Two New Starts and the Shoes!

Hi Everyone! Yes, I was bad last night and started two new projects. Even though I have about 20 wips and ufos languishing out there. Oh well, it's my hobby and I'll start if I want to! LOL! :)

I started L&L Celtic Autumn...



You have to squint to see it. It's a tiny foot and part of a hem. Not a lot done. I spent most of my stitching time trying to decide which fabric to use. I eventually went with my latest favorite. 32 ct. Lambswool Jobelan. I'm changing the colors to oranges and greens. I think it's going to be so pretty! :) I joined the Celtic Lady SAL that Karen set up.

My second start is Curly Q Ewe. I couldn't resist putting a few stitches in this one. The fabric is to die for! 32 ct. Patina Belfast by Lakeside Linens, it's so soft! Here's my tiny little wip for this one...



This one is much bigger than I realized, but I know I'm going to have fun stitching it. Oh and here's the shoes. I couldn't forget that. The pictures aren't the greatest because he was in constant motion. We went to my brother's house and he was having a blast playing outside!





Well, that's all for now! I've got to get some work done! :)

  1. Lovely starts Nicole, both are going to be wonderful projects. I really like the colors you picked out for Celtic Autumn, much more fitting than the purples called for.

  9. Love the shoes (and the little guy!)

    Nice starts! I agree - it's your hobby (or obsession!) and if you want to start 2 projects, that's your prerogative!

  13. I think suffering from too many WIPs is a trait of all stitchers - at least I know I do!

    What a cutie patootie in those shoes!
