UGH! This was a project I thought would never end! It's not that I don't like the piece because I really do and you'll see why in a minute but for some reason, it just took SO long to stitch. I don't know if my mojo just got kicked aside or that maybe my interest wasn't there but I'm happy to say that it's 'finally' done ;o)
Here is Esperance by Danybrod -
I stitched it on 32 count Antique White linen with the recommended threads, DMC 610 and 926.
My 'plan' is to finish this as a pinkeep and I have the perfect fabric (I think) that will do the job. I might even add a scissor pocket in the back :o)
It seems I'm going to have some extra time on my hands for the next two weeks. We'll see how focused I can get and maybe after I finish this pinkeep, I can stretch a few pieces and get them into their respected frames! I know I'd feel a lot better if I could clean up those few things and not have them staring at me every day ;o) LOL!
So this ornament sized piece completes the twelve that I had set for my goal! I've got two more little projects on the go right now but I've got to get back to Sabrina. I have no idea where this year has gone so far and if I'm to have her finished by the end of December, I had better get my bottom in gear!

This is a really nice finish. I have 10 finishes this year and counting. They are mostly smalls, I just have to finish up a couple larger projects, then I'll be satisfied.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. I don't even think I have anywhere near that many finishes this year. So Go girl you could manage another 12!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous piece and so perfect for you. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to stitch, but you never know til you start them.
ReplyDeleteDany just showed a new piece on her blog that would be perfect for me. I'm contemplating buying it since you can imagine I have nothing much to stitch!
It's lovely, Cathey! I've had projects that never seem to end before, too, and not BAPs. I don't know what it is that makes them seem endless. *shrug* It happens. It was worth the aggravation.
ReplyDeleteNice finish, I really like the color combo you used.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it.

Oh my favourite colour combination. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the blue/brown combo, can't wait to see it finished up with that perfect fabric!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful!! You are so gifted...always wished I could do cross stitch as I just love it!
ReplyDeleteBlessings...

Congratulations on your finish :)
ReplyDeleteI love the brown/blue combination. Nice finish...you're on a roll!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I really like the blue and brown combo.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful. I love the colors!

Beautiful finish. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteoh! How I missed reading your blog! Definitely one of my favorite places :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes we get stuck in a pattern, no apparent reason, it just happens! :p
Mysteries of the Universe! LOL
I love the colors, blue and brown looks so pretty :)
I bet Sabrina is feeling lonely :p Lol! You're quick, you'll finish her until the end of the year ;)
Love the colour combination on this design, those bunnys are so cute! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect finish, Cathey--I do love those shades of blue and brown together. I wonder why you felt it took so long to stitch?
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering about your Sabrina WIP last night--glad to hear she'll be making an appearance soon :)
Congratulations, this is a wonderful finish. I so love this colour combo, blue and brown.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish! It's a great colour combination. I know what you mean about pieces that you like but just can't seem to sit and stitch. (see my every growing pile of WIPs)
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Cathey! I've been working much more on Angel, and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope to have her done for retreat.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a wonderful finish! I love this design too, can't wait to see how you finish it :)
