Can’t think up a snappy title
Well, it is a little late for this little blogger but I just had to share my latest stitching progress on Winter ACEO - she has lips! One of the silly thoughts I had whilst stitching on her tonight was “Wow, her lipstick matches her top exactly.”
Stitching ended abruptly at 9.00pm when Felix decided he didn’t have enough room on the bed where my floss box was and knocked it to the floor. Yes, he did a floss toss! (I said it was past my bedtime).
I love this piece more and more as I work on her, I know I won’t finish her in a year as I originally planned in my hilarious goal setting at the beginning of the year but I am really enjoying the process of working on her each Wednesday with the QS-SAL group at the Heaven and Earth Designs BB.
As for the first day of my holidays, I went out shopping with Lucy and Niall this morning (we went to Borders and I only bought one book!!) then came home ate a bit of lunch and had a long nap (nearly 3 hours). Tonight I picked up Winter ACEO and now you are up to date!
Edited to add - Susan Wittig Albert (a favourite author of mine) has set up a blog for the town of Pecan Springs, which is the town that the China Bayles Herb Mysteries are set. This weeks entry is a Ruby’s Spa Day with a strawberry facial which sounds really yummy, so I left a comment to that effect and Susan Wittig Albert sent me an email saying thanks - this made my day!
its funny.. was looking at the pic before I even read.. and I was thinking, wow.. lovely lipstick that matches her top! LOL
She looks great! I haven’t joined in for a few weeks now - too many exchanges. I’m going to have to take a break from obligation stitching after this lot is done I think so I can get back to normal!
Gorgeous… i love the face taking shape at last… she really is a sweet delicate creature..
did you see all the seasons are there now..
i am determined to rejoin in the Wed SAL group next week too as the bresent making will be over for a while..yayyy..
now lets see if i can post this on the beta thing or if i have to go anon again..
if i do this is fudgey
Wow, she looks fantastic. You have made some amazing progress lately!
She is just beautiful, Cathy!! Wonderful stitching!
She is beautiful Cathy. The more progress you make on her the more tempted I am to buy her and stitch her too. I need a winter lady to finish of my “four seasonal ladies by four different designers” goal and this one is very high on the winter list.
Winter is looking beautiful! Maybe when I get up the courage to start on my Water ACEO, I might join in on the Wed SAL.
