Giveaway #3 - DMC Variegated Floss

Well as promised here is Giveaway #3 on my blog.
It is for a collection of DMC Variegated Floss. These have been in my stash for a very short time and I have realized I likely do not have a use for them. So I figured a giveaway was in order.
You will receive all the colours you see in the picture below.



How to enter:
- Leave a comment on this post (and this post only) that you would like to be entered and please include your email address if it is not public on your profile.

The drawing will take place on Monday, Sept 21 (and I will post the winner likely tuesday morning and of course be in touch with them via email).

Good luck!

Papillon SAL - Part 3 Complete! (and Pirate WIP pic)

Well after many discussions about the Papillon Creations SAL on my ILCS Yahoo Group I felt inspired to get Part 3 done this weekend.
I only have to frog like 4 times. That has to be a record for a part. There is alot of counting in this one and it's pretty tough.
Anyhow... here it is so far:



And a perspective shot:



I also worked a bit on my Love Pirate. Here it is so far (and yes the material is all bunchy and needs to be ironed because I don't have this one on scroll rods. Just doing it in my hand. So forgive the creases...


Coming up: A giveaway! Look Wednesday for a giveaway here! :)

Ducky WIP

A note to all those who were directly affected or knew those in the 9/11 attacks. We are all thinking of you... even those of us that are not American... My thoughts go out to everyone.


Alright... onto stitching stuff.
I have been working on the ducky... and have started in on the blue.. the yellow is now all done. In the bottom right you will see how the last colour is a pale sky blue.. .that is the true edge and will go all the way around. This allows us to have some water, the bubbles but still show the pretty pretty colour of the material.
Here is the pic:



There will for sure be a giveaway next week. Probably tuesday, so watch for that here on my blog.
Until then I hope everyone has a great weekend. And thank you so much for your comments!
