Here's my first Christmas ornament finish for the year. Pattern is found in the 2014 Christmas issue of Just CrossStitch.

Where did October go?? I blinked and it was over. I did manage to finish another witch before Halloween as pictured above. Now onto the Christmas stitching :-)

Thought I'd show a pic of my new start that I've titled Summer Fruit. This project like Scuba Fun will be shown in 4 parts so keep your eyes out for part 2 coming very soon.

How's your summer going? Getting in some stitching? Thanks for all of the wonderful comments and I look forward to hearing from you.

Scuba Fun Part 1

Scuba Fun

Got a bit tired working solely on Mini Chelsea so had to mix things up a bit and start a new project. This is 3.5 hours of work. Doesn't look like much now, does it? Tune in for more updates coming soon.

Chelsea Update #14

Page 16 Finished

How is everyone's summer going? Hoping you're getting some stitching in although it is hard with the weather being so nice out. I managed to finish page 16. Four more full pages to "color in" and then I just have 4 more partial pages and she will be finished. Woo Hoo!!

Chelsea Update #13

Pages 13-16 Outline

Thought I'd give you gals an update on Chelsea. I've almost got all of the outlining finished. Now onto the coloring. Unfortunately, it doesn't go as quickly as the outlining but can't wait to see it finished. My goal is to have it completed sometime this year. Keep your fingers crossed for me when you're not using them for stitching :-)

Chelsea Update #12 and a Trip to the Bahamas

Page 10 Finished

Well, finally got page 10 "colored" in. I think she looks more gorgeous with every stitch. At the rate I'm going, it looks like she may get finished somewhere around 2025 :-)

Also took a trip to the Bahamas last week. First time I had ever been there or had ever taken a cruise. Was a little leery at first thinking I would get nauseous but with a little help from Dramamine I did fine. Was definitely an experience I would recommend to anyone. We set sail on The Majesty of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean cruise and visited Coco Cay and Nassau. Coco Cay was like paradise! There was almost 3,000 plp on board with 68 countries represented.

Mini Chelsea Page 12 Finished

Mini Chelsea Page 11 Finished

I worked on this Mini Chelsea design this IHSW. Now of course I didn't complete both pages this weekend alone mind you. I'm not quite that fast.... yet :-)  Looking forward to checking out your blogs to see what all you did.

Chelsea Update #10

Pages 9-12 Outline

Been a while since I showed any Chelsea updates so here she is. TaDa! Looks just like a coloring sheet. Now it's time to color it in.

2 Finished Ornaments

Finished 2 of my Dimensions kit pet ornaments and as you can see have them glistening on my tree. How's your holiday stitching going?

Chelsea Update # 9

Page 8 Finished

Not the best of pictures but as you can see page 8 is finally finished. Woot! Woot!

Chelsea Update # 8

Page 7 Finished

Page 7 is all colored in. Woot! Woot!

Gwendolyn The Great Finish

Hi all. How's your summer going? Hoping you're all getting a little stitching in :-)

Gretel turned out so great that I purchased a few more of these charts.  Here's Gwendolyn - she's stitched on clear plastic canvas using DMC threads and whatever beads I had on hand.

I've Got Mail

Look what came in the mail for me today. Isn't she cute? I needed a small wip to break up the monotony from my big Chelsea HAED wip. Now if I just had her kitted up and ready to stitch....

Chelsea Update # 7

Page 6 Finished

Finally finished page 6 and it was a doozy! Confetti stitching is difficult. Can I get an amen? Love the way it's shaping up though. Pages 7 & 8 are outlined and ready to be filled in.
