I was able to finish the first three Polar Plunge designs from Hands on Design last Tuesday night, and now have to wait until May for the final three charts:
The boards that these will be finished on are arriving today and I already have the rick rack trim, but I'll probably wait until all six are stitched before I start the finishing; better to get it over with all at once!
That was most of the stitching I did last week as I finally bit the bullet and started clearing out the basement. Three trips to the dump and three trips to Goodwill later and we finally have a fairly organized space again! I still need to go through some of the individual plastic bins, but the worst part is over. Now when it warms up we'll have to tackle the garage--ugh!
I did do a little bit of stitching on Firefly Fairies this weekend, and am getting close to finished with the greens in the first fairy:
The Polars are so cute, can't wait to see them finished!
ReplyDeleteFirefly is looking good, it will be awesome as it progresses.
Not sure we are having Spring this year, how about you?

Nope, not much spring yet; a few decent days here and there but then that 8" of snow last Saturday--ugh!!
DeleteThose Polar designs are all so cute - do you have a favourite? I think I'd have a really heart time deciding.
ReplyDeleteI would say the polar bear was originally my favorite, but the whale really grew on me as I stitched him so now I'm not sure!
DeleteDo you already know what the next designs will be? This trio is so cute!
ReplyDeleteGood for you cleaning up, I try to keep up but there's always something to be done.
The fabric for the Firefly Fairies is perfect for it, looks great so far.
The remaining three are puffins, penguins and a narwhal, but I haven't seen any sneak peeks yet--hopefully soon!
