I have been stitching on my Little House Neighborhood and I finally got all the leaves stitched on the tree! Hip Hip Horray! There are many many of them but I love the tree. Now I can do the birds and the other sheep and then on to the red house! I kept thinking I should take a photo but I just kept stitching so before I get to stitching today, I got this picture taken first thing.
I have been working on my Little House Neighborhood and almost have the blue house finished. This is such a fun stitch and I am loving it! This row is so cute anyway and I look forward to doing the tree with the lambs and flowers as well as the red house in this. This is being stitched on 40 ct. Light Exampler Linen from Lakeside Linens with one thread over 2
I finally got the top stitched today. I love the little lady with the chicken as I would like to think that is me. We live in the country woods and we have 6 little chickens! We also have squirrels here too. I love this project! Now on to the next row.
Stitched on 40 ct Lt. Exampler linen, one thread over 2.
Here is my first little house finished! I finally got that part done and it took a little time but not as long as it did to finish the roof I had to frog out so many times. I love the door on this house. Now on to the other squirrel, tree and things on the right. Thank you everyone who gave me some good input about stitching in hand or on a frame. Since this is 40 ct fabric, I am going to continue with the q snaps and perhaps try stitching in hand on 32 ct sometime. My stitches are laying like I want doing things this way for me.
Can you believe it, I finally got something to post here in our Little House Neighborhood. I wish I had more progress here but I ended up doing a bit of frogging, and my border was off a little at first but I got this much done today. I am stitching this on 40 ct. Lt. Exemplar linen with one thread over two. I had wanted to do this on 32 ct. but they didn't have any in this color at my LNS and I had this and decided to use it. I originally was going to use more Crescent threads but I remember how easy on a larger project it is to maybe get something on it and I had a problem with the Crescent thread bleeding when I pressed with a damp cloth, so I have decided to go ahead with the DMC threads. I did use Old Oak Tree on the border though before I decided this but I like it and am trying to be really careful. Now on to the tree tomorrow!
Here is the fabric and threads that I am using for the Little House Neighborhood. I had wanted to use 32 ct Lt. Exemplar but I found out that my Lt. Exemplar is 40 ct so I am going to use it instead of having to order the fabric. I am using most of the DMC colors that the pattern calls for, but I wanted a few Crescent Colors added, so I substituted 420 for Old Oak Tree, 926 for Miladys Teal, and 3857 for Manor Red. I hope it will look ok. I had wanted to start on this yesterday but my neighbor asked me if I would like to go over to Sam's with her to get some things, so I enjoyed having lunch out and going with her. I am so behind here at home but I want to get a start on this today. Everyone's starts here just really make me want to start too. It looks like a really fun stitch!
