Yes I know I said I was doing a stitching update, but I was home last weekend, helping Mum and Dad, and most importantly taking photos of Anglo Nubian kids to be sold overseas. We are very excited this is our first 'private' export, there are two adult does, and their three kids, along with another three kids. So here is Mum doing a bit of 'spit and polish' on one of the girls. (Pssst don't tell Mum I put her photo up :)
My progress on Gracewood Stitches Northern Nights, over halfway. I have altered this a little, I've used 4 blues, 3 golds, and 3 greens, and also left out three bigger bands, and changed around some of the smaller separation bands, but I do like how it is going. Here's hoping I don't get to the end and think... ohh maybe I should have...
County Cottage Needleworks Pumpkin Cottage, all framed.
Little House Needleworks Pumpkin Hollow Farm, back from the framers as well. I received a 2nd with this at my local Ag show, and Highly Commended for Pumpkin Cottage, very please all round.
Seeya soon... LiBBiE in Oz :@
Lovely stitching and I LOVE the frames you chose! I can see why you had accolades at the AG. I like what you are doing with Northern Lights. I'm too much of a coward to change patterns around, I think I would be happier if I had the courage to change some....so you GO girl!! Can't wait to see the final product! *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me, I should frame my Pumpkin Cottage since it is fall here!! LOL! It really is doing me no good sitting in my "finished" box, is it??? Congrats on the great showing of your stitched pieces!!
ReplyDeleteNorthern Lights is beautiful. Look forward to seeing it finished.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that parent's don't like their pictures taken??
What great stitching and framing - and a hearty Bon Voyage for the goats!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your finishes...love the frame on Pumpkin Hollow. You did make me giggle...I wasn't paying attention to the pic but was started when you said "sale of kids"....of course children came to mind and I did a double take for a second. too funny....
