Lady in Red Finish?


I think I am finished with the Lady in Red snow globe.  There is supposed to be some decorative back stitching at the base of the globe but I like the plainer look of the unadorned base.  There are also supposed to be some french knots on the wreath but I can really make a mess sometimes when I do french knots so I am undecided if I want to try adding those.
There are 3 more snow globe charts in the package but none of them are calling to me yet so I will set this project aside for now.

Have some happy stitch days.

Lady in Red WIP

I have done some more stitching on the Lady in Red snowglobe.  It's so nice to do some cross stitching again.  This has 4 snowglobe patterns which can be seen here.  I am stitching on 18 count aida fabric instead of the linen that came with the charts.
Happy Stitching!

WIPS


I have started a new Dimensions chart called Deep Sea Fish.  I found the chart on ebay (not the entire kit) so there are some highlighting marks on the chart but nothing to hinder reading of the symbols.  I substituted DMC floss for whatever floss was included in the kit.  I think my greens may be off a little but I don't think it will be too noticeable if you're not looking at the original cover picture - I really don't like to un-stitch this far into a project.

This is where I left off on my Lady in Red snowglobe before I started the Deep Sea Fish so this one will be on hold until I finish my fish.

Snow globe start

I started this snow globe that I ordered from the French Needle - click here to go to the website.
I saw a finish posted on the 123 Stitch message board and I could not stop thinking about how pretty the lady in red chart was.
I didn't think the other 3 charts would be something I might stitch but after receiving the charts I think I like all of them.
I am not stitching them on the linen towel - I have decided to use white 18 count aida.
I am also stitching a verse from the Torah for a Canadian project - click here to read about it.  I am having a bit of trouble with this project for a couple of reasons.
1.  I can not read Hebrew so I must be vigilant about not accidentally turning the chart upside down.
2.  All top cross stitches must go from lower left to upper right corner.  This is the opposite of the way I have been stitching since the 1970s.  I will admit I have had to frog some stitches where I have done some inattentive work and reverted my "old" ways of making cross stitches.
Let me say that I am very honored to be a part of this project so I apologize for complaining just because it is harder than I thought it would be.
December is soon to be upon us so I wish everyone a joyous end of the year, filled with as much stitching as your days allow.
