Cirque

Life got in the way of much stitching this week.  Still I managed to stitch 2 days on Cirque. It's getting there, but i've really lost interest in it. Still I want to finish it.

This one is so hard to get a decent photo of.
This is where it is now....

Let the Beading Begin- Japanese Garden

The first two weeks of July I worked on beading Japanese Garden. That was for my open week, then my normal JG week. 
Let me just say, I love beading! What fun. WOW do the beads really make it just POP.  
I am grateful to the chatelaine Facebook groups who helped me get my supplies. I made a tacky bob, which works great. I also got a tip to this bead nabber. Can I just say, best invention ever? I was quite worried about picking the beads up, as my hands shake all the time. I had images of beads everywhere but my handy bead nabber really worked great.  I only lost a few beads and I was able to find them before they got away. 
I have hopes to get this done my my birthday- October 14. I think it's a very realistic goal. I can't believe after over 5 years, I'm nearly there.

Japanese Garden Stitching finished

I finally did it! 5 years later, the stitching on Japanese Garden is finished! I am so very excited.  I have all my beading things ready to start tomorrow.  I started this on April 22, 2009.  It is stitched on 28 ct. Mississippi Blue Cashel Linen by Silkweavers.  
It's not perfect and know what? That's okay with me. It shows my progression I think as I learned. Image

Japanese Garden Final side

I decided to work on Japanese Garden for my free week this month. I'm so close to finishing the stitching.  I have the crane and one bridge/ flower set to go.  I'm so excited and pleased with myself. It isn't perfect but that's okay.

Here is my progress last week-

You'll have to wait for a picture of the entire piece until it is finished.

This week is the normal week for JG in my rotation. I will probably not get it entirely finished. Depending on how close I am, I may work on it next week instead of Cirque.
