Mini Mystery SAL from Cuoreditela

a friend of mine has created a 12 steps mystery SAL and she is giving us a step every month.
I have finished the second one right now:

if you want to see her patterns, you can follow her here:

it is in Italian, so if you need help, just ask me :)

a new SAL for 2014 - Jingle from Lizzie Kate

I am organizinga new SAL for this year, we are stitching the flip-its called Jingle issued from Lizzie Kate last year.

Each of us can decide wether stitching them as a whole work or stitching the single patterns.
I have decided to stitch the single patterns, I like the idea to make 12 decorations...

This is the first one, for the month of January... It is so cute!!!

Scary Scary Night

the stitching is an old one. I have made it some years ago, but I didn't know what to do of it.

last Sunday I finally made this little pillow. I like it :-)

Pincushions

In this period I am stitching little patterns of my friend Cuoreditela and I am enjoying to make pincushions of them.

Here there are the ones I have finished: 

The blue and the liliac one are stitched with threads dyed by Romina, the red/green thread has been dyed by Sara.

I find these little works relaxing and am enjoying using a lot of beads so that I can use some of those I have been storing since ever ;-)

A witch is flying...

This is a good period for witches, isn't it? LOL

This one is an old project that was resting in a corner. Last week I took it in my hands again, I finished it and made a little pillow.

it is now in my witches collection, among all the other "girls" that came out for the occasion from their boxes and are enjoying some fresh air before flying tonight :D

I have two other witches to be stitched. one began last Sunday... will her need 4 years to be finished as it happened to this one??? we'll see....

Finished!!! at last!

last year I had organized a SAL on this two patterns, 12 steps to stitch them all within Christmas (2012). 

I wanted to do even better: my mom has her birthday on the 27th of November and I wanted it to be a birthday/Christmas present... 

Well, it will be... in 2013 LOL. it took me a little more to complete the stitching work... just 9 further months more or less. :D

But I am very proud of the result! In this moment the work is out to be framed and I am looking forward the moment the worker will call me saying it is ready and I can go and fetch it ;-)

I will show you also the framed version, when it will be in my hands!!!
