Angel Wings finished



I finished these angel wings last night. They are stitched on 16ct gold flecked aida. The photo doesn't really show the sparkles. I have put attention away until after Christmas. I have had health issues. An mri scan has shown that I may have multiple sclerosis. I am having further tests but all the symptoms point to ms. I have had blurred vision in my right eye for a while so have found this stitch difficult but was determined to finish it. I love angels so was a perfect design :-)

something different




I bought some new voiles for my kitchen but couldn't find any tie backs that looked delicate enough so as a temporary measure i used silver craft elasic and some silver charms. It looks fab and I'm going to keep them :-)

I have just finished page 2/6 of attention. The trouble with doing large projects is that i have accumulated lots of new charts and i only have two hands lol. I am determined to carry on with this until ive finished :-)

I.m halfway through page 2. I am so tempted to start another project but i don't want   this to become another ufo

page 2 started




I've made a start on the next page. I was a little worried at first because the line between charts looked prominent but the more i stitched the better it looked.

Happy New Year

Its a bit late but Happy New Year stitchers. I've started a new WIP on 1st Jan. Its Attention by shinysun for the SAL. I haven't done very much but its a start. I also started the angel wings but haven't done much of that either. I am hoping the next few weeks will be less hectic. I have been trying to upload some pics on here for a week but really struggling with the upload. I'll keep trying :)
