Sail Away . . .

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 ~

Sail Away . . .

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.

God Bless ~

Just starting. . .

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.

God Bless ~

Sail Away . . .

my dear one

upon a lapis sea

but if the winds be restless

come back again to me.

I started my sampler.

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,

tomorrow.

Thanks for looking!

God Bless ~

Sail Away Bellpull Finish

I finished Sail Away today. It is a sweet little piece. What a wonderful dream land. I took notes on the colors that I used to share with anyone who is interested.

Another motif is Completed

My most recent progress on this Shepherd's Bush sampler.

Thanks for visiting.

Progress on Sail Away

I made a little progress on this sampler the last few days. These motifs are just so adorable, I love stitching them and choosing my own colors and buttons is a blast. The fabric isn't as soft and light as the kitted up fabric but this is a piece of ribband and I am making a bellpull out of this one.
