Then I was putting some things away and came across Vervaco's Autumn Fairy, which took me several years to find, and I decided to pull it out and finally make a start, on a piece of SW Harvest Belfast:
Finally, I put the tree up last week and put out some decorations, which include a couple of Mill Hill beaded designs, and I got an urge to start a Christmas design. That very day I had received an order from 123Stitch which included a Mill Hill kit, so I started that!
I think I'll try to stick with the snow globe and see if I can get it done by Christmas, though I still have to get the presents wrapped and get some cleaning done, so stitching time will be a bit limited.
Speaking of Christmas, I have an adorable needle minder to give away as a thank you to all who spend time reading my blog:
All you have to do is leave a comment that you'd like to be entered, and on Christmas day I'll draw a winner, and I'll mail to anywhere in the world. Then be sure to check back and contact me if you're the winner (I'll leave my email address in the post), as I might not be able to get your contact info from your profile.
Wishing everyone all the best of the holiday season!
Love all your new starts Melanie. The needleminder is adorable. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

Merry Christmas and the needle minder is fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteI’m working on Miss Solar Ellipse as well. Working my way up to get to the beautiful color. Wonderful minder. Have a lovely Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOoh I like startitis! Especially when it's someone else adding to their WIP list and not me. Miss Solar Eclipse is looking gorgeous and I absolutely love the fabric you've chosen for Autumn. That's a lovely needleminder but I have received one from you in the past so I'll pass this time. Always a pleasure to visit your blog!
ReplyDeleteAll great projects!
ReplyDeleteLove the Snowglobe.
Sometimes it's hard to decide. ;)

I am waiting for the Miss Solar Eclipse chart to arrive, I fell in love with her wings and just had to have it. Thank you for a sweet giveaway, I would love a fun needle minder. Happy Christmas. x
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered! I just spent the past few days looking over all your posts and am inspired by your stitching and journeys to retreats (it has now become a life goal of mine to attend a retreat in Italy!). I also loved meeting all your furbabies! In stitching circles I am known as the maiden, and am one third of the trio Maiden, Mother Crone. Looking forward to seeing more post, it's a dying art as so many have switched over to instagram!
ReplyDeleteI love the needle minder. He reminds of a cross between a baby and teenage dragon. He/she is a cutie. I love your list of slain WIPS.

I started Miss Solar Ellipse too after seeing your beautiful model stitch. I've never been fast enough to get a claybykim needleminder so I'm grateful you're giving us the opportunity. Thanks for all of your blog posts, they always make my day.
ReplyDeleteNew starts are always fun. I have had two this month, luckily I finished one quite quickly. Your new patterns are lovely. I'd really love to be included in your giveaway, if I'm not too late.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Great new starts! I'm a bit sad to be behind with blog reading so much as that reader was adorable, but I'm sure he has found a loving new home by now :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not brave enough to have lots of new starts, it leaves me a bit overwhelmed! All of your projects look so beautiful :)
