TUSAL and IHSW!

This weekend was IHSW - the International Hermit and Stitch weekend hosted by Joysze at her blog and on Facebook.  I worked on a couple of gift pieces while I watched the other half (re)play Last of Us.

These two little pieces were really fun to stitch!

Blessings, by Brooke's Books

Plenty, by Brooke's Books

And I really wanted to work on Boink or DecoSpirits, but I ended up picking up my MillHill Sugar Skull again.  Because of all of the beadwork, I think I'll rush to get this one done next.   I just kind of want it out of the way with all of those beads mingling in bags.


And finally, it's also time for TUSAL, the Totally Useful Stitch A Long hosted by Daffycat (also on Facebook), where we show off our orts.  These are the orts I've collected since the beginning of 2018.


If the rats' nest of threads I still have available from the Mill Hill kit doesn't take a big hit, I'll end up with a whole lotta threads for that container!

I'll have a more detailed post re: the finishes tomorrow; I wanted to get this up this morning, but didn't have time (danged meetings!)...

    1. Thank you :) I really like the MillHill Kits. This one will be so heavily beaded - I am still trying to figure out the best way to sort the beads :)

  5. I love the two Brooke's Books designs - don't think I've ever seen those before. And the Sugar Skull looks strangely kind and friendly at this stage! :D
