Enchanted Creatures finished

Enchanted Creatures

After all these years I've finally finished it! I really like the way it has turned out. Now all I have to do is get it framed and hung up in the twins bedroom!
I now need to decide which UFO to work on next lol.

Celtic Summer Update

Here's the latest update. As you can see I have done rather a lot. I have been stitching on her most days now. I really am glad that I am beading as I go along and it is surprising how heavy it is now.

I have also been stitching on Fantastic Creatures and all I have left to do now is the back stitching which there is quite a lot of.

I am looking forward to the weekend as we are going to Col's mum and dads. We leave Friday and get back Sunday night. It will be good to sit down and do some stitching with her on the Sunday lol.

My UFO Challenge.

I've decided to set my own UFO challenge. There are a few reasons for this including that they are really nice and a lot of work has gone into them already, and also there is a recession and we are begining to feel it especially right on top of Christmas. I will carry on stitching on my normal WIPs but add time each week to work on a UFO. I also will not be starting any more large projects except for Circe the Sorceress. Small projects are allowed providing I have the stuff to do them. Personally for me, I can not see the point of spending money on new stash when I already have plenty started to keep me going for a long time. Our money can be spent else where, where it is really needed, like on the kids and Grandkids for Xmas :).
I already started my challenge and picked out my smallest UFO.

It is called Fantastic Creatures and is from the Dimensions Petite Gold range. I started this when the twins were about four, they are ten now lol but they still want it finished for their bedroom. So I have promised them faithfully that I will finish it as fast as I can!

The rest of the week I have spent stitching on Celtic Summer and am about halfway through it now.

I spent this afternoon doing the beading on her. The material is quite heavy now with all those beads on it. I am really enjoying working on this and have made it my main project for now.
I also have a nice beaded ornament to make in time for Christmas and will probably start it in the next week.
Click on image to bigify it to see all the beads lol.
