New WIP - Vervaco " Popcorn and Peaches" wedding sampler

Hi everyone, after lots of searching online for the perfect 3 year anniversary gift, for my boyfriend, I found this wedding sampler. I found it really hard to find two cats/bears/cute animals being all loving together so although this is technically a wedding sampler, if you ignore the plaque part, there is no real reference to a wedding so I think it is appropriate. I showed Duncan yesterday and he loves it so thats great :). I tried to keep it a secret, but beacuse we live together there is literally no time that we are appart that I'd have enough time to finish it before the 1st of may, without him seeing it.

I think it's really cute.

I was able to finish the brown bear over the weekend which is great. This is my first time using a hoop, because the dragon is on my scroll frame, and it's working okay, I just wish it was a little tighter, but that could be because I am used to the scroll frame being quite taught.

This picture is the most true to colour, the browns are a lot lighter than in the sample picture.





















I'm really enjoying stitching this because there are some new stitches that I haven't done before such as long stitch and loop stitch for the flowers.Update soon, when I finish the other bear :)

Janlynn "Mythical Dragon" WIP - Update

Hi everyone, Its been a little while since my last update  and I thought it would be a good idea to to post my progress 

This picture is from the 3rd of this month

This picture is what it looks like today after some stitching last night

I don't take pictures after every session of stitching anymore, I should probably start because it gives a better indication of progress.



It's so exciting seeing the eye and ears :)
