It has been a while since I've showcased my stitching projects. They haven't gotten too much love lately, but I have worked on them. I had such high goals this years for my stitching, but that was before I embarked on this adventure with my online store. Building up my inventory has taken much of my free time. It won't be easy juggling everything I want to do especially come September when my son goes back to school and our new bowling season starts again.
Here is Bluebell by Nora Corbett.
Those wings are almost done. I can't wait! I have decided to save my pennies and send this lovely lady off to Rensel Studios for framing when she is done. I found a Fan Page on Facebook for Jill Rensel's work and I am just blown away by their framing work. She does hand painting and embellishments on the mats. The frames she chooses are just perfect. I think her work is worth every penny and many people say her fees are extremely reasonable too.
I also (finally) starting working on the first pattern of the Country Needlework's series called Frosty Forest. Right now I am working on Raccoon Cabin
I'm stitching the whole series together on one piece of fabric, 32 CT Pearl Grey Linen. These designs seem small, but I find that they do take more time than they seem. There are a lot of color changes in the houses. I love the colors though. They look great.
That is all for today. Thank you so much for visiting with me. I hope you are having a fantastic summer where ever you are.

Kudos! Your work is tremendous and meticulous! TFS!!
Love Bluebell Fairy! I like how you have beaded as you go along. I'm stitching Morning g Glory from the same range and have left all the metallics and beading until last.
I'm also stitching Frosty Forest on one piece of linen similar to yours. I've fallen way behind though...only stitched 2 full squares. I love it though and the colours are beautiful against the grey linen.
Bluebell looks beautiful.
I find the Santa Village houses take much longer then I thought they would, still 2 more for me to stitch of those.
Beautiful stitching
Big hugs x
Bluebell is gorgeous Jennifer. Great new start. I have that set but havent started it yet.

Bluebell is so lovely, Jennifer! And I love your start on Raccoon Cabin--the grey fabric is so pretty :) Stitching houses always surprises me because they take longer than you would think!
I love Bluebell she's turning out lovely :) Can't wait to see more :) http://crossstitchfantasy.blogspot.com/
I absolutely love Bluebell, she is just so pretty :) I wanted to frame my Stargazer finish with the Rensel framing but unfortunately it is waaaaaaay out of my budget! Not that it wouldn't be worth every single penny because her framing is just beautiful.
Love the fabric for Frosty Forest!
Bluebell Fairy is just beautiful. I really love those shades of blue and bluebells are one of my favourite flowers. Is the framer the one who does framing for Shepherd's Bush? A great framer makes all the difference and is so worthwhile when you've spent so many hours on stitching.
