Japanese Garden

Thanks for all the comments on last weeks progress.   I appreciate and read every comment, though I don't often comment on them. 

Satia- The name of the chart is Shades of Autumn and is by From Nancy's needle.  If you are interested in me sending you the chart when I am done with it just send me an email.  

I am quite pleased with my progress this week with Japanese Garden. I am starting to get anxious to get it completed, at least the stitching part. I am starting to get nervous about the beads- I have never beaded anything before.  Probably a good time to mention that I have a hand shaking problem.  Needless to say it may take me awhile.


I worked on the outer border this week. It went fast though it was boring by thursday.  The cross stitching was mostly straight lines, a huge part of it was Jessica stitches which I don't mind.
    
Thought maybe you would like a close up to see what I am talking about with the border.   I did run out of the gold treasure braid.  A trip to the LNS took care of that. I didn't buy anything I didn't need-  Beads for Fire Goddess (I will have to order the rest online),  the gold PTB, and a chart/floss for my valentine's day exchange partner.   Oh I did glance through the free boxes, where I found two that had charts I liked, but that doesn't count since I didn't spend any money. 


 

Here is a photo of the entire piece.


This week I am stitching on Fire Goddess. I am really excited about this piece. I plan to do all of the goddesses.  I love them. I may make a quilt with them, who knows.   I love the oranges in this piece. It is a color I don't use a lot in cross-stitch.

    It is coming along so great. Just take your time with the beads and you will be fine. They are very easy. If you are not sure, try do a Mill Hill kit. They are very small and easy to do.
