No Stitching was done last night ...

Hello Everyone ~

I should be posting an update on my progress on the EMS Geranium Faerie piece, but I was not able to stitch last night. At 8pm last night, my mother in law passed away. She had been having pain for many years due to a stroke, but there seemed to many more good days recently. We never expected this to happen. She was laying in her recliner, just watching tv, and then she just stopped breathing and was gone. We are going over to their house later on this morning. My youngest brother in law, who is in the Navy, is flying in this morning. My husband is being very strong. His eyes got watery but he never let the tears fall. I know he wants to be strong for the kids and I and the rest of his family. I just hope that he isn't holding anything in. I'm sure he will let it out when he is ready. But right now, he feels the need to be strong. That is his coping mechanism.

Almost Finished!

Hi Stitching Friends!

Well, I pulled another all niter, this time however, I only stitched for about half of that time. During my stitching time, I was able to get all of the green areas finished. All I have left is the eyes, wings and back stitching!!! YAY! I will be so glad to get this piece finished and move on the the next one. I am having fun watching this piece come to life!

I used the iridescent blending filament on all the pink areas, and have decided to use the silver blending filament when I do the wings. I think that will look pretty.

So here is what my cute lil faerie looks like now ...




How does she look so far? I am really liking how she is turning out.

Well, I'm off to get a few hours sleep. Later on this afternoon, my husband wants to go to Buffalo Wild Wings, as it is 10 cent boneless wings Thursday. But I expect to have another update by this time tomorrow at the very latest with the eyes and wings done. I will post an update after that and before I start the back stitching.

Until Next Time,

Another EMS Geranium Faerie Update ...

Hi Everybody!!!

Well, I have made my first attempt at using blending filament on all of the pink sections of this piece. It's hard to see the sparkle in it with this picture, but in person it looks really pretty. When I finish the whole piece I will take a picture with just my camera instead of using the scanner and hopefully you'll be able to see the sparkle in it. I think this faerie is turning out pretty cute! I am really excited to be nearly done with the X's. Just the green sections and the wings and then back stitching left!

So here is the EMS Geranium Faerie so far ...




I think I am going to use the silver blending filament for the wings just so it's different then the pink areas.

So that is enough stitching for now. After I get a few hours of sleep, then I will get right back to it! Another update will be coming soon!

Until Next Time,

EMS Geranium Faerie Update ...

Hello Friends!

Well it's been a couple days, and I had some trying times while stitching the body of this cute little faerie, but at last here is an update!




Isn't she cute?! After I had gotten about halfway through stitching the body, I realized a mistake and had to take out almost all of what I had stitched for the body. But now her body is all stitched and it's on to the next section!!!

I am having so much fun stitching this piece. She is such a cute little faerie. I have decided also to add some sparkly Kreinik blending filament when I stitch the wings and the flower in her hair to give it an extra special touch. I think it will look really cute.

I'll have another update really soon!

Until Next Time,
♥ Margie ♥
