I did get DD's Bride's Purse done. (Pattern was from Cross Stitch and Needlework, May 2009.) Had a couple of mishaps in the cutting, but I was following the pattern directions and cut where they said to only to find out that I should NOT have cut there. But with a bit of Stitcher's glue and invisible thread, was able to repair it. As long as DD is gentle with the purse, all should be fine! Here it is......... although I think I will add a little beaded handle to it....
I put in some time on Lizzie Kates Very Scary Mystery Sampler and got it finished. Still undecided on how to finish it though. I'm going back and forth between a bellpull or framing it.
I have started my next Hardanger. I joined the Yahoo group The Stitch Specialists. They are doing a SAL called Confetti of Hardanger. I was a little behind when I started mine, but have just about caught up. Parts 1-4 are done. I have started part 5 and part 6 should be released this weekend. I'm loving how this is turning out so far! I've chosen to do this on 32 ct Summer Sky using #8 and #12 DMC Perle 3753 and Caron Wildflowers Williamsburg.
Also managed to put in a "little" bit of time on Dance of the Graces. Again, not much of a difference, but a stitch is a stitch!
Lately I've been in a knitting mood. So I've decided to try my hand at knitting a shawl. Never done one before. But love the delicate look of them. Wish me luck!
Until next time my friends! Have a GREAT STITCHY DAY!

It is soooo beautiful, is it your own design.
Thanks Nicola! The Purse was a patturn in the Cross Stitch and Needlework Magazine....May 2004 I believe.
Wow!! The purse is lovely. Your Confetti of Hardanger is wonderful. Love the colour choice!
I think the LK mystery would look brilliant as a bell pull. I really love this design and wish I had signed up for it!
Dance of the Graces is also very pretty. The colours for that are great. It's a very cheerful looking piece.
WOW, great stitching update !! The purse is stunning !! Your L*K looks great as well as all the other stitching. Your colors on CofH is lovely, I am enjoying stitching on this one myself.
