First of the Seasonal Ladies - Celtic Spring Progress

Today I have a cross stitching update for you all, hurray. Blossoming Spring hasn't seen any more progress since my last post, however I do have something to show on another Spring themed project. Lavender and Lace Celtic Spring has had some stitches added to it since the last time you all saw it on here.

Last Celtic Spring post: Beating that New Start Itch.

I worked on this piece a few months ago but completely forgot to post it, so here it is today.

L&L Celtic Spring

As many of you know this is the first of four seasonal ladies by Lavender & Lace, with a fifth lady called Celtic Christmas. I have the set of four and am hoping to add Celtic Christmas in the near future. I just adore the look of these projects and I am often torn between these and the Mirabilia Seasonal Queens, of which I have the chart for Autumn.

I am currently stitching this project on a piece of pale pink evenweave which, unfortunately doesn't come across in the photo. This is one of those projects which progresses a lot faster than I would expect, when I actually sit down and work on it that is. There are lots of nice block stitching sections and thankfully very little back stitching. I do the beading as I go, leaving the only time suck, the metallic thread, which isn't all that horrific either.

I pulled this project out for it's photo session and came to the wonderful realisation that I really wanted to sit down with this one today, so hopefully there will be a change in this by the time my next post comes around.

I have also been spending an obscene amount of time on Pinterest of late but have actually tried a project or two from my ever increasing board of craft projects I want to try. I am looking forward to getting to share some of them with you in the near future.
