Beading, Goals, Stitching, Tesori d'Italia, Their Song / August 2, 2007 by Michelle / 19 Comments

Cosmic Ring Necklace
Silk Reflections Necklace
Austrian Crystal Cosmic Ring 30mm
Swarovski Square 20mm Pendant
Swarovski Square 14mm Pendant
Sterlink Silver Link Hooks
Black Silk Ribbon
Finished 7/31/07

A couple of days ago I assembled this necklace. It was a Project of the Week from Auntie’s Beads. It ties around your neck with a silk ribbon, and just sparkles! Another project finished!

Tesori 080207

I’ve also finished up the border for Liguria and have moved on to filling in the block. I’m well pleased that I was able to finish up the border in a week. That gives me hope for making quicker progress on this. I’ve had to go in early to work everyday this week, so I haven’t had my usual morning time to put in a few stitches, but I’ll get back to it soon.

And since we are now in August (my birthday month!!), I’d better recap my July goals and fess up to how I did…

  • Knit on Homespun Wrap Yes
  • Finish Their Song No, but I’m getting close
  • Finish Row 1 of Tesori No, finished Veneto, finished border on Liguria
  • Stitch one WhimZi Yes, Summer Spell
  • Stitch one SB ornament Yes, In a Stable
  • Stitch on Barnabee’s Quest Yes, didn’t finish one row, but did stitch on

Four out of six isn’t too bad!

So for August, here’s the plan…

  • Knit on Homespun Wrap
  • Finish Their Song
  • Finish Liguria and Lazio
  • Stitch one WhimZi
  • Stitch one SB Ornament
  • Stitch on Baby Garden
  • Katrina’s RR Finished
  • And for a bonus: Do some finishing for the August Finish-a-Long

Wish me luck!

Their Song 080207

Here’s a little more progress on Their Song. I’ve got two more words to finish up, and then the motifs at the top. I can feel a finish coming on. I’d really like to have it done before we leave for our trip next week.

Walk to Rivendell: Edges of fields worked by Farmer Maggot. (Total Miles Walked: 61.25)

I am grateful for knowing I am worth it!

    Hi Michelle,

    My, your necklace is lovely, and so unique. Can you tell us what size it is?

    Your picture of Their Song is the clearest I’ve seen on any blog, and it really shows up the colour variations and details in the stitching. What a beautiful piece.

    I’ve seen other bloggers who are working on the Italian regions piece as well and it’s quite big isn’t it? You’ve got your work cut out for you. But it is a pretty, and intriguing design. Is there some kind of literature which comes with it telling you what the symbols for each region represent?

    Cheers. Judy

    Michelle, I love everything but especially your progress on Tesori. You will be passing me very soon at this rate. I am so hoping to post a picture soon but it may not be til the mid of August because stuff is starting with DS and high school (read that band camp, practices, etc.)

    Michelle,

    You share a birthday with my sister! Mum – 13th, Sis – 22nd, and me 26th.

    Their Song is so pretty! I’ve been looking at that, and I have a birday month discount at Needlecraft Corner, so I might have to *finally* add that to my stash!

Happy Sunday, friends! This piece was a mystery sa Happy Sunday, friends! This piece was a mystery sampler published in the first five issues of The Gift of Stitching magazine beginning in February of 2006. I started this in 2007 and finally finished it several years later, turning it into a ten year anniversary sampler for Eric and I. I chose my fabric based on what Carol of Garden of Stitches chose for hers. I ran out of one of the Vikki Clayton silks midway through this piece and @senoritastitches kindly lent me some of hers so I could finish (this was pre-Vikki returning to dyeing).
 
I really love this piece with its motifs and specialty stitches, so I wanted to share it for both #xstitchsamplersunday and #saltboxstitcherweeklysamplerpal - @carolfun53 has been doing her #xstitchsamplersunday for about a year now, so I highly recommend taking a look at all the beautiful pieces shared on that hashtag.

For the first Friday the 13th of the year and #dar For the first Friday the 13th of the year and #dark13stitching @eclecticpossessions suggested we work on Tombstone Spots. We started this piece last year on the only Friday the 13th of 2022 and I think I’ve worked on it a couple times since then. Really love this piece and happy to have it out again.
