I will probably finish stitching this Vintage Candy Pail this week and then I'll have four out of the set of six pails completed, yay! Can't wait for the first Halloween when I'll have the whole set!
Next up on the bars is the Palm Tree tree-- the trees are my favorites in the series. No doubt, it's because of the cool finishing, gotta love the swirly hanger and the dangling base below.
July has brought catch up stitching of all kinds-- the ongoing project that I'm working on for this year's Stitcherie group project got a lot of attention this month. As fitting for the vacation season, KB didn't draw a clue for us this month, choosing instead to give us our "independence" and stitch any part of our canvas we wanted. Again, I chose to get caught up on all the areas of my canvas I had started but not finished, such as the scarf and skirt, as well as make changes to areas already stitched, such as replacing the beads on her corset with cross stitches made of Fyre Werks.
Summertime is also great for shopping and catching up on what's new in the stitchy world-- there are so many new thread colors out that I "needed" to get, plus some fabulous sequins as well. I picked up all of these from one of my several local Houston shops. Those two new shades of fuchsia pink Silk Lame' braid on the lower left are so gorgeous! Those will undoubtedly be appearing on a new EyeCandy model soon!
