Stitching mad.. or madly stitching...

Since my last post, I've finished the Tribal Rooster on 12/13/2013

So I had moved onto the Dragonfly which I had finished on 12/20/2013:

And then moved onto a new challenge... a Christmas Ornament for my co-worker that I had bought in Nashville, TN during my vacation:

I thought it would be a nice gift as she does celebrate Christmas while her husband observes Judaism.
Lastly my most recent project, another Christmas Ornament for one of my best friends, yet to be finished:

Need to figure out how to finish these ornaments...

My latest stash haul from Crafty Kitten:

Lighting is probably making it look fickle however they are all 28 ct Jobelan from top to bottom: Aurora, Spring Crocus, Peacock and Twilight Shadows. Threads are Twilight Shadows and Aurora.


Anywho onto to contemplating what I'd like to do next! :)

Merry Christmas All!

Cricket...cricket...

May I present...my latest break from bigger projects... TRIBAL ROOSTER! *trumpet sound* On Silkweaver's Cloudy Day (18 count Aida) and Jodyri's Summer Sunset. Got the Rooster as it is the zodiac animal of my younger brother. :) The rooster's flourished tail looks like half of a butterfly. 

Due to the sales from all the wonderful hand dyers out there, I think I *may* have went a little overboard.. however the sales are not done yet! Must...take...advantage of the SALE! SALE! SALE! Oh how I have a love/hate relationship with the word! Although I was good today and haven't caved on a few sales that ended today. I cringe at the thought of what my next credit card bills are going to be... yes credit cards as I ended up using my non-favorite credit card as I was buying from overseas due to international credit card fees. Yep! I am just that bad. Oh and forget about keeping track about how much I spent! That'll just make feel bad about spending. I'll regret it later... perhaps...maybe... maybe not when I get the goods! I'll make it up.. later... maybe...

Working ~10 hours a day every weekday and sometimes Saturdays is exhausting... but I console myself with material goods. :P  I hope everyone had the opportunity to splurge on their hobbies as I have during this Thanksgiving holiday! Wishing the world a good night as it is currently midnight-ish and just the sound of the crickets in my head is sounding off! *doddering off to bed*

Tribal Cat!

From floss toss to the finish! I like to see the progression, don't you? I took a picture every day that I had stitched so I can see the progression. :) Tribal Cat was stitched on Jodyri's fabric - Smoke & Mirrors (28 count Jazlyn) and using her threads, Nevermore.
