Last finish for a while

I think I may be at the end of my record-breaking run of wee finishes now … I stayed up late tonight to put the final beads onto my little ornie, making 4 finishes in as many days – woohoo! 😀

“Red Berries” by Rosewood Manor
from Issue 11, December 2006, Gift of Stitching magazine
with DMC 221 and Hand Dyed Fibers premium silk “Jewel Weed”
stitched on 28ct white Cashel linen

I really should learn to take photos in daylight, instead of 11.30pm under bright light globes!  It really doesn’t do this piece justice, as the beads are a beautiful metallic red.  I have to admit, though, if I were to do this piece again, I would probably forget about the ‘star/snowflake’ things in the corners, as it seems a bit overcrowded and overpowering to me … but all in all I’m relatively happy with it 🙂

Now I have the quandary of what to work on next … I’m pretty keen to work on a number of projects, and the main ones that are calling me are probably the following:

• Ghastly Ghostly Ghouls – Just Nan
• Hocus Pocus – Lizzie*Kate
• Winter Snapperland – Bent Creek
• Ladybug, Ladybug – Little House Needleworks
• 2008 Halloween Fairy – Mirabilia (magazine chart)
• Halloween Needleroll – Shepherd’s Bush
• Quaker Huswif – Sampler Cove

And the list goes on … and on … and on …

Ah, decisions, decisions … 😛
