Geisha #2, butterflies and a new start!

The last 2weeks have been a little bit chaotic. My plan was to stitch only on the geisha, but unfortunately that did not happen. Though I made some progress on her. I love the little flowers and the butterfly, although they are a hell to stitch. It makes it looks so cute.

Just over a week ago I have broken one of my good intensions for this year. It was not a new start before at least 2 projects are finished, my tablecloth is finished. I just do not have a picture because the bleu print does not wash away L. But that is just one finish.
Bad me, I started something new. I found it in ‘borduurblad’ and I absolutely love it! It is a very easy and quick one, but I enjoy it a lot. As you can see it is stitched in one colour, this makes it even more easy. I changed the red to the light blue, because I think this is more winter like.

 

Last I started to make some small stitches. These are the butterflies, I have made four so far and I hope to make some more. I intent to make cards of it. And then I hope to sell them at the market of the church, the money goes to the maintenance of the church.

Enjoy your day!

HEAD ~ Mermaid update

Last weekend I got back from Switzerland to the Netherlands. 

Since I got home again I have been stitching a lot, because I have a holiday until the first of February. So I started to stitch on the mermaid again, she has such beautiful colours, but she is so big! I got bored with her, until I started on the tail. Which gave me a boost, because it is so much fun to see something come forward! At the end, I could not wait until the bottom part of the tail was finished. But two days ago, I did finish it, which also meant a full page is finished!!

Here you see the full finished page! I was so happy when it was done!

An close up on the bottom part of the tail.

Have a nice day!

New year, new layout, new start!

Happy new year everyone!

I know, the last time I updated was a year and one day ago. A long time, in between I stitched more than ever, and there have been many things, my study, temporarily moving to Switzerland etc. At the end, I found out, the reason that I did not update: I was too busy with other things, and did not have the time(or did not make the time?).
So for me there was the question: do I want to go on with my blog or not?
Because I like to look at the progression of others, I decided to go on. Although I needed a fresh start. So I started to change the layout add some pages etc.
My blog is still not finished, the ‘finished projects’ page will be filled as soon as I am back in the Netherlands again. The pictures are on my computer there.

With this also a short update on my projects:

The last time I have been working on the tablecloth a lot. I got it in 2010/11, I am not sure when.
It was partly done by someone else and I was going to finish it. But I do not like it anymore and the part that was done is really badly done. What makes it also hard to motivate myself to finish it.

At the end of the summer(2014) I finished the first geisha, and started the second just a few days after. There are 3 in total and I want to make them all 3. I really love the colours that are used and the fine details.

The last one is Woodland scene, though I love this piece it is really hard to motivate myself to work on it. It is really detailed work and it takes a lot of time to finish a small part of it.
I became very happy when there was finally another colour than brown, black and grey.

Greetings,

Annelies

~*~ Happy New Year!~*~

Als eerste wens ik jullie alvast een voorspoedig en gelukkig 2014!

Ik heb een lange tijd geen updates geplaatst, maar dat betekent niet dat ik niks heb gedaan.
Ik ben begonnen met een klein werkje uit Borduurblad. Tussen alle grote projecten in is het fijn als iets binnen een paar maanden af is.

Deze zomer heb ik veel gewerkt aan de Geisha. Dit is veel werk maar het wordt natuurlijk ontzettend mooi!

En wat doe ik als ik klaar ben met een werk? Dan begin ik met wat nieuws! Ik ben op een maandag ochtend, samen met een vriendin, door al mijn patronen heen gegaan en daar vond ik een prachtig patroon van een Ree met jong. Stof uitgezocht en dezelfde dag nog de stad in gegaan voor de kleurtjes. Er zitten veel verschillende kleuren groen in, maar dat vind ik er juist zo mooi aan. 

Groetjes,

Annelies

Een nieuwe start!

Een tijdje geleden kwam ik in "Borduurblad" een prachtig patroon tegen. Het liefst begon ik er meteen aan, maar omdat ik nog zoveel werken had liggen, heb ik dat uitgesteld tot ik er 1 van af had.

Zie hier de Geisha, ontworpen door Joan Ellliot!

 

Op dit moment ben ik zover.

 

 

Groetjes,

Een FINISH!!!

Na ongeveer 2 jaar heb ik de beertjes in de zomervakantie eindelijk afgemaakt.

Zijn ze niet schattig?!

Daarna ging ik gewoon door en borduurde ik een deel van de eendjes.

Voor de vakantie had ik ook nog wat tijd besteed aan de Mermaid.

Groetjes,

Annelies
