One of my ongoing projects for 2016 is to stitch up some of the MANY patterns I have accumulated for small things. When I get 6 or so done, I will ship them off to my finisher. They will become ornaments, door hangers, standups, etc. These small projects will give me something to work on when I just can't stand to handle one of the huge projects I have going!
This is the first. It is one of Laura Perin's Mystery Monday projects from 2012. I messed with the pattern and the colors quite a bit. LOL! I changed the corner and center stitches, left off a border, used more metallics, totally changed the colors. It's OK, but not quite what I'd envisioned. The Watercolours I used could have been more vibrant.
Another small Christmas project completed. This is Laura Perin's Mini Mystery Monday #5. I changed the colors to Christmas colors, but used the same type of threads. I am now out of the red/green Watercolours, so will have to do another color scheme for any more that I do for this year! I am determined to only use stash for these.
Christmas is coming fast! So I decided I'd better get busy and make up a few small things.
Yesterday I stitched this one up! It is Laura Perin's Mini Mystery #3. I've been printing out her Monday Mysteries every week since she started doing them. Thanks Laura!
I changed the colors slightly. I used:
Watercolours 025, #5 pearl 890 and 817, Fyre Werks F3 and Kreinik #3 002. The beads are Mill Hill Glass 02011, which I put on this morning.
I'm not sure exactly how it will be finished, but will post a pic whenever.
