Mermaid Update
Caffinated Stitcher
I just have a small update on my mermaid to show you this morning. I managed to get the flesh areas, the vase and some of the beads put on since showing my first pic of her. I have noticed on this mermaid that some of the beads don't have the correct number of squares allotted for them to fit as they should..where they should. It really doesn't matter too much as unlike Mermaid of the Pearls they are not in an area where it will disturb the look of the whole pic...at least to me anyway.
Last night I finished reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.....that had to be the saddest book I've ever read and had the most unexpected ending. I wanted to read the book before I saw the movie as I like to compare the two. I'm glad I did...I can just see myself bawling in the movie theater. At the same time I bought My Sister's Keeper I also purchased a couple more of her books....I think I will hold off on those for a while lol! Until later......
Happy Stitching!

A Few WIP's
Caffinated Stitcher
I can't believe that I haven't posted anything since the 20th of last month!

I have been working a bit on some things. Probably not as much as I should, but here's what I have.

First up is All You Can Eat by The Prairie Schooler. These little fish are just too cute! I absolutely love how this company uses only DMC floss and the same fabric on all of their designs. It's a refreshing change of pace! I have my eye on a few other designs of their's, but I'm trying hard not to start yet another project...lol!


I got another day of stitching done on The Simple Things by Blackbird Designs. Not bad for only 2 days of work so far. I'm way behind on my plans for stitching from this company, but hopefully I'll get caught up to where I want to be soon.



There was no way I could resist getting started on Mediterranean Mermaid by Mirabilia when I got it in. I had in my stash a piece of 28 ct. Stormy Seas Lugana Opal by Polstitches and it seemed perfect to me. Here's a shot of the entire piece so you can see how beautiful this fabric really is. I'm not making as much progress as fast as I would like on this project as I'm using a hoop instead of stitching in hand like I normally do. The holes on the opal fabric aren't quite the same as on regular fabric to me. Maybe when I get out of the area that needs backstitching I can manage to get back to my "normal" style of stitching and accomplish more faster.



Happy Stitching!
