I’m winning against the pile of projects! I got those bands completed on Heirloom Christmas before July like I hoped. Yay! I even started the next band which is the 3 Wise Men:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI love this project. It is so beautiful. Here’s a close up of the bands section I completed:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe last stitch I learned, the green interwoven stitch with the gold beads, is stunning. \u00a0It was not hard at all (but I did need to be awake to do it!). I’ll put this aside now and take Joyful World on vacation. But I can’t wait to get back to it!<\/p>\n

The floss stitching is done on Petit Coeur Bleu. Now I have to learn the ribbon stitches. I’m nervous about it for no reason.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe Atalie silk floss is so pretty. I think if I do this again I might pick something richer. But the great thing about this design is how it lends itself to so many colors. I have seen some stitchers do it over and over again in a veritable rainbow. What a good excuse to go shopping for ribbons and floss!<\/p>\n

I finished my ornament for July. Isn’t it cute?! \u00a0I better get the June one done!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I finally went back to the birth record by Sisters and Best Friends which I finished last year. I wanted to add a star charm on the moon and I finally found the perfect one so here it is all framed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI love this piece too. It was quick and the colors I found turned out perfect. The dark blue is Auntie Dee and the rainbow silk is Glowing Embers by Caron Waterlilies.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a short week this week to finish up a few things before vacation. I’ll check in on Friday with whatever I accomplish!<\/p>\n
