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 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.

My Order Is In

Dimensions Bear Ornament
Dimensions Pet Ornaments
Look what arrived in my mailbox today. Ordered them Sunday night from 123stitch. Have I mentioned how much I love that site?? Now I just have to get them stitched up in time to put on the tree that goes up Thanksgiving weekend. Anyone else doing any Christmas stitching? Would love to hear from you. Until next time, keep on stitching.

New Addition

MOLLY   
Here's a pic of the latest addition to our family. She weighs in at a little over 2 lbs. and is 4.5 months old. She's a Pomapoo - half Pomeranian and half Poodle. I'm told she isn't suppose to shed. Anyone out there have a Pomapoo that knows? So far Zoe is not a big fan. Let's hope that changes soon.

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.
