Chatelaine framed and other updates

Yesterday I picked up my framed Chatelaine, Celtic Garden Mandala, from my LNS. It was quite fun, because there was a workshop going, and there I was, showing off and being proud :) And still no voice, so all I could do was whisper, giggle and show a big smile. I'm sure I showed that smile to all the stitchers who were ah -ing an oh- ing! The framer did an outstanding job, so I already know who is to frame the next finish LOL. This is the last blogpost I'm going to talk about her, time for something new! I will put her away in the sidelines.



In the meantime I started a new SAL, Mary Wigham. Interested? You can find her here, free to download. Quite some time ago, I purchased a big piece of 40 ct R&R Fabric. And the moment I saw the Mary Wigham Sampler, this piece of fabric came into my mind. It sure was to be meant to be Mary Wigham fabric. I stitch it one over two and bless my Ottlamp for having a magnifier!



I can't help myself talking about Chatelaine, but now it will be Holland Springtime, started some weeks ago.



And my HOHRH is getting a little bit progress on the second house. Being at home from work had its advantages LOL

Oh just lovely!!! I like your framer too -- you deserved to show off your wonderful finish in front of all those ladies. I'm looking forward to seeing your next Chatelaine -- it's one I was tempted to get. I like your other WIP as well. Feel better -- hope your voice comes back soon!

Gorgeous! I've had this kitted up for a year - maybe this will give me incentive to start. Just gorgeous.

Gorgeous framing on the Celtic Garden!! And how on earth can you stitch on so many large projects at the same time? Oh wait, I do that too... lol. They're all lovely, and all ones I want to do too (except Houses of HRH, that's already done). Great stitching!
