I apologize, I'm embarrassed....

Ok, not much else I can say except those leading words into this... I'm a dip ... whip me with ten wet noodles. I really am sorry that I cannot report that my mermaid is well on her way to becoming something recognizable... I have just been dealing with way too many things and trying to get tons of obligations out of the way to be able to sit and concentrate on getting ahead on this project... I promise from today on to do much better.

On a good note, Elaine and I drove down to CT Saturday to visit a couple quilt stores. We specifically went to visit Thistle Needleworks - OMG! It was the most incredible thread shop ever - I had never ever seen so many gorgeous threads, ribbons and patterns - the walls were covered in thousands of colors and tons of drawers filled. Who knew there was such a variety. I bought plenty and think I now have everything I need. I also found some very hard to find silk ribbon floss. Check the store out ThistleNeedleworks

MOTDB.. update

my turn to post an update..  my mermaid is coming along quite well... of course i messed it up.. by reading a symbol wrong and used a wrong colour.. and had to rip a bunch out.. but.. i'm back on track again... it looks to me as if i'm about half done with it...  or close to it...  i got to use another of the kreinik's... i'm gonna try to finish up the fins on the right mermaid... and then start on some of the beads...  shey..

Mermaid of Atlantis ( Mermaid Without a Face )

I've been working alot lately on my Mermaid. Spent a few hours last night attaching the beads. I am now half way done with this project. Still no face, but her tail looks great. Lots of glimmer and shimmer. I added a pic of the detailed beading. Boy that takes a long time to do. lol Will now get started on the top part of her body. Hope she's as pretty upstairs as down.

Mermaids of Atlantis

Hello Ladies,

As of yet I have not been told to slow down on my project (lol)so I have done quite a bit of work on her. I've used 3 different metallic threads already and several of the Caron specialty threads. I'm just about ready to start adding some beads. I like where this is going. I sure would like to see some pics from Nicki ( hint, hint ). Sheryl's looks great as usual, and Elaine needs to post another beauty. Keep up the stitching Ladies!!

MOTDB..

well.. not too much of a change on it.. (since i was told to slow down.. lol..)   i did work a bit on the mermaids hair.. and finally put some sparkle on her... i used one of the kreiniks in her hair..

how are the rest of you doing???..  shey
