How I wish I could duplicate or even quadruplicate myself! There are so many craft projects I want to do but just not enough time in the day to do them.
I worked on several things today. First off is my Fairy Moon by Mirabilia. I'm slowly doing the beading. I started in the moon. There are so many beads crammed in there that there is not enough space for the beads to lay uniformly. I'm doing this on 14 count aida so I know its not that I'm using too high of a count of fabric. I know when I view the finished piece from a distance it will look fine but I still don't like the beads looking messy. So, I worked a bit in her hair and around her neck.
I finished the shawl I was crocheting. It's called Dixie Charm and I used a K hook. I've washed it already and can't wait for cooler weather to wear it in.
No photo is complete without a cat in it! That was is Violet.
Since I finished crocheting something I started a new project. It is called the Emily Shawl and is a free pattern on Ravelry. I'm using a new to me yarn that I got from Ice yarns last week. It is a Silk Merino blend in a category 1 weight. The shawl is quite a simple but beautiful pattern. Once you get started you don't have to get looking at the pattern instructions.

The Lord will never desert His people
Today I worked on a cross stitch Christmas ornament. It comes from the Just CrossStitch magazine, July/August 2012 issue, page 34. I'm using DMC instead of the called for threads and a scrap piece of 18 count aida.
I really need to get a move on making Christmas ornaments. Last year, instead of packing up the ornaments after Christmas, I threw them all away. They were very old ones I had gotten from a thrift store and were in bad shape.
I'm trying very hard to keep myself off the Ice Yarn website. I am drowning in yarn. I certainly don't need more of it. But, its so hard to resist.
