Okay for everybody who is counting for me as to how many projects I am working on at the moment, please add one more! There are nights when I just feel like stitching elegant or maybe challenging or whimzy that makes you smile or soothing, relaxing basketweave or beading. This canvas is by Needle Deeva and will be lots of fun…or at least I hope so!

When my sister was here last month the Deeva took us on a road trip shopping for threads and this is what we selected so far. It is a wonderful start with Impressions, Trebizond, ThreadworX overdye floss & pearl, Kreinik, Splendor, Mandarin Floss and Fuzzy Stuff…with the later being for the ducks.

This is what I have added since! Dinky Dyes, overdye Soie d’Alger by Threadworx, Soie d’Alger, Sampler Threads, Belle Soie, Gloriana, Silk ‘n Colors, a few more colors of Splendor, Silk Lame Braid and lots of beads! It is sitting as is to help inspire me and give me inspiration. Sylvester & AlleyCat are very good as they don’t disturb the threads…but if Felix were still with me, these temting little toys would have already been placed strategically about the house.

I am still stitching on the Rainbow Birds, and as Jane from Chilly Hollow said in her blog this morning, it is tedious stitching with lots of basketweave and French Knots…so I won’t bore you with them until they are finished! and until next time…keep on stitching
