C A Wells Pyramid FINISH

It took alot of hours to finish this....I'm guessing about 50 - 60 hours...Well worth the feeling I have right now!!! LOL

I've ordered some 2 1/2" scissors to fit and am trying to find a 2 inch ruler to go into the other pocket

Ca Wells Update

I have just come back from having the most wonderful weekend in Perth doing a C A Wells class! I have met some lovely ladies from America and South Africa aswell as the gorgeous Perth girls! I stayed with a lady I only spoke to over the phone, Judy and she and her family were absolutely wonderful! I miss her already!!!! :( C A was alot of fun and on the first day, I found it a little hard going doing the pyramid. ALOT of work...Sunday was a little more easy going and I actually finished the peacock piece! I can't believe I came home with something finished....Here is a photo of me with CA and Judy
Don't laugh! I know the pyramid isn't much and this is just the pincushion!! It took all of Saturday to put this together (inbetween the morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea - hehe)

Bonjour

Boy, was I spoilt today!!! I received my goodies from Elisabeth in France and was so over whelmed with what I received, I had tears! I have always wanted a Sajou Accordian Book and now I have one. I just love the biscornu that she made me! I will treasure these items forever. Isn't the tin just gorgeous? I have been buying the French Magazine for a little while now, but don't have this latest one! I am so lucky. Elisabeth, if you read this, merci beaucoup

This is what I gave Elisabeth.....I can finally show in full what I stitched! 1 over 1 cross stitch pinkeep with tiny pins and silk ribbon. It only measured about 1 1/2"x 1 1/2". Dinky dyes thread and some Assorted Cadbury Easter Eggs...

I have also finished all the Peacock Needlecase stitching! HOORAY!!!

Ca Wells Update

Yey!!!!! I have another update...I have been working madly on this project to have it ready for Perth. Boy, it's been hard with kids off school for two weeks (holidays) The Peacock one has been growing on me....

CA Wells Update

I thought it was time to show an update of my CA Wells Pyramid Etui and this time I also have a photo of the Peacock Needlecase aswell. I'm not that keen on the colours of the peacock, they are too bright for me. If it wasn't for the class in three weeks, I wouldn't be doing it. I love stitching it, the colours are just too bright. Perhaps I should have changed them, Oh well. On the other hand, I love the colours of the Pyramid. Very soft....

Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette - Official Site Check out the photo section - LOVE those shoes and cushion!!!

Well, last week I went and saw "Marie Antoinette" (directed by Sofia Coppola) with a girlfriend and our daughters...Since I love period costumes and eras, aswell as learning French, I thought this would be a great movie to see. I had heard bad reports about it, but I LOVED it!

I have also been working on CA Wells again this week...Only 4 weeks to go and I also have the Peacock one to start. I have booked my flight and can't wait! I will post a progress picture very soon!

CA Wells Update

Well, I have a CA Wells class update! I have done alot of stitching for the upcoming class in Perth. I must say that I am absolutely loving every bit of the stitching for this so far....

And here is a picture of my gorgeous Retrievers, Lilley and Maggie
