Friday's Stitching Ground 🧜‍♀️

Today we had no plans, so I relaxed and stitched.


And this was my view for some of the afternoon, Nathan had the troublemakers for a while. Although it looks like Maximus is giving me the stink eye for not being able to play with my floss. 


I decided I wanted her purple instead of blue, so I changed her up and used my glittery Etoile for the first time. It's a little hard to see, but it's there!


Have you used any Etoile yet? What did you use it for?

    Astrid: I do like the purple glitter thread.
    I love the cat, yes it looks like you are getting the stink eye.
    Nathan is so handsome.

    Maximus looks like he should be looking at you over the top of a pair of glasses. Priceless!
    Your little mermaid is lovely, especially with the Etoile. I am planning to use Etoile on some Christmas designs later in the year. Normal metallics would have been too bold but the this will give them a subtle sparkle. :)

    Glittery purple does suit your little mermaid.
    Nathan looks happy to be having a cuddle with the furries.

    That was nice of Nathan to distract the cats for a bit haha. You are close to a finish on your beautiful piece. I love the sparkly purple. No I haven't used it yet. I also love your mermaid blanket.

    You have a great helper taking care of the kitties! I have not tried that floss but your summer piece is adorable!

    Good of Nathan to keep the troublemakers busy for you!
    That mermaid is so cute ..... I love the colours you have used.
    Yes, I have used Etoilé, in my Christmas stitching last year. I found it stitched very well but to be perfectly honest I’m not sure it was glittery enough, although it finished nicely. What do you think?
    Hugs,
