Another Bin O Shame Finish!

I finished this up moments ago. Another one that was started then set aside from the Bin O Shame. This makes the third one this year. Go me! Now I don't feel so bad about starting Maleficent, haha! 


Well, at any rate, here it is! 

Design: Adeline Ogier 1873 (Collection Privee)

Designer:  GiGi R

Fabric: unknown 32 count cream linen

Fiber Used: Thread Gatherer's Silk n' Colors  #194 Aged Plum

Stitcher's Notes: Part of the charity event Ricami Amo per l'Emilia in 2012. Stitched only part of the design as I truly did not feel like stitching either the border or the alphabet. :)

In other news, if rumor be true, tomorrow my favorite hockey player of all time, Martin Brodeur , will be announcing his retirement. I was hoping to see him play one more time before he hung up his skates for good, but alas, this is not to be. I wish him well and thank him for all that he has contributed to the sport I love so dearly. 

Well, I best be off. Need to clean up the area and find something for lunch. Hope everyone is having a fantastic week! :)

La Belle Lettre C finish

Managed to finish this up late last night. I had started it at some point in time to test out fabric and floss combinations for the chart. While I like this combination, I am not sure that I will stitch the whole chart with this fabric. It was of a pain to stitch on due to the unevenness of the linen. Ah, well. That was the whole point of the exercise, eh ;)? 

Well, here are the fruits of my labors:

Design: Wreathed C taken from the design Le Belle Lettre C

Designer: GiGi R

Fabric: 28 count Silk and Linen linen in Touchstone

Fibers Used: Gumnut Yarns Stars silk floss in #991 ecru and Caron Collection Waterlilies in #017 Blue Lavender

Well, I best be off. Got some cleaning up to do in my stitchy area. Hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend! :)
