Some of the beading has ended

Finished beading in the red area

Tried a crystal

Will the beading never end...

I can't show all the beading because most of it is  on my secret Swan ornament.  I finished all that and started on this pear.  I think it will be cute.

I finished all the background stitching.  I am going to bead all the flakes and maybe throw in a sequin or something.  

Happy Fourth of July!

This Thanksgiving House by Melissa Shirley with stitch guide by Amy Bunger has so many areas that if you get bored it is easy to switch.

The Victorian Step

Sounds like a dance, doesn't it?  The Victorian step is a versatile stitch.  I am using it vertically for the edges of the Thanksgiving House.

I have used it horizontally for a field and a candy stripe.  I also tried it on a sleeve.

Nothing new

A busy Saturday and a very lazy Sunday equals no stitching to show.  Here's an oldie but a goodie.
