Dr by Rogue Needlepoint

Here's how he looked at bedtime on Friday.  Pretty spiffy!

Petei is back!

Aren't you glad that Petei is back?!  G just got these back from the finishers.  They are so cute!

I got this little guy in Memphis several months ago.  With the help of the wonderful Carolyn Baird, I started him today.  We are trying on different pants.

Glinda the Good Witch

On Saturday I finished the sky and messed around with the buildings of the Emerald City.  Not a fan of either one.

Sunday I spent my time trying to finish the skirt.  Wouldn't you know I ran out of thread!  I hope the dye lots match.

Blue skies

Stitching the blue sky in the Milanese stitch using one strand of overdyed floss.  This idea was suggested to me by the wonderful Carolyn Baird.  Love how much fun Glinda and Carolyn are!

Just need the eyes done

I am so looking forward to this weekend.  I got my stitching mojo back and want to spend some time with Glinda and Betsy Ross.  All I got done yesterday was to finish the skin and put on blush.  Wow, that is some heavy duty blush.  Maybe I should use a light shade of pink.

I used these long cards of Splendor.  I love the convenience of having all the face colors in one place.  I also like not having to buy full cards for small areas.

Glinda the Good Witch by Melissa Shirley

I have not felt like stitching the last few days.  Today brought cold rainy weather and I pulled out Glinda.   I decided to make her face come alive.

Half alive?

I stitched most of her face with three strands of silk before deciding I didn't like it.  Frogged it and this is the redo I got done after dinner.
