Insta Stitch With Sue - Continued

There are now 13, one inch circles, from Sue Spargo's Instastitchwithsue, left to do. It's hard to believe that I actually kept up with this activity, but I'm glad I did.

Here's a few more from the collection:

This activity was a good one for practising stitches, colour selection of threads, for the circles in my collection and for observing how Sue and company put together the stitches for the various designs. Working within a one inch area was, at times, challenging. I didn't have all the correct sizes of needles and had to improvise. There was no going to the store for more. I did order them from Amazon, but they did not show up. Lesson learned: don't order something small from such a big company. I figured the needles would come with the other things ordered (my mistake)!!

I also need to stock up on a few more colours of #5 perle cotton.

Enjoy!!

A Few More Fibre Art Pendants

This week has been taken up with finishing the Christmas Shimmers, and packaging them. Four more new scarves have also been added to the list as well as lots of Christmas Wearable Art Pins. Last evening I did get started putting the finishing touches on more of the fibre art pendants. I have been adding a few stitches to some of the bases, using my new Valdani Silk and Perle Cotton Threads, . It's very subtle, so look closely at three of the ones below. Any pearls used are either glass or sterling silver.

Finally! Valdani Threads Have Arrived

My order of Valdani Threads finally arrived!! As you will notice, I ordered lots of greens. As this was my first order from this company, I ordered samples from all the different categories they offer. I have used some of their threads before so I knew the quality of the product. Of particular importance: the colours are hand dyed and guaranteed colour fast. Visit their site to see all the luscious colours and threads as you won't be disappointed.
