Dolce from Golden Kite , 11 page done

I've been jumping around a bit on this one because I really want to see the different parts:)

It's moving well, some parts are more confetti heavy, like the flowers and greenery. Others are really fast and at times I've been able to knock out a page in 2 days! Tent stitching is great:)

Titania is framed , and a gift for a stitching friend.

Got her framed at Michaels, but Js DYI get the mat at a specialty framing shop. Michaels is not so good at custom frames in anything other than a square or rectangle. 

This is Chatelaine Hummingbird Mandala minus the border. It is a gift for a special friend. 

And... Now she's done:)

Here she is, all done, washed and ironed. 

I took her to Michaels for framing to use the awesome framing coupon I got in the mail. 

I can't believe she's almost done!

I started Titania in Jan 1 of this year and I think she will be done this week. I'm so pleased with how fast tent stitching is :))

New Project

I usually plan my new project for a long time but this one just reached out and grabbed me with both hands. I couldn't stop thinking about it, I absolutely love the colors, the draped clothing, her beautiful face, the flowers, the water- everything! So I just started her:)

It's called Dolce Far Niente, from Golden Kite. It's huuugggeee, something like 140 pages. It's going pretty fast so far, 5 pages in, I'm tenting her on 25 count lugana. 

I don't want to stop, but I really need to finish off Titania ( Michaels has a great framing coupon that expires at the end of July) 

I also am stitching a BIG gift for a friend which I will post when it's done. ( hint - it's a Charelaine)

This is the finished picture. 

Quick update on Titania

Here she is! Only 2 more full pages and a few partials:)))

Titania from Este

I've finished another row of Titania, leaving about 6 pages (some of which are partials) The hardest part is her hair, which is almost done! She is a bit wrinkly from my hoop. 

 I love her:)
