I firstly must apologise for being away from my blog for so long. I also haven't been keeping up with my blog reading as much as I would like. Anyway I do have something to show you all today. I have a piece that I have been working on for a while now but it doesn't get a huge amount of attention.
This was meant to be part of a gift but it still hasn't been finished yet. I gave the recipient a different gift at the time and have kept this a secret. I decided that it would be ok for my to show this piece here.

| Wedding Silhouette - ETSY Los Angeles Needlework |
This is a chart I bought from a seller on ETSY called Los Angeles Needlework. I am stitching this on 18ct white Aida so that I wouldn't have to stitch the white background. It is mostly stitched in black with some grey oulining. I am hoping to added the names and date to it once it is finished.
I think it is turning out really well so far, though the black is fairly monotonous and the Aida isn't the nicest to work with, but I will persevere. Hopefully I won't be away from my blog again.
Lovely progress :)
ReplyDeleteWe all need a break sometimes :-) I love your new project, so sweet. I tried to find it on Etsy, but the closest I can find is some different silhouettes by New York Needlework.
ReplyDeleteGreat design!
ReplyDeleteI think that looks really effective! Just blog when you can but don't forget us!
ReplyDeleteGreat design & progress :)
ReplyDeleteThat piece is looking good so far! And don't stress blogging - it's supposed to be fun, remember? :)
ReplyDeleteI really like that. I am looking for wedding pieces for my niece and nephew - neither one is officially engaged, but it is, we all think, in the hear future.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely:)
ReplyDeletevery nice design, I am looking forward seeing the final result.

ReplyDeleteSometimes we all need a little time away, and your stitching looks lovely! Sorry the aida is a pain though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty piece you're working on--that will be a treasured gift for sure :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful design! I'm sure it will be treasured :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous design! I can imagine that stitching all that black could be quite tedious... but it will be worth it in the end :o) A gorgeous gift that will be treasured for many years to come I'm sure
ReplyDeleteHugs xx

Everyone takes breaks! It's hard to keep up with blogs sometimes. Your silhouettes look great though I agree that that much black can be tiring though they are good for "mindless" stitching so to speak. :D I'm sure the recipients will love it~
ReplyDeleteAgree, everyone needs a break. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! Don't worry about taking breaks. We all need them when life gets a little crazy :)
ReplyDeleteI have fallen behind in blog reading as well. Crazy summer... Just read your posts and caught up. You have some great progress! Your Bridge project looks great. I absolutely LOVE seeing your progress on Clara. And this project is so sweet. It is always fun to see what you have accomplished!
