Promise me

Some of you probably seen this already from my IG, but I thought I would share it here as well. I'm terrible for updating my blog. 

This is Lizzie Kate promise me. It's done on 32ct taupe lugana 2/2. 

Happy Stitching!

Box of delights update

I've decided to do mine with 16 motifs in a 4x4 grid. The pattern is 6x6 with a total of 36 motifs. 

Here's the wip:

Happy stitching!

Box of delights....

Liz Almond has released another beautiful blackwork design called box of delights and I couldn't resist!

So I started it!

This is just the first motif....and I'm doing it on lugana! First time ever using it and ohmygod I'm in love!

Why have I not used this fabric before now? Oh, I know...because I was too chicken to try anything else except for aida.

Happy Stitching!

Just a few things....

Here are some of the pretties that got me in trouble blew my budget for part A of the SFS.

Some beautiful silks and cottons from fiberlicious:

 Silk Mori threads from Kreinik:(they were stated as beginner threads!)

A piece of 25ct lugana.  I ordered this just to try it.  I'm trying to branch out with my fabrics.  I'm an aida girl...but all the other fabrics I see are so beautiful!

On a side note.... if someone can explain the 25ct to me I would be grateful!  I understand the over 1/over 2, but 25ct?? over 2 on this would be equal to 12.5 in aida?  Is that right?  That's like...huge!  I usually stitch on 16 ct aida...so how far off is this 25ct going to be??  Just when I thought I had it all figured out..Geesh!
