Sail Away

2010-06-06T23:03:00.000-07:00

I finished Shepherd's Bush Sail Away. I loved the colors and once I got through the stitch intensive hill the rest was a breeze. I put my son's initial's on it as he left for college this year. A fun one I can't wait to get framed. I stitched it as part of a SAL and I was way behind but finally caught up.

Buzz Buzz Bee

2010-05-25T04:37:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't been dropping by lately but this is my first SB finish for the year. It's from their range of Shop Exclusives that comes in kit form including a Jill Rensel mat. Called Buzz Buzz Bee, it took me only a day to complete. Very small and measuring approx. 1" x 3 1/2" which makes it a quick stitch.

Bit by teeny-bit I'm working the Earth Gatherer. With all the changes of color, this isn't a project that will be finished quickly and nor should it be.

This is such an enjoyable stitching project that I don't WANT to rush through it.

You have to love SB color choices. They are so relaxing.

I'm welcoming spring with a few radishes and a bit more border.

Blog Administrator?

2010-03-12T19:55:00.000-08:00

I received an email from Tracy, the former administrator for this blog. Please read and respond if you know who the new administrator is. Thanks.

I don't know if you remember me but I am the original administrator of the Shepherd's Bush blog.

I noticed that it doesn't appear to be managed by anyone and I do not remember who I transferred administrative duties to. I am emailing you to see if you would check your settings for that blog and look in the permissions tab to see if it was you that I transferred it to.

If not, would you be so kind as to leave a post on the blog to see if you can find out who it is and ask that all members check in their settings to see if it is them, I know it was someone who e-mailed me and offered to help.

I am just interested so that the blog can be managed properly and am trying to help with that.

Thanks,

Stocking for Lisa

2010-01-03T12:31:00.000-08:00

I stitched this stocking during the year fro my friend Lisa. While Ihave stitched HEAPS of these, this is the first one I have made up. I am totally thrilled with the outcome of it.

Lisa loves red and black, so I searched for some Christmassy fabric that I thought would do the trick....

As everyone knows, I finished O Beautiful. I decided to start a new project and after a long debate in my craft room I decided on Shepherd's Bush, Beekeepers Cottage. I love this pattern it is so fun to stitch and the colors are just so pretty. Take a peek...I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Joyful Night

2009-12-27T19:14:00.000-08:00

Here's a little ornament I made as part of an exchange. It's Joyful Night from the 1998 Just Cross Stitch ornament issue. It was also reprinted in their 10th Anniversary Collection book as well.

Click for larger view

It's stitched on 32-count Lambswool linen. I used all of the recommended DMC colors with the exception of the star. The color originally called for didn't show up very well on the linen, so I substituted a darker yellow instead.

Sail Away almost done

2009-11-04T21:29:00.000-08:00

This is where I stopped at my last

posting. I have done all the stitching

on this part except for the flag.

I forgot it. I am also going to add some

blending filament to the sun for sparkle.

I did put glow-in-the-dark

blending filament in the lighthouse light and

the middle top window has a candle glow

awaiting the return of the loved one.

I took out the flowers and added some sheep

and used an over dyed silk from

Down Under for the water.

At first, I was

not happy with it but it has grown on me.

The picture of it turned out better than I

thought it would.

You can actually see the fish.

Now to the picket fence. I put in the first

two rows for placement and then

started the final words.

Got Come back again to me started

to do the next picket and it was

touching the top of the "C".

UGH!!!

You guessed it the Frog was back.

I took it out and put it right back in again.

Started on the flowers. I put in the only color

of green I had knowing it was not the one

I thought I had saved. Again with the frog ~

Got that torn out but now after finding

the green will finish the flowers and

the picket fence and flowers.

Will post again soon. I have the mats cut and

the framed purchased. Yea!

Thanks for taking a peek. Come by and see my

Sheperd's Bush JSC Ornaments

2009-11-03T22:11:00.000-08:00

It is almost that time of year again

and I have three of the five SB ornaments done.

They are from the JCS Christmas Ornament Book.

I just need to add the charms as soon as

I get them from The Silver Needle.

I am going to stretch them separately, add

a couple of mats around each and put them all

in the same frame.

Fortunately they were very easy and quick to stitch up!

This one was the first one I did years ago. I saw them at my retreat last year and they turn out to be pretty stunning!!!

