catch up - stitching projects part 1

I have been a little busy with some commissioned pieces... 4 in total this year... one you have already seen - the company logo for a friend...

I have 3 more that I have finished...

Two for co-workers

 

 

 and the third one another company logo... I'm not happy with the wording in the banner, but I've stitched it and restitched it so many times, that I am sick of looking at it and don't want to keep them waiting any longer. No matter what I tried I just couldn't get those darn letters correct, with the spacing in the darn banner...

 

 

I also have a happy dance of my own to share... I finished off Sue Hillis'

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious  It was a fun stitch, and as you can I see I definitely changed the colours!  I stitched it on 32ct frozen margarita jobelan by Under the Sea fabrics.  Not sure of the threads as I didn't write those down.

 

I am tempted to stitch it again for myself, as this one was originally stitched as a gift...

catch up mash up

I've got so much to catch up on!  Here I said I would try and be a better blogger, but I just keep getting worse!  but I won't fill the page with excuses, I'll just jump straight into catching up...

Tusal...

I owe two... one for May and one for June.  I have the pictures, but as you noticed I didn't post... so here they are:

May:

 

 

and June:

 



As you can see lots of red and white in there!  I was working on a custom commissioned piece of a company logo for a friend and boy there was a lot of frogging before I got it right! 

Here it is finished...  Just needs a bath, an iron and then we have to frame it and it is off to its new owner.
 

I have 2 more custom/commissioned pieces to do and then that is it for a while... deadlines and I don't mix... though they have all been very generous in regards to the time frame.

I also finished off my nephew's blanket...  so I have at least one Christmas gift all done and ready to go!

Since I have some of that yarn left, I started another baby/stroller blanket... not sure for who yet, just sort of making it....

I've also been stitching other things here and there... since today is Monday, it is also time to show of Cornwall Cottage!  I haven't been stitching on it regularly every Sunday, but I have pulled it out here and there and made some progress... not the best picture, I took it quick with my phone.

I also have a progress picture on my Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious by Sue Hillis...  Such a fun stitch... I haven't stitched the flowers yet as I am not sure what colour I want them... if I follow the pattern or pick something different...

And last but not least, here is my May portion of the 2015 calendar SAL by Palko.  I have June's square all ready to go, I just need to pick a colour.

 And that is it... till next time... happy stitching!

hello...

I'm here, I'm here!  I've been busy stitching, crocheting and with life in general, but I will admit... I've been lazy to post to my blog....I've become a very bad blogger of late, and I'm not liking that... I'm hoping to change this, so please bear with me!

 

I have been working on the Sunday SAL with Barbi and Linda... poor Linda must think I've deserted them!  But as I've said I just haven't posted... I was able to get some stitching in both on the 19th of April and the 3rd of May... nothing on the 26th of April as we were out of town, and no stitching at all yesterday either.

 

Here is where I am with my progress... almost ready to turn another corner with the inside border.

 

As I mentioned above, we were out of town the weekend of the 24-26 and I took my crochet with me... I started a brand new blanket on our road trip, and this is the progress I made while we were gone.

this is where it stands now...

 



It will eventually be a blanket for my nephew, hopefully for Christmas...this is only one panel, and since he is much taller than me, I need to still make it a bit longer before I start the second panel.

I also started another new project... I know what else is new... it is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious by Sue Hillis... I'm doing the version of the project, where it is all stitched as one long word...

 

I am also doing it as more of a monochrome... as seen on one of my stitching groups on facebook that I am a part of. 

Here is my progress so far...

I'm using 32ct Frozen Margarita jobelan by Under the Sea fabrics, and GAST Pine and Nina's Thread in Green Mold so far...

That's it for now... till next time.... happy stitching
