(In my best Winnie the Pooh voice) Helloooo out there!
I hope you are well & dry. Dry is important. Tropical Cyclone Debbie has just departed, and we are forecast to be hit by TC Cook today and tomorrow. Just in time for school holidays and Easter! I am again grateful that our house is sturdy and built on a (mostly) concrete base at the top of a hill…
I got my stitchy bug back! I have finished a number of things (which I won’t show now, as that will mean I’d be repeating things when we post our Smalls at the end of the month) and got some decent progress on Mermaids of the Deep Blue. I can see the stitching end in sight! Then of course, comes the 9 or so packs of beads…
I picked up two framed finishes which I am keeping all for myself. Both are older finishes; my first Nora (her sleigh) is now on the office wall at work so I can see it most days, and Stargazer is going up in the lounge at home.
My work piece is the Mill Hill Seagull. Short & easy, I plan to finish & bead this on Earth Day…and Andromeda supplies arrived. I am so tempted to wag work right now!
Take care everyone. Have a wonderful Easter.
Mermaids of the deep blue is still one of my favorites ๐ I never realized how many colors there are in the tail until I saw your close up! It’s going to be so beautiful when finished ๐ And those framed finishes look amazing! Great job!
Thank you! Mermaids was one I HAD to stitch. I do love it.
Lovely set of projects ๐ I love that seagull!!!
He’s odd tho isn’t he?!
Ah, you’re bringing back memories of hurricane seasons I do *not* miss. ๐ I love the gull (a Herring Gull given the plumage and pink legs ), even more so as a birdy person because the title lists it as being from springtime, and he is indeed out of his winter wear.
I thought he was quirky! Plus there is a Santa with a bird that I want to alter from some American thing to a gull. Thought best to stitch one then I’d be more likely to get the rechart right.
I’m trying to imagine the American bird with the Santa. A cardinal, maybe? Red, with a head crest?
MH20-2303 Christmas Island Santa
That’s supposed to be a booby (Stop that now, that’s really its name…), but it seems to be a mash-up of a couple of species — face of one, plumage and feet of another. They’re American, but Central and South rather than North, other than occasional strays.
That is why it was harder to pick it out!
