Mixed bag of projects...

I am not sure I have posted here so here is a mixed bag of some of what I am stitching at present... I started Mermaid of the Pearls quite a while ago... She sat looking like this for a long time:

After tonight she now looks like this:

She is the most annoying mermaid to stitch. I am not sure why, but I am not enjoying stitching her as much as I did Waiting for Ships, or Mermaids of the Deep Blue. There isn't the same colour flow I think and so you are jumping here, there and everywhere with colours.

And here is an update on Lily - she is a very slowly progressing WIP simply because she may only get 20-40minutes every time I am at work:

Loving Fire Goddess. The ball of fire in her hand is gorgeous:

A little more of her skirt is done too

If you are at all interested I have a stitching blog too - found here: http://aflyingneedle.wordpress.com/



Thanks for looking!

Wow, these are gorgeous. Where did you get the patterns or did you make them yourself?

(I'm far from advanced enough to do anything like this, but it's something one can aspire to -laughs-)

The Fire Goddess looks amazing. <3 I have all four of those patterns but have yet to start any of them, due to a) already having one project going and b) being a procrastinator by nature, but wow do I ever love Joan Elliot designs. As someone else above said, I'm very impressed at the way you manage three projects at the same time. :)

I *love* the fire goddess. Bookmarking both of those artists you mentioned, for future pattern-buying! (Do you have other suggestions for good places to get non-traditional patterns? I'm getting books from the library, but the supplies are kind of meh...)

Those are both gorgeous! I love the fire goddess. I love Mirabella designs too. And you're right, they do look intimidating, but then I actually did one, and completed it (!) and realized I could do it. So then I started buying too many. :( Definitely bookmarking the site with the fire goddess pattern. Thanks for link!

Wow! I love them all, but I especially love Fire Goddess - possibly because I'm a fire sign? :)
