I noticed it already late, decided to leave as is. Well and together.

SAL #4 Puppy Love - June 2013 update

Puppy, where are you puppy?

All of a sudden I appear to have 2 and half puppies!  There was a while there when I thought that I wouldn't get the first puppy finished... and now I am here to show you that I have actually managed to now stitch 2 and a half puppies!

I must admit that I sort of fell out of love with this design last month... but now all of a sudden I am back in love with it and going along at a great rate of knots.

Puppy Love as at 8 June 2013

Fingers crossed the third puppy will be finished very soon... and then we will be onto the next one.

In the meantime though I need to get my needle and thread warmed up and into the next exchange piece!

Til next time, happy stitching everyone!

Stitching Noni

Sal #4 my update :)

Hi ladies!! :D
I was trying to finish my second puppy in time for this update but...

... there's still a bit missing! This puppy is big :p
Well, I hope to finish this weekend and maybe start the next ;)

I'm stitching on Jobelan fabric, Water lily color. You can't really see it on the picture but Water lily is a little bit green, if you've never seen this color of fabric, here's another picture that might help to see the real color:

Hugs&Smiles,

SAL#3 Autumn Cool Cat finishing

Make a Wish welcome baby

Hello, it has been a long time from my last post.
I made this welcome baby for my friend's newborn, I finished it last March 2013.

(pattern "Make a Wish" from Cross Stitcher #215)

=^.^= Cats MS

Had not used the embroidery of SAL1. My cats were abandoned.

Last week, the sewed together with other tissues that resulted in covers for cookbook.

Liked the results? I hope so.
