3 Framed Pieces, cirque update
I know it has been a long time. My computer was broken so all my updates had to be through my tablet. It was a pain in the butt to try to get photos on it from my camera.
Anyways. I have been collecting frames for awhile now for these pieces. I have about 7 frames. Here is the first 3 to get frames...
I plan to use that same frame for all the crabby months. I am stitching each separately and will change them out.
I found all the frames at used stores and refinished them with spray paint and a sanding block.
I recently was in the smoky mountains. Here is the stash I acquired while there-

Japanese garden, overdue finishing
I got out japanese garden about a week ago. I am really enjoying it and making great progress on the final parts. I am loving all the specialty stitches.
I finally got the camera hookup for my tablet so I am playing with a few photo editing apps.
In other news, I have the first of my used frames refinished and ready to show. I stitched that awhile ago. It's strawberry house by CCN I believe.

Wipocalypse 2
I had lots of progress this past month. You can see links to other Wipocalypse participants or join the fun by going here.
I started cirque de couers. Despite having to frog that big heart 3 times, I managed some good progress. It is being stitched on 32 count jobelan with caron waterlillies blue Lagoon.
My mom finally received her gift so I can show you how it turned out. Took forever for me to get it just right but I'm so pleased with how it looks and so is she. cowboy dreams by CCN. I took out the pony toy the upper guy had and used beads instead of French knots.
I had another rotation on haed as well. I'm about a quarter of the way through the second page. It's coming along nicely. dragonflies whisper by kuik on 22 count.
Last I had a restaurant that on one of last year's Wipocalypse pieces. Snowflake serenade by CCN. I believe it is okay on a 28 count jobelan. I had to redo it as I had the fabric turned wrong. I didn't like the mint green as charted so I have changed it to purple in the scarf and house.
