July TUSAL

It's TUSAL time again!  For those of you new to blogging, the TUSAL is a project run by Daffycat, click on the button on the right hand bar for more details.

Here is my ORTS jar posing with the current stitching projects:

On the left we have You Were Hatched by Teresa Wentzler.  Here is what it looked like last week with just the green and blue stitched:

Here is the addition of yellow:

And now the pinks:

The fabric colour is a much better likeness in the middle photo.  It is a very pale lilac 28 count evenweave.  I have lots of backstitch to do and then a celtic knot border.

Here is the other project in the photo, a new start!  Bonus points for anyone who can identify the design or even guess what it might be.

I finished my Just Nan Big Bee, Little Bee and intended to put it on a scrapbook page along with Beehive Violets but I got sidetracked by re-mounting an older piece which had gone "saggy" in the frame.

Remember this one from 2013?  It was a FB SAL from Threadpickerz:

Finally, we all like a bit of beading on our projects and I know some of my followers actually make things from beads so I thought you might like to see these I found on Mr X-Stitch's blog:

They were made for an event called Battle of the Beadsmith and there's a FB group and an older website if you want to see more beautiful beading.
