Slow And Steady...

I don't know about steady but slow definitely describes how Sabrina is going. Sigh! I'm really enjoying stitching her though and this is where she is as of today -

I'm not sure if it looks like a lot of progress but there is some. Honest ;o)

DH and I are planning on getting a propane fireplace (fingers crossed) installed in the living room and I got to thinking... Right now Stargazer is upstairs in the extra bedroom. I wonder how it would look if I put Sabrina off to one side of the fireplace and Stargazer off to the other. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I'm SO excited because today I put the finishing touches on the free pattern that will be given out on Pumpkin Day!!!! I'm quite happy with it so I hope it looks as good when it's stitched up :o) I've also been collecting items for the giveaway. Only THREE more days to go...

Love the way her dress is shaping up. She'll look lovely by the fireplace!

Slow is okay, at least you haven't abandoned her like I have abandoned so many.

Sabrina will be well worth the wait. Looking forward to seeing your Pumpkin Day design.

Every stitch is one closer to the finish. Don't fret!

She's looking wonderful. WE have a ventless gas fireplace and I love it! I like in Alabama so our winters are not brutal like up north but I'm so cold natured, I just love it.
Can't wait for the giveaway :-)

Slow and steady wins the race you know. :o) She is gorgeous even unfinished. Looking forward to pumpkin day.

One stitch at a time ~ Rome wasn't built in a day, how can Sabrina be? She's looking wonderful :)

Slow and Steady is a good thing when it is so lovely ;)

Veronica said...

Sabrina's coming along lovely. I think she'll look great beside the fireplace opposite Stargazer. Do show pics when you have them displayed together :)

I have my own "Sabrina" which is in fact a model from Black Swan Designs, Dragon Heart, but in worse... it's between a WIP and a UFO, I started it years ago, and work on it a little bit some time each year... even if I wish I had already finished it, because it was supposed to be a Xmas present for DH, but as I say to him when he's whining I haven't finished it yet: I said Christmas, but I didn't say which year! lol

Don't worry, one day soon, you'll finish stitching you dear Sabrina ... ;)

Sabrina already looks so beautiful. I'm sure that whatever you decide on how to display Stargazer and Sabrina, it will be well done. Looking forward to see what you are up to for Pumpkin Day!

Sabrina is stunning! We have a propane fireplace in the living room & it makes the room feel & look warm & toasty. Like the boots you have on your Yahoo avatar. I see oodles of plp wearing them down here now. May have to get me a pair of those :)

Julie said...

Sabrina looks very elegant, looking forward to seeing your chart

Jenn M said...

She's still beautiful - I SO admire your ability to persevere through such a project. My limit seems to be 5x7!
I think both "girls" will look GORGEOUS on either side of your fireplace so just go for it.
Have fun on Pumpkin Day! I'll try to pop in but the kids have a day off school so who knows if I'll be able too....

Sabrina is a beauty! Enjoying stitching is more important than stitching fast. Sounds like a great idea to display the two girls together.

LisaG said...

Sabrina is looking lovely, excellent progress.

Carol said...

I still find it amazing how long we can stitch and it doesn't look like we made much progress! Cross stitching really is a labor of love and your Sabrina is just lovely.

I'm sure you'll love your new fireplace, Cathey! Do you have one anywhere else?

Lori said...

wonder what you've come up with. I'm sure it must have a pumpkin on it.

Great progress.

Marjorie said...

She is beautiful! Waiting anxiously for pumpkin day lol

Sabrina is beautiful! She'll look great by the fireplace. :)

I love your gift from Myra--the pumpkin is adorable!

Mel said...

Sharon said...
