Close but no cigar


I worked diligently on Adriana all last weekend but didn't get part 3 finished.  And unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any more stitching time since Sunday.  The dogs and I are back to agility training -- good for the dogs, bad for stitching.  Plus we are incredibly busy at work now  -- good for work, bad for stitching.  I'm hoping I can finish part three Friday evening (my only night off from doing dog stuff) -- though I can hear the couch calling  'NAP TIME' already.

Thank you for the suggestions for painting charms.  I read about using nail polish before and will give it a try.  I'm not too sure about spray paint.  I tend to make a royal mess with it.  Spray paints and glues, I'm not so good with -- you gotta know your limitations and those are definitely some of mine.

Happy Groundhog Day!

  3. That's beautiful! I hadn't seen that version of the design before - only the green-on-green version. I stitched that one, as charted by Cross-Stitch-Art. She named it "Birds of Somerset", so I was very excited to find your version and do some googling on the original artist. You can see mine here: http://seeford.multiply.com/photos/photo/2/69

    Thanks for sharing!
