Framed - Two Turtle Doves

Here is 2 turtle doves (Nora Corbett) framed.  I love this one and it looks great next to partridge.

On the second day

I have just finished 2 turtles doves (the second of the 12 days of christmas by Nora Corbett)

I came home from work and decided to make a start on being a stitching hermit (International hermit and stitching weekend) and finished this one.

Lots of sparkles

Unfortunately I have a meeting at work tomorrow morning but my hermit plans are to do some work on Baroque Gardens tomorrow on the second panel of part 9 and then stitch some of Hummingbird garden on Sunday.  

Here is where I am up to with Hummingbird

I am stitching this on Royal Purple double dyed 32 count linen from Stitches and Spice.  I would like to finish my second hummingbird.

This weekend is such a good excuse for sitting and stitching!  Resistance is futile

Happy stitching

Progress

Hi

I have done a little bit more of 2 turtle doves.  I have decided to put beads on as I complete sections of this one rather than doing them all at the end.  My turtle doves now have their beautiful gilded cage.

I have also been doing some of Baroque Gardens.  Learning point - check DMC numbers carefully before doing over 1 stitching!  503 is NOT the same as 3053 and I hate frogging at the best of times, but taking out over one stitching is such a pain!

I would like to have the first panel done by the end of the weekend

Happy stitching.

My weeds beckon now!!!!

A start on Two Turtle Doves

Ok, I sat and started the second day of Christmas (Nora Corbett) tonight.  This was not quite what I intended to do tonight.

I like the little turtle doves.
