Hoping for a finish this week

I spent a good portion of this past weekend working on Princess Elliana and I'm starting to think I might be able to have her finished within the next week or so. I need to extend my Qsnaps one more time to work on the far left side of the dress:

I didn't add the squares for the weekend to my temperature SAL yet as I'm spending all my stitching time on Elliana, so I'll update this as soon as Elliana is finished:

The Tempting Tangles Quakers in Scotland SAL has now had 10 of the 16 parts released, but it's too hard to try to crop the photo to show all of the parts so far so I'll just share the top half (8 of 16 parts) here:

I was supposed to have received a Mirabilia model this month but I just had an email that said it would probably be another 4 to 6 weeks, so now I plan to start a Rosewood Manor model once Elliana is done, and I might even be able to have it done by the time another model arrives--fingers crossed!

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!

Finally got some framing done

My husband often gives me gift certificates to my favorite framer for our anniversary, my birthday and Christmas and I hadn't taken anything in for some time so I had quite a bit waiting to be used, so I finally took some things over last month and was able to pick them up last week. Two were stitched pieces, one of which was Lizzie Kate's Frightful Mystery Sampler:

This one will join my other L*K Halloween designs once I can figure out how to rearrange them to make room (there are other Halloween pieces to the right of these):

The other one I took is a Vervaco design that was a free SAL on FB, and it just makes me happy to look at it as I love kitties and the flower colors are so pretty:

The other two pieces I had framed were paintings by Nora Corbett that I bought quite a while ago. The first is close to being my favorite of her art that I've acquired:

And a "spooky" girl who kind of reminds me of a gargoyle (which would make a great series of Nora Corbett pixie-size designs!):

On the stitching front I'm making progress on Princess Elliana, and am hoping to have her done within the next few weeks:

And the temperature SAL is now more than half way done:

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week, and stay cool out there!
