Theme-tas-Stitch July Edition

Two posts in one day, what? Turns out I should have time to get a second post up before I need to get DD up from her "nap". She will stay in her room and is usually pretty good, but she doesn't nap often any more. She's currently trying to balance a stuffed animal on her feet... so early night tonight!

Thank you Kerry for hosting Theme-tas-Stitch and I hope you had a lot of participants. I had grand plans of finishing and turns out I had to turn Just One July into Just Two July since my plans went a little awry once I realized my uncle is turning 80 at the end of this month. 

I started out with AAN's Spider Banner, and I still really want to finish this one this year, I think it's possible. Here's where it was:

 Pretty close to actual fabric colour, 32 ct gifted unknown opalescent blue/purple mottled fabric

where I ran out of WDW Cyclamen for the web

 

new thread matches fairly well, and finished the Cherry Vanilla for the over web. The spider is WDW Chesapeake Bay and the lines on the right and left are WDW Gunmetal.

ending here for now

After some internal debate and help from all of you, thank you again, I started something new for my uncle. It will look like this when complete:

and I've made it here so far:

This is 4 out of 14 total colours and I'm almost done the 4th colour. I'm stitching 2 over 2 on 28 count Tempest Lugana from Chromatic Alchemy. I hope to complete it all by the end of the month and finish it with a wooden hoop. I've never finished anything that way before, but hopefully it won't be too difficult. :)

Next month will be Animalia August. A few of us will work on dragon projects, and I just have a couple to choose from...

Tribal Dragon

Princess and the Dragon

Mini Winter Magic

Mini Autumn's Promise

Dragon Under Glass

Or a new start? ;)


Happy Stitching!
