Lizart: December 2014

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 14, 2014. We are moved, but unpacking will take forever! This is the view from the breakfast nook of our new home. I will use this photo as my header when I figure out how to change it! Still no stitching being done, but eventually I will have a nice big studio. Sunday, December 7, 2014. 5-4-3-2-1. Progress 3. Note: I am writing this up ahead of time because I know that the week this posts I will be in the midst of box world, having just moved into our new house! View my complete profile.

Lizart: Pink Bargello, Finished

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/pink-bargello-finished.html

Friday, July 3, 2015. Pink Bargello, Finished. The pink bargello is finished! DH cut the back off of the pin I had so it would sit flat on the canvas and I tacked it on with some Kreinik #4 braid. I just happened to have a pretty little silver frame and it fit perfectly! Threw away the glass, trimmed the canvas to fit (left about 5 blank threads all around) and stuck it in there. DONE! How easy is that? Brenda M. Côté. This is so beautiful. Love the pin and yes, the frame is perfect. How pretty is that!

Lizart: April 2015

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Like many stitchers this week, I just received my brand new The Needlepoint Book. By Jo Ippolito Christensen, the new edition. I know, I swore I wouldn't buy the hardback version, but I caved. I just couldn't stand it. Had to have it! It's kind of like the manual for that new appliance or new car: After you've used the product for a little while, go back and read the manual and find out all the stuff you missed! Kudos, Jo, a fabulous job! Sunday, April 26, 2015. Labels: America...

Lizart: June 2015

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 26, 2015. Purrfect Spring, May and June. Purrfect Spring got lots of stitching for May and June. For May I stitched all of the sky - acres of basketweave in wool. For June I did the flowers and grass outside the window. The flowers are little French knots in pearl cotton and the grass is my version of a slanted, encroaching gobelin with just 2 strands of floss in 2 colors of green. What are these cats looking at anyway? Sunday, June 21, 2015. Friday, June 19, 2015. We have a friend who is a ...

Lizart: May 2015

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 29, 2015. Diamond Delight III - Progress 2. DebBee's Designs "Diamond Delight III". Started last summer or fall. It took me forever to complete all the eyelets, but once that was done it has moved along nicely. Originally I did not plan to change any of the threads/colors, but that hasn't quite worked out! The stitch that was supposed to be in the center didn't work for me. So I changed it, but used the called for thread. I plan to put a jewel or beads of some sort in the center of it. First ...

Lizart: Marbled Circle

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/marbled-circle_7.html

Tuesday, July 7, 2015. About a month ago, I had cataract surgery and after a few days I decided I HAD to stitch even though my vision wasn't very good! So I looked for something in my stash that would be "easy" as I didn't want to work on any of my "important" projects. First I realized it was on interlock canvas - which I hate! Hooray for being able to see again! I had to chuckle while reading this. What we wont put up with just to put thread on canvas sometimes! July 7, 2015 at 5:22 AM. It is really lo...

Lizart: November 2014

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 30, 2014. Linda, Progress 6. Linda is finished, except for beads. I can't do the beads until we get moved and unpacked as my stash is in storage! The good news is, we are moving this next week! It will be a few weeks before I find my stash, but at least the end is in sight! Sunday, November 23, 2014. American Beauty Rose, Progress 2. This doesn't look much different than the last time you saw it. That's because I haven't worked on it much! AND, Happy Thanksgiving to you all this week.

Lizart: July 2015

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. Marbled Circle, Progress Report. Here's a progress report on this odd little canvas. This is an actual photo, better than the scan. Now that I can work on harder stuff, this project has become "that which I work on when I'm tired of everything else! Friday, July 24, 2015. Diamond Delight III Finished. Finally - cataract surgery recovery is complete and I have new glasses. It was a long haul. It's so great to be able to see properly again! Friday, July 17, 2015. Purrfect Spring, July.

Lizart: Linda is Finished

http://lizartblog.blogspot.com/2015/05/linda-is-finished.html

Sunday, May 17, 2015. Finally, Linda (by Orna Willis) is finished! It needed a lot of beads, and I added to it by deciding to do a bead cluster in each of the outside Jessicas. I also found (in my box of odd things) a crystal bead with an aurora borealis finish to one side - so I put that in the very center. I like it! It's very different from any of the colorways shown on the pattern. Another one to go in the to be framed pile. What a study in Jessicas! May 17, 2015 at 4:35 AM. It is beautiful, Liz!
