I'm thinking about sending it to SewMuch2Luv to have a project bag made, but for now it'll go into the finishes bin while I think about it.
I was going to start Miss Ladybug as my new weekend project, but the chart won't arrive until today so I had to pick something else (at least for one weekend) and I chose Disney's Cinderella Castle:
I've had this kit for almost 20 years now and have almost started it a few times but have always backed away; it uses quite a bit of GlissenGloss blending filament and holographic thread and I was afraid they would be difficult to work with. While I've only used a small amount of each so far, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are actually nice to work with.
I switched out the navy Aida that came with the kit for PTP Mystic Belfast. I would have done this anyway, as I like the look of linen more than Aida and prefer 16ct to 14ct for coverage (especially on dark fabrics) but there are also a ton of partial stitches in this that would be difficult to do neatly on Aida. I was able to complete Tinkerbell last night, so here she is before and after back stitching:
I probably won't get much stitching done this week (or weekend), as Lima Beads is having their annual Easter egg hunt on their site, and that will keep me busy as long as I want it to up until Easter.
Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
I love your kitty project; congratulations on the finish!
ReplyDeleteI have that Cinderella's Castle as well as several other Disney Art kits purchased many years ago with my son-in-law's Disney employee discount while visiting Disney World.
Yay, completed kitties! Looks great.
ReplyDeleteGlad the Cinderella Castle fibers are being cooperative so far - all that sparkle is going to look gorgeous on the dark blue fabric.
I love the feeling I get when I finish a project so you must be thrilled now to have done with your kitties. I also get a thrill at starting a new project too, the castle looks like a lot of work but will be fabulous when done. x
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so pretty, congrats on your finish.
Cinderella Castle will look fantastic on Mystic.

Oh, great start - and something pretty different for a change! I like it.
ReplyDeleteAwe, such sweet kitty cats!
ReplyDeleteTink looks great, the fabric looks great for it.
It’s beauiful, also making it but the pattern is not clear anymore, do you still have the pattern off Disney the castle
ReplyDeleteI do still have it because I haven't stitched any more on this design since this post, so I will probably have it for quite some time to come! If I ever finish the design I'll probably sell the chart at that time. :)
DeleteAwesome kittens! That picture is sweet!
