Mary close up

stitch 172

Whoo-hoo, thanking you Miss Frou for changing the settings ! It wont seem to let me upload more then one pick into a post, they get stopped at 70% if I try, but that’s okay, if no one minds the making of more then one post. :)

This is my squirrel and flying turtle, it was very hard for me not to stitch that bird in green, because to me he IS a flying turtle not a peace bird hehe. I changed the squirrel’s nose, ’cause I thought the little guy looked a little sinister like ” Haha mother hugger, I just stole your NUT mawhahahah” so, now he’s had a nose job hehehe and he looks much sweeter…

Checking in

Posted by chrisalee on July 10, 2009

Hiya everyone ! I’m just checking in to say hello and see how everyone is doing. I’ve gotten to give our Mary some love this week and I am hoping to get a picture up very soon. I’m outta bandwidth so I’ll have to wait a few more days. I don’t have much to show for my effort, I find I am sitting looking at pictures of Mary more then I am stitching on my own project. But Mary just makes me so happy and I enjoy perving on other people’s  WIPS so much!!

I ran into a bit of trouble with Mary today and a frog came to visit me for the morning so most of what I stitched last night came out this morning in between customers at work ( the joy of working at a LNS- I get to stitch at work) and now Mary is just waiting for me to get some stitching time in this weekend.

On a personal note, yesterday and today we had a group of girls into the shop for  a class. They learned Rhodes hearts and Rhodes squares and Rhodes butterflies and the basic cross stitch. The girls all had a great time and both days they didn’t want to leave. I wonder if our Mary Wigham had as much fun at the stitching as my class did today?!

Happy stitching!
