Chatelaine pattern & Frame on Beatings

This months edition of The Gift of Stitching online magazine has a wonderful piece by Martina Weber of Chatelaine. I was very excited to see that I liked it and can afford to do it as it is mostly DMC and not all silks (most of her patterns are all silks).
So I have picked up my antique white, ordered my beads and silks and am going to do this Chatelaine. It will give me a chance to see how I like her stuff and to say that I've done one.
Here is a picture of what it will look like...



I will not be starting it right away... for now it goes into the stash pile. But maybe soon...


I also got the frame for Beatings and am very pleased with it. This piece is in our "pirate themed" bathroom. And I think it's just too cute. Here is a pic of the final work (sorry the glare is so bad):


I am working on another Sue Hillis the "Love Pirate" (you can see a pic in my sidebar) I will post a new photo of its progress soon.

Coming up: So I will have a new progress pic of ducky as the blue water grows around him. And I will be having a giveaway probably monday or tuesday or next week. Stay tuned for more details. :)

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on Judgement. I am aiming to have page 4 done before Christmas or maybe even before Halloween, but that is probably wishful thinking on Oct 31. But I guess only time will tell.