As usual thanks for looking I appreciate it so much. TA TA for now ~

Roma's Garden and current progress

2009-10-30T04:38:00.000-07:00

I recently showed a finish of mine on my blog which I competed in 1995. It's Roma's Garden and is such a favourite of mine. I just love all the specialty stitches in it, Roma herself, the garden gate, need I go on? A true pleasure to stitch this one.

I love SB with a total vengeance and have quite a few done and to do. I suppose like everyone else. I know this should have been finished as a picture but I decided that as it was a heart I wanted it finished as a heart so my friend Janet finished it for me because I am finishing challenged that's for sure. To get Janet's email address just go to my blog and her name has been linked to her email address.

Progress may be slow on this project. I'm finding the 32-count linen to be a bit difficult to deal with at night (even with my OTT light) ---- so this is my day project.

So far I have two feet --- a little bit of pan leg --- some pitchfork ---- and a heart. I love the little heart.

A small SB finish:)

2009-10-20T11:14:00.000-07:00

People who know me, know I don't like to finish small pieces...but, I do love the SB fobs!
I finished this off about 1/2" larger than my last fob and going to use it as a pincushion.

I'm enjoying everyone's progress. Beautiful design choices and stitching!
Tracy, it may be awhile before I work on another SB, so if my space is needed...please give it to someone else.

Sail Away . . .

2009-10-12T21:50:00.000-07:00

Here I am again with my Sail Away SAL.

I just wished I had gotten in on it sooner.

Sorry it is such a small photo. I will take one

Tuesday and download it to my computer

and post it.

This has been so much fun to stitch.

Unfortunately, the frogs came a visitin'

yesterday and I had to frog the second

and third verse 6 times.

I had a whole skein of Smokey Grays

so even though I took the letters out

so many times I still have a lot left.

Count with me 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. I don't

think in all the years of stitching

I have ever had

that much trouble.

I didn't feel good and I should have slept

instead of stitching.

Next time after two frogs come a visitin'

I will put the needle down.

Promise!

Thanks for looking but get out that

magnifying glass so you can see it.

God Bless ~

my dear ones ~

This is the progress I have made on my sampler.

You can't see that I have all of the white done

on the little person.

But you sure can see his

HAT!

I used the threads called for except I did use

a different color for the heart,

the square next to it,

the waves, fishes and the motif

next to waves and fishes.

They are silks from Dinky Dyes and one is

Waterlilies.

I will take a picture with my camera

and it will be bigger and a little

clearer.

As always, thanks for looking I appreciate it.

The Earth Gatherers

2009-09-29T11:19:00.001-07:00

I had a hard time settling on a new project yesterday. Because I already have Wool Gatherer and Herb Gatherer finished, I decided to tackle The Earth Gatherers.

I was a little intimidated. I haven't worked on any large in a long time. Then I opened the kit (which has been in my stash for YEARS!) and saw the 32-count fabric. INTIMIDATED even more. Then I pulled out the unsorted floss-wad and the bead/embellishment pack. ARGH!!!! How in the world do you tell the browns apart.

I decided to pull the floss from my stash and match it up as I go along. So far, so good!

Now not even the fabric is intimidating me. It's not nearly as hard to see as I though it would be. Good light and a bit of patience and I'll do okay!

Welcome to my blog: Anna-Zont

Just starting. . .

2009-09-16T21:12:00.001-07:00

tonight about 8:30 UPS dropped off

my kit for Sail Away.

I had most of the threads but none

of the charms or beads. I had

chosen my threads as best as

I could but didn't like the way

they looked stitched up.

So . . . I will go put my flowers in and

see how it looks.

Hope to post something tomorrow night.

Boy, do I have some catching up to do!!!

Thanks so much for looking and leaving a comment.

Your inspiration helps release those endorphins

that make me so happy.

2009-09-04T23:23:00.000-07:00

is a Shepherd's Bush kit I started

many, many, many years ago

and it is

past time I got it done.

It is done on grey-blue linen fabric with silk threads.

As you can see it is very small across the top

and should be easy to finish.

Say a Prayer!

When I was taking pictures of my stitching one day

I needed more photos for the CD.

I started digging in the basket by my chair

and came up with about 8 started projects.

As if, I needed to dig up anything. I have started

charts all over the house.

