Got another one under my belt and about four more queued up to be worked on, LOL! Had a lot of fun with this one despite the 32 count fabric. I know there are folks out there who won't touch a thing under 40 count, but really, my eyes ain't what they used to be and the 32 count is a bit of a strain. I'm happy this one is finished and I'm off to my next finishing adventure! :)
Here are the stitchy notes and the picture! :)
Design: Red House In Winter
Designer: Diane Williams for Little House Needleworks
Fabric: Vintage Belfast linen 32 count count in Country Mocha
Fibers: Crescent Colours in Bing Cherry, DMC in 433, 712, 3031, 3362, and 3838.
Errata: Used DMC 3362 in place of 3051 as I did not have that skein. Added smoke coming out of chimney on right hand side. The original design does not have this element.
Well, I best be off. I have to stitch my behind off tomorrow and Monday, for I hopefully begin work on Tuesday! :D
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :)

I have my last finish for May. I probably won't finish the piece I am working on in time, however, it will be the first finish of June, and that's ok. :)
This one was a really quick piece. I'm not real happy with the outcome, as I wanted the border done in Crescent Colours Grannie Annie, however, I am almost out and did not have enough to stitch the border. I'm on stash lockdown for the moment, which sucks, but if there's no money, there's no money, yea? More's the pity, n'est pas?
Here's a pic of the completed stitching. It worked up in an afternoon, which is cool. I'll get around to working it up again eventually. :)
Design: Bee Happy
Designer: Be Courdant
Fabric: 28 count natural Pearl linen
Fibers: DMC 310 and Crescent Colours Sunshine Girl and Bandana
Here is the WIP I currently have in the eight inch Q-Snaps. I am enjoying stitching on it, I am just disappointed in the fabric. I took the fabric out of another kit (Little Witch by Shepherd's Bush, to be exact) and I know this piece of fabric on its own had to cost 15 bucks or more. Which is fine, I don't have an issue with that, however, the mottling is only on *one* side. Now, don't get me wrong, I know I can only stitch one side at a time, and it's not like the back could be seen *anyway*, but it just seems wrong to me, that it's only the one side that is pretty and not both. Is that so wrong of me? Well, it's not like Zweigart asked me for my input, yea? ;) Anyhoo, on with the show! :D
