I still have a little bit more work to do on this Wee Fancy design, but I think I am done with the hard parts! I like lazy daisy stitches, but I have to say that colonial knots are not really my favorite. As a matter of fact I think I made too many on the left side (too close together), so I will try and take them out and try again. I have to say, though, that for me colonial knots are far easier than french knots. I always pull those right out when working on them--I must not be getting the tension quite right.
Did I already show you this one? I finished him earlier. I love the little crow. All three of the designs I stitched have a bird of some kind on it. I am going to save the daisy design for some other time, though really the colonial knots might not be as horrible as I first thought. The colonial knots went pretty fast actually on the beeskep design. Since summer is nearly over, though, I am in the mood to work on other seasonal projects.
Here is the last design, which I am sure I shared here a while back. A nice Fourth of July design. It will just be a matter of getting them finished using the tiny frames. I have some serious finishing to get to work on! To add to it, I started one of the little JN "Crowjackers" designs today. I am planning on stitching two of the three and then finishing them back to front as a fob. It is scary to think that Christmas is really just around the corner. I can't quite get myself to pull out my back issues of JCS Ornaments yet, however! Soon enough...