I am trying to get photos of all so I can

better organize my stitching!

Oh, that's a good one Huh?

All I can say is someday. I should live so long!

As always thanks for encouraging me ~

it does help.

I appreciate you stitchers so much.

I love doing my blog and seeing all

the gorgeous stitching!

I don't really like the way it looks.

What to do, what to do?

I will just have to try another thread for the verse.

I had changed it but I am not happy with it.

I will upload a picture hopefully,

Wooly Winter

2009-08-19T05:25:00.000-07:00

Another recent finish of mine. This one's Wooly Winter. A lovely, narrow sampler that you can whip through quickly. Concentration's needed with the two different snowflakes stitched in this piece though - they're fiddly to do. The snowman's fun to stitch up, and cute too!

My Pins

Went to a stitchiong retreat at Fancimats our LNS and left with this lovely(among other things :)! Even had the little rose pin with it.

Alphabet Fold Tuck Pillows

2009-08-15T08:13:00.000-07:00

These are just about the cutest things SB has put out. I love them! They came complete with threads,buttons, and the little tuck pillow. 3 down 23 to go!

I am also stitching them as one big sampler so I am searching along for little buttons to use on it. I got me a cute basket I place these in as I go.

I just fell in love with this chart when I first saw it. It stitched up so fast which I also loved. I stitched it on 32 ct cream Belfast using the CC & Weeks threads it called for. One thing I did notice was that the colour Kudzu is listed inside but not outside so if you use the outside list to shop you'll forget this one. I stitched it as one continuous piece just following the "pattern". The charms were a little pricy to me but so what less the kids will fight over when I am gone. They can fight over the picture instead :). Now off to find a frame.

Snow Patch

2009-08-14T20:32:00.001-07:00

Sail Away & Come Tarry

2009-08-08T09:03:00.000-07:00

I must tell you all that I am much better with a needle in my hand than with a mouse or camera. I have had several projects completed except for the over-one stitching that is so tedious for me. I finally "sucked-it-up" as my daughter would say, and did it. I also finished the Family Sampler, but gave up on photographing it.

I am about 2/3 of the way through Finch Song--it is so much fun. I have found a couple of errors in the vine border. Take a look at the leaves (symbol E--backwards 3) that fall into a pattern around the wavy border. The first leaf on the bottom left border (next to the = leaf) needs to move to the left. Then near the center of the left side, the leaf needs to move down (from the o leaf). Also the tendril curls sometimes go left and sometimes go right without consistancy but, I still love this piece!

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Keep the needles flying!

I am sorry to report I do not remember the name of this fun little Fob....I love the fussy ribbon and beads on the sides....and the matching scissors were way too tempting! How is it that such a simple design can be so charming?

Glad Tidings Scissor Fob and 2005 Scissor Fob

2009-08-05T08:08:00.000-07:00

Today I've finished this scissors fob too, and here are 2 pictures about my older one, the Glad Tidings Scissor Fob :)

And together... The left one (with watermelon) was a gift from a dear friend.

Sailing Away

2009-08-04T06:31:00.001-07:00

I recently got my Sail Away back from the framers and I couldn't be more pleased. I had the framing done at Joanne's and used a suede matt. Although it's difficult to see from the photo, there are beautiful shades of blue in the matt that fit the piece very well. The distressed area of the frame is also blue. This was really a fun stitch.

Land That I Love ---- All Done

2009-08-03T14:04:00.001-07:00

Land That I Love is finally finished.When I first started this project, I really had my doubts about whether I would finish it. I wasn't sure I liked the large-gauge fabric, but I persevered and what do you know? It grew on me.

It's washed, pressed and ready to go to the framer on Wednesday.

Update

2009-08-03T11:49:00.000-07:00

I am done with classes for the summer and I can't be happier. Hopefully I will have plenty of updates now! Here is an update on Shepherd's Bush, Autumn's BlessingsHope everyone is doing well.

Land That I Love

2009-07-30T18:45:00.001-07:00

Today was a very productive day. I met with two friends, stitched for about two hours and here's how far I got...When I first started this project, I really wasn't sure I was going to like it. I wasn't sure I liked the large-gauge fabric.

Now .... I think I love it. ;-)

I'm already thinking ---- frame it or pillow it???? Opinions?
