Elegant Geisha and Mr DNA finishes

It's been a rough few weeks something I do  not want to fully go into on this blog particular blog. Lot of health stuff that only stitching see,s to help though I haven't stitched at all during this weekend. For details go  here. First I finished Elegant Geisha about two weeks ago.

Overall it came out really well. The knots in her hair took me the longest to do. I practiced for about a week before I felt comfortable enough to try it on her hair. It wasn't easy but I think they turned out OK. The original frame I bought for it I didn't like, but the second one I found out at Wal Mart of all places worked out pretty well for only 8 bucks.

 Lastly while I was dealing with hospital stuff for my hubby, as mentioned look at post I have linked above for details, I tried to keep myself busy by making presents for the year. I made the cross stitch item below. I found the pattern here: http://larabrown.net/crafting/bingo-dino-cross-stitching/  It was fun and not to hard to make. I will be putting this into a shadow box and adding amber with a bug in it for my bother who collects dinosaur teeth. Well that's about it for today. Hopefully I post sooner then the last time I posted, but with how the month is going I doubt it.

I had a productive stitching weekend. Firstly I finished ornament 5  on Saturday and started and the last of the six! This project us getting closer to being finished.

Ok I might have over exaggerated about how well I stitched Sunday did not go well st all!  Started on the hat saw I did it wrong pulled out a lot of stitches started over. Then I did it again. And then again I have not pulled out all of the stitches for the third time. The tight see side of the hat, all the green needs to go. Sorry for the crappie photo bad light but hey it also do messed that it doesn't really matter anyways!
