Water Lily Pond

Butterflies

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been stitching another butterfly cushion!
This was the colour scheme of the first one I stitched some time ago.

Original Butterfly:

Monet’s Room

I stitched another version of this butterfly as a gift for my Sister. The colour design of the cushion was inspired by Monet's painting "Water Lily Pond 2." My Sister has a room with a Monet inspired colour scheme, so I picked colours that would work in this room.

Water Lily Pond 2 by Monet:

New Butterfly; Ready to be stitched to cushion:

Finished Cushion; 22 count Hardanger tented with 3 to 4 strands:

Lilly Butterfly

The Pattern is available on the downloads page.  The colours used in this Monet version are:



Happy Stitching! xxx

      Thank you Natascha! There were almost too many colours to pick from... You should've seen the state of my floss... I had colours going everywhere lol! After deciding on which floss to use it took awhile to put all the rest back in their rightful places!😁

      My Sister loved it! She said it was staying in the lounge room for a bit where she could see and enjoy it! I told her she could put it in whichever room she wanted to, so I'm not sure if it will make it to the Monet Room (the spare bedroom) lol! I'm happy she wanted to be able to see it! 💙💜💚

Nocturne

Nocturne It's been a long time since Nocturne has seen the light of day!  This project was one of the three pieces with the highest amount of votes, when everyone voted for the projects they wanted to see more progress on.   I really wanted to complete page 8 for this blog but I'm only about halfway through.  The chart I'm working on is the old version.   After discovering the art was re-charted, I put the wip aside for awhile to decide whether or not to restart with the newer chart.  I've decided to continue working on the original chart though.  I've already restarted this one before and don't have the heart to restart it again, especially since quite a decent amount has been completed.  Anyway, the newer chart may blend better and have more depth but I still think the original is pretty!  They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

In the Spirit of Diamond Painting

Spirit of Flight I've finished page 17 of my Spirit of Flight Diamond Painting. Now there is one more partial page left till the column finish.  I had a little help from my friend Cathy on a small section of this page! She did the blue section on the left side (Thanks Cathy ;) ): Cute Pens Awhile back I got my Mum and Sister into Diamond Painting.  They are still working on their projects, although we haven't had a chance to get together and do another Diamond Painting Day yet.... For fun Mum brought us all a special diamond painting pen.  There are a whole lot of cute little cartoon type styles available!  I haven't had a chance to test mine out properly until recently... Anyway, it is very comfortable to hold and has a softer more "cushioned" feel than the pink pens.   Diamond Painting Pen: Last Progress Update: Current Progress:      Happy Stitching & Diamond Painting! xxx

100 Days of HAED

25 Days of Treasure Hunt I've fallen way behind with my yearly stitching goals...  So when a post for the 100 HAED Challenge came up on my Facebook feed it sounded like the perfect way to get motivated again and catch up!  I've sort of been avoiding my Treasure Hunt crop because it was getting slightly tedious with all that confetti. The aim of this challenge is to stitch everyday though and that has certainly helped progress. I'm going to share the first twenty-five days now! Treasure Hunt Bookshelf by Aimee Stewart (Cropped Version) Reminder: Last Update:   Progress Before start of Challenge (Challenge Day 0):    Progress on Day 10 of Challenge Progress on Day 20 of Challenge; Progress on Day 25 of Challenge: Whole Piece to Date at 64.55% Complete: I'll be switching wips every 25 days for this Challenge.  Some stitchers are opting to work on the same piece for 100 days.  There is so much confetti in Treasure Hunt that I need to break it up by switchi
