Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week. I've had a great time so far with my friend Alea so far! We've had an insane couple of days in San Diego and Los Angeles. I haven't had too much time to be crafty, but I've bought a few things to make my crafting easier!
I bought beads for my Quaker Ridge shawl! I'm going to mix the two randomly for the bind off. I have one and a half more repeats before I'm finished and ready to go.
Don't the beads look great!!?? The blue are a little hard to see in the match awesome. I wanted a little bling but not too much.
Here's my cross stitch!I haven't gotten too much further but I just need to the inside of the owl, his beak and the number for the square. I wish you could see the white a little more on my canvas, but oh well.
Check out all my cross stitch stuff! I'm totally professional now. HA!
That's it for me today! I hope you have a great rest of the week and see you on Friday!

Lovely beads! I haven't gotten around to crocheting with beads yet but I'd love to try it! I like the subtle bling as you put it. I think they will look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the colors in your Quaker shawl! LOVE LOVE LOVE! And the beads are PERFECT for it!! I USE ALL CAPS CAUSE IT'S SO PRETTY!!
ReplyDelete*ahem*
Cross stitch is looking great, too. I must admit, you almost enabled me right into getting this one. Then I took a look at my massive pile of WIPs and laid down for a while and the feeling went away. =)
Oh I want to see that shawl!! The blue is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy link above is correct but my title isn't (it saved one from somewhere else), sorry about that!
That shawl will be gorgeous!!! I love the beads, they are perfect. Cross-stitch, ah, had to give it up due to eye sight and kids. Still have quite a bit of the patterns and materials, so maybe one day I will get back to it. Now that I have "real" glasses I can see! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe cross stitch looks great so far :)

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the beads you picked out-- they match the yarn perfectly! I can't wait to see the end result!
ReplyDeleteLove that shawl - the stitch pattern and the colours. The beads match wonderfully
ReplyDeletePretty beads that match the shawl well. They'll be great pops of sparkle when the light hits them.
