March WIPocalypse - Olga Has A Head!

The full moon has rolled around again so it's time for a WIPocalyse report. I added another start to my list to remind me of the season of Lent. 


La D Da Psalm 103
stitched on 28ct Blended Needle Parchment
using DMC floss






La D Da Psalm 103 was a quick stitch. Now I'm hunting for a suitable frame for it. I cut my fabric a little short,especially top and bottom, so I'm hoping I don't run into any problems with framing.
Following this finish I moved on to Plum Street Samplers Olga.






Olga has gained a head since my last posting. Isn't she just the cat's meow!? I love the expression on her face. She's got that look. You know, the one that says," Don't even think about it!"
That little appendage beneath her belly is actually the stem of a pumpkin resting at her feet.
There really isn't a whole lot of stitching remaining in this piece so I should have it finished off in a few days. Famous last words, lol!


Besides these two I also managed to finish two smalls, BBD Breath of Spring and PSS Got Luck. You can see pics of them on my previous post.


I'm pulling fabric and floss today for another small stitch. I have both an Easter and a St. Patrick's Day one in the wings. Haven't decided which I'll start first. Once Olga is complete I'm planning on moving on to With Thy Needle & Thread Feather Your Nest. It's a great spring start! 
Hope you are enjoying a good week and that there is some time to put needle to fabric.

  15. That finish is lovely and I quite like the sentiment.

    That is the look Hunter gives me when I try to take pretty pictures of him. "Please Mum I'm a boy...I am not pretty"

  21. Inspiring finish Lynn :o)

    Olga certainly does have that look doesn't she? LOL! You're so close!

  22. Olga is looking great. Definitely a cat with attitude! What a lovely La D Da finish, perfect for this time of year and you've picked a lovely one to stitch next.

  23. Your La D Da is so pretty. I cannot tell how short you cut the bottom, but unless you are having it matted, I bet you have plenty of room for framing. I have at times left less than two inches and never had a problem.
    Your Olga is fantastic! Love the colors. Nice work!
