I've been working on a piece I started last year called Aria for Christmas by Pam Kellogg. It was originally part of a mystery stitch-a-long but as I never can keep up with them, I decided to save this one to work on just during the holiday season. I really love this design but its huge and Pam's shading is incredible but the constant changing of colors don't always encourage me to work on it. This year though, I seem to have found a rhythm that has me nipping right along and thoroughly enjoying it.
This is progress I had made at the end of last year. The finished piece is styled to be a bell pull. I haven't ever done that kind of finishing before so it should be an interesting journey to get it right!LOL
Another piece I am working on is for a SAL on the Pal's Delight bulletin board. The theme for this month was anything stitching or needlework. I found a cute Precious Moments pattern in my stash called "Because You Count" and I'm about 3/4 finished. Not sure what I'm going to do with it when it's finished. Kind of tossing around the idea of either doing it as a small wall hanging for my sewing room or a decorative pillow for the living room. I'm also toying with the idea of using the wall hanging idea to put on the daughters' room door. They love getting stitched pieces and it is a pretty little thing. Heck, I could always stitch another one for myself again if I really wanted to. LOL
