1 Down 9 to go
I finished my first project for my 10 project challenge!
It’s the Evening Dragon freebie from Dragon Dreams. I got it in my last order from Stitching Bits and Bobs. He is so adorable and stitched up in two nights :D. It is stitched on 32ct opalescent lugana in this gorgeous soft prurple colour. I doesn’t have a name it just says limited edition. I got it as part of a fabric of the month package from silkweaver some time ago.
I made a couple of changes becasue I was missing some threads. Firstly the yellow areas of the dragon I subbed Kreinik 028 #4 Braid in instead of DMC 743 and the Knights shiny bits were stitched in Kreinik #4 102 not the called for 001V vintage silver. The words were stitched in Kreinik 060 #4 braid midnight (love that colour) and to avoid doing french knots the knights eyes and dragons nostrils are mill hill petite beads #42014. You can’t see the sparkle much in the picture but it’s there 
I am thinking I might try turning him into one of those cute little flat fold thingys I have seen about on peoples blogs and send him to my nephew for Christmas. (well 2nd cousin actually but he calls me auntie)
I have three packages full of stash I’m waiting for that were ordered before I signed up for the project challenge. One is all the specialty threads for the lost dragon smapler which will be my next start. It should be another quick stitch.
Awwwww! How cute!! Well-stitched and what a fast way to lop off one of your 10!!
And just how much stashing have you been up to, hmmmm? Going to give hints or are you going to make us suffer and wait for pictures?
Hugs!!
Hee! He’s a cutie.
Of course I’m still a sucker for anything dragony. hehe. I’ve especially enjoyed the Dragon Dreams patterns that I’ve seen so far.
On to the next!
Aw, he’s so adorable! Now only 9 more to go … happy stitching!
Thanks everyone.. hehe
And Sue the stash I am waiting on is the Kit from european cross stitch for Japanese garden! and from stitching bits and bobs the silks for the lost dragon sampler and the caron thread to replace the one I was using on the black work dragon so I can restart it… oh and some fabby from country stitch in 36ct as a possibility for my Round robin.
I think that’s all
no you are also waiting for a JCS ornie mag… but that doesn’t count i spose cos it is a gifty from me
cute little draggie.. but i said that somewhere else i suspect…
JM I got your pressie in the mail today so now I don’t have to feel quite so guilty about the mag
I am sending off your pretty little dragonfly at lunch today. You should see it on monday I hope *grin*
Keep an eye on your post for the most adoreable Halloween thingie I saw at CATS today. Since I knew I’d never have the time to do it myself, I just *had* to get it for someone who I knew would find the time being as it’s her favorite holiday. *nudge nudge*
See? I *knew* I would be able to justify buying it! *smiles wickedly*
