Yes, this is a stitching blog!

And to prove it, here’s a glimpse of my current favourite WIP… which is somewhat like a parent saying they have a favourite child (although in my case, the latter would be less contentious ๐Ÿ™‚ ) At any rate, this lovely, albeit headless, mermaid is Mirabilia’s “Waiting For Ships”. No beads attached yet, but I’m nearing the end of the regular stitching. Part of the reason she is so special to me is because she is the first piece I’ve stitched on one of my own hand-dyes. Also, I think she goes very nicely with the Ocadia blog theme I’m currently featuring ๐Ÿ™‚ Image links to a closer look.

And just in case you thought I was done singing the praises of WordPress… wrong ๐Ÿ˜† This post illustrates the use of categories. Categories filter the posts by topic. Select the Stitching category to see only stitching-related chatter. Further, select the Works in progress, or Finished sub-categories, to see only those posts. (Though there are no HD’s yet – perhaps I’ll post some retrospective finishes in the near future).

    Awww, thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am debating on whether to use the space I have or just pay to have someone host for me (leaning that way)… As soon as I get started, expect lots of bugging!

    For now the WP blog will be for the house, but I’ll probably expand, because Panchito clearly needs his blog back ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Hi Mel! You and I are at almost the same spot with Waiting for Ships. I love how quickly she’s stitching up. I stiched almost all of her before going on to the another design in my rotation, which is very rare for me. Yours is looking great!
