1. The Nativity by Glendon Place
I started this piece just before Christmas. I really love it and would like to stitch the two companion pieces as well. I intend for this to be one of my 5 finishes in 2015.
2. Lady Hera by Mirabilia
I started this piece in May, 2014 and have finished the bottom half. I am now working on the top half. I really love the peacock on this design.
3. Circe the Sorceress by Passione Ricamo
I started this one some time ago and then laid it aside. I would like to get back to it, since I am down to the bottom of the gown. It will probably get done sometime this year.
4. Catnap by Kustom Krafts
I started this one years ago. It has been slow going since it is solid stitching. However, I am making progress. I love Siamese cats, so that's why I started this piece. The artist, Debbie Cook, did a number of Siamese cat designs that are sold as plates on the Danbury Mint site. I would love to find them in cross stitch...
5. Water Goddess by Joan Elliot
This was published in Cross Stitch Collection and I started it immediately. However, work and other cross stitch designs got in my way and I haven't gotten too far. I have the other three goddesses in the series and I would love to do all of them. However, I don't know if I will ever get to the others...
6. Two Little Pigs
This design was from Cross Stitch Collection Magazine. My husband Mike asked me to stitch this one so he could give it to somebody. He may have to wait awhile...
7. Beech Tree Birds from Dimensions
This design is from a kit. I liked it so much, I ended out buying two kits. Oops. Rather than using the plain blue fabric in the kit, I decided to stitch it on some fabric from Polstitches called Summer Breeze. I just love hand-dyed fabrics and many of my pieces are done on them.
8. Moonlight Laguna Mermaid by Nora Corbett
This is a design from Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine. I am a big fan of mermaids and fairies, so I had to add this one to my collection.
9. Band of Brothers by Kustom Krafts
This is another cat design from Dyan Allaire. I started this one but then got bogged down in green. I hope to go back to stitching it this year.
10. Zinnia by Nora Corbett of Mirabilia
I have stitched some of the pixie couture collection, so now I am working on this one. This one should get finished this year since it is nearly complete now. I have several more pixies to stitch after this one is done.
I have several more in my stash, but these are the most likely to be worked on this next year. As I work on another, I will post a picture. And you never know what new design will catch my eye and end out on the stitching list.
The SAL I want to participate during the new year is the Cross Stitch Collection Stitch Along. I will be stitching the Edwardian Garden Party design. I saw it in the magazine some time ago and have always wanted to stitch it. This SAL will give me the perfect excuse to start it. Here is a picture of the finished design. I need to get all the supplies together so I can start tomorrow...
That's all for today. Please come back and visit my blog throughout the year to check my progress.
