Thankfully I was able to get some good stitching in this week (at least for me) because this next week is going to be a DOOZY! Sunday: Easter. Monday: My big housecleaning day and teach piano lessons. Tuesday: My only 'free' day, just mom's group in the morning. Wednesday: Teach Piano lessons, teach harp lessons, then off to a bridal shower. Thursday: Dress rehearsal for Friday: Orchestra concert. Lots of french music, which means lots of harp. Saturday: Rehearsal and rehearsal dinner for Sunday: Wedding for the girl who was my maid of honor, and I am playing harp for the wedding. I also need to arrange 2 more songs to play at the wedding throughout the course of the week and finish learning the Ravel piece for the concert. When it rains it pours, right? And after this next week things will slow down a little.
Anyway, here was last week's picture of A Princess Was Born:
And this week's progress:
I finished the pink fairy on the left, did a little more of the tan half stitches, and did the whole carriage. That means the last major element is the pony, and then it's just finishing the stars and tan half stitches, the pink fairy's wand and the rest of the sparkles. Then I can do all the backstitch. There is a lot of that... It will make it so, so cute though :) And I love backstitch work.
I also found the buttons for my mom's present. I took pictures, but I don't want to risk her seeing what I made before her birthday. I decided I want to make something else small to match it though, so I will probably be working that out in my head this week.
Welp, I hope you all have a great Easter! And may your week be full of stitches :)
Great progress and wow what a busy week you've got!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenilee!
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you, thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a lovely comment. I popped over for a visit and so happy I did. I have always loved the Princess born sampler but I don't have anyone to stitch it for. It's really cute. Beauty and the Beast is one of my new starts planned for later in the year. Your finished work looks brilliant, congratulations.
I hope all went well over your Easter, you were crazily busy but it sounds like fun too.
Take care stunner xo
