Stitching keeps going

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. The project I have called as Blue Vase is a FO as much as I am concerned. My current WIP is called the Lady. Here are some pictures, even if they are old.

The outer border is ready

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. The outer border is ready. I am happy about it. Now the gray is behind me and black, blue and other colors get some attention. Maybe I stitch brown next. But how does The Blue Vase look like now? Well, here it is.

The group in Beijing has helped me a lot

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. One big canvas called "The Blue Vase" is the one I have as my WIP. I can only show you corners and sides, because this is too big to fit on scanner 100 %. It's not nice, I know that. So this is the  first picture of the canvas. The group in Beijing has helped me. They have kept me company, and I have let my needle go up and down. This is a wedding anniversary present. I don't know when the anniversary is, but I know the year will come that I get this done and they get this on their wall, with frames of course.

Just some more stitching

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. I hope you can see these 2 pictures. They are from a canvas I am working with at the moment. Today I've knitted more than stitched, but now I thought it is time to share you this. The picture with a basket is "last time we left the Lady" - kind of picture, and the picture with the stream is "this is how the Lady looks now" - kind of picture. The picture is way too big to fit on my scanner. I don't know what happens, once the time arrives the local Framing Man has done what he does best. It may be this still does not fit. This is something 40 x 50 or 50 x 60 size. I've lost count. But the Framing Man knows what to do with this, after I've tamed this. I hope the framing day will come soon. I stitch as much as I can, even if I haven't made one single stitch today.

Just a picture of a horse

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. The horse picture has made some progress. This lousy picture will tell you more.

Stitching keeps going - and scanner is back

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. Finally my printing and scanning device (they are in the same device) is back! I have been worried sick, but now it works. It just needs to be done in different way than before. But stitching keeps going.
I can show you one picture, but it is not complete. It is partial.

There are two horses in the picture, but the whole picture is way too big to fit in my scanner, so this is only a partial picture.
I have another huge picture too. The time will tell if I scan it too. It does not matter if the new owner sees that. She has already seen it. But that horse picture's new owner has not seen it yet. I hope he does not peek.

Many stitches forward

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. I just watched one celebration program. During watching I stitched away. And oh boy, did that one Mystery Present make progress! Now, if only there were a skiing race or something to watch...that stitched picture would be stitched in no time. And after that I'd start my endless wait. What wait? I'll wait for the day when the weather is frosty enough, so that I can walk without slippery and can take that small picture to the local Framing Man. He knows what to do with it. I am sure it will look gorgeous, once he is done with it. But for now, stitching must go on.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. One other family I know...One of their sons is going to say "I do!" in November 2019. Nooooooooo! Family A's present 1 is not ready yet! Okay, okay, it has made quite a lot of progress, but it is not ready. I just force myself to stay calm and make one stitch at a time. The November couple's presents will be late. I can't avoid that. And that November couple...I may have to join with the groom's parents and send them a secret baby gift in case there will be a prince or a princess in the future after the wedding. If that happens, I've done the blanket in time. But let's take care of that young, young couple first, the couple that I've seen, but which has not engaged or said "I do!" yet.

I must keep the secret

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. No, I can't show you. The future owner may come here and see the surprise before it is her time to see it. It irritates you and it irritates me even more, but I can't help it. I must keep the secret. The present is almost a FO concerning the stitching part. I just need to be patient. A few more stitches, and then it's my local Framing Man's turn!

Surprise WIPs

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. I have 1 surprise FO. It is in the hands of the local Framing Man at the moment. I also have 1 surprise WIP. I can't show them because they are surprises. But I have not forgotten my stitching. I hope I will get the current WIP stitched soon.

New WIP

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. The flower bouquet got its' last stitch. Soon it will face the local Framing Man, who does what he has to do to get that bouquet framed. But I have a new WIP. I am sure you want to see it. I've stitched this today like a storm.

That is how it looked like a moment ago.
And this is how it looks like now.

I hope I'll get the stitching done soon. Then I must send it right away to the new home without framing. I hope the target person and her family are able to decide what to do.

I'd call this a FO on my part

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. You must wonder, how my recent stitching project is doing. Well, look at this and make your own conclusions.

This surprise is a FO.
Someone may say that the frame is missing. It is true. But the Local Framing Man's turn is now.
