Ta da!
I joined the up for a challenge challenge this year, to finish 15 WIPs. Here is #2 for the year. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I tend to choose BAP's for the most part.
This is Angel of Dreams by Hanky Panky Designs.
She is stitched with 712 pearl cotton #5, #8, and #12 for the needleweaving on antique white Dublin linen.
Mother of pearl stars on her wings and collar
Cream colored 3mm pearls and seed beads on her skirt
I covered the cone with gold lame to shine through the weaving.
A close up of her skirt
She was a lot of fun to stitch and I'm very proud of her! Now to figure out which project next to work on!

Progress and Hardanger scissors
I am getting SO close to being done with this angel! Here are a few not so good pictures of my progress....
her collar.....
her sleeves.........
a close up of 1 wing....
her wings.
She is really fun to work on but it's not going as fast as I would like! I hope to have her done in the next week or so.
Nordic Needle is having a sale and I've wanted these scissors for so very long! They were almost $10.00 off the original price! They are by Dovos and are made for Hardanger work.
I am going to have to make a Hardanger scissors fob for them :-)
Spring can't get here quick enough for me! I am so tired of gray, dreary, cold, rainy and snowy days! Maybe after I finish the angel, I will start a new project with lots of bright colors!
Take care!

Progress and I caved!
I've been working on Angel of Dreams by Hanky Panky Designs and here is my progress. This is her skirt
I got the first 2 rows of filling stitches done and I don't have much of the last row of filling stitches to do. The last row is wrapped bars with doves eyes and I'm having a heck of a time with the wrapped bars! If anyone has any tips on making them easier, I'd sure appreciate it! When I'm done with her skirt, I just have to do the sleeves and wings and I think maybe a hair decoration.
When I got too frustrated with the hardanger piece, I caved and started another project, Dog Lessons for People by Lizzie Kate. Here is where I was yesterday on it. I am much farther on it now, down to the 3rd row. This is an easy stitch! I wanted something that didn't require a lot of attention and this is fun and a nice break.
While I was stitching yesterday, it was snowing outside. We got about 3 or 4 inches. Not too bad, but I didn't venture out all day and got a lot done around the house!
We're supposed to get more this coming week, with one storm a "major" storm. I hope it's not ice! We still have 2 inches of ice under this snow and it's still very treacherous out there!
I hope you are all safe and warm and have plenty of stitching to do!
