Neighborhood update...

I finally made enough progress on this piece to share a photo with you all. My first house is almost completed and I'm really enjoying it. I substituted DMC 3032 with Wood Smoke by GAST and DMC 3790 with Maple Syrup also by GAST. Now to plan the colors for my other homes.

Happy stitching,

LHN Progress

So far, this is my progress on my Little House Neighborhood. I am happy with the way it seems to be moving along so easily. Excuse the shadow but I had to take the picture indoors.

First Progress Pic

In my previous post, I had said I hope for some progress pics soon. Well, as luck would have it, I did get some stitching done on Little House Neighbourhood.
Nothing much to show yet. Only the middle tree is done but as promised...

Nina had asked for some close up pictures. Who am I not to comply? ^.^

As you can see, I stitched my sheep's coat with a different floss - silk chenille. Vikki's Silk Chenille to be exact. I love the woolly effect. It's perfect for it, don't ya think? :D

Cherry - first progress - September 21

Not too much, unfortunately, but in this manner in a September heavy to reconcile with the other ones. I am glad that there are others yet in an early phase like this. :)
And I see it gladly, and congratulate it was ready to works!
Happy stitching!

Susan's progress - September 21

I finished the final house today! Now, I just have to do the landscaping, add some critters, finish the border, and add the verse. Wow, when I say it like that, I guess I still do have a way to go!

I started

I finally got started on my L.H. Neighborhood! Yea for me! I know there are a few things I want to change around but I haven't made any solid decisions yet.

I am working on 18 count Aida that I coffee dyed.

Little House Neighborhood Framed!

I was so happy when I got a text message from my framer this morning saying that my Little House Neighborhood was ready for me to pick it up. So, as soon as I finished work I drove there and got it. I love love love it! It is now hanging on my well, next to my stitching spot :)

I just love the look of this frame. The minute I saw it I just knew it would be right for the piece. I thought about some mats but when I tried them with the piece I just saw that the piece didn't need any. It is just so pretty that it didn't need any more 'decoration'. I think it is perfect like this. Here is a closer look of the frame.

Well. Back to stitching I guess!
