In the meantime I can show you a couple of pictures of recent stitching finishes that I managed to upload before the cable died. The first is a sweet Blackbird Designs piece called Breath of Spring which I completed the stitching on a couple of years ago. I've been wanting to try a finish involving lace with this one but I'm sewing challenged so I've been putting it off for some time. Finally I got up the nerve and gave it a try. Here are the results.
Not bad for a first go if I do say so myself!
The second finish is Deer Pinkeep by Cottage Garden Samplings.
Besides these two, I continue to stitch on Three Tulips. This is actually completed except for the very bottom of the urn that the rabbit sits on. I wasn't figuring in the fact that I used two strands of floss on the 32 ct rather than one on 36ct so consequently I ran short on floss. I'm just waiting for an order which should arrive any day now and this can be finished up fairly quickly.
For now I'm catching up with Love Thy Neighbour and weighing my options for my next start. I have several things I want to get to all at the same time in addition to a piece I promised to stitch for a friend this year. There are just not enough hours in the day!
I hope to be back very shortly with pics of the above two projects. I also received some very sweet RAKs this week (Thanks Cath and Vonna!) that I would like to share pics of with you. So until that time, I hope spring has landed your way and you are enjoying some milder weather. I'll leave you with some recent spring visitors to our yard!
What sweet finishes! Noone would know that was a first attempt with the lace it looks perfect - well done! Hope your cable gets sorted out soon, technology is a pain when it doesn't work isn't it? Lovely to see the visitors returning to your yard, have a lovely week,

Hello Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI do hope you can sort out the cable issue. Some lovely finishes and those visitors are beautiful.
Happy days.

Hope you get a cable soon! We have to see all you've been stitching. Great job on your finishing, especially with the lace!
ReplyDeleteWonderful stitched finishes and very lovely feathered friends you have captured.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is only the cable that is broken. The same thing happened with my previous camera. I actually sent it in for repairs, not realizing it was the cable. :/
ReplyDeleteYour finishes are lovely! I've wanted to try using lace for a finish, but I haven't gotten up the courage.
Hope you get your tech problems solved soon Lynn, I'm sure you'll find a replacement cable. Great finishes! I really must pull my sewing machine out some time soon.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Fingers crossed it is the cable!
ReplyDeleteYour finishes look great
Beautiful finishes Lynn! I actually used that BBD pattern for an exchange recently. I love the lace finish. Looks great! Hope that camera issues will get fixed!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes. I hope that it is the simple issue of the cable.
ReplyDeleteI love y our sweet finishes Lynn! That Easter Bunny one with lace is adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the deer pinkeep pillow is cute as a button!
I hope your camera is fine and your cable is the culprit!
