Tiny Needle Tuesday: Raccoon Rabble

 

With all the excitement happening this weekend I didn't have any quiet stitching time but last week I was marching pretty steadily across all that blue sky. I also got a few more beads on Arctic Santa's sheep but it doesn't look much different. 



I could have finished that beaded sheep if I hadn't been sidetracked. I said I wasn't going to start any of the Stacked Critter projects until the beaded sheep was done but then this one came in the mail on Wednesday and I HAD to get started. I did run aground with the pumpkin. I didn't like the DMC equivalent so I am waiting for the Weeks Dye Works floss that the kit called for. It is more of a mottled orange. 




The biggest tiny needle news is that I bought a box of foam core board and some acid free double sided tape. I spent $100 on the stuff to frame the little Needles and Pins sampler last week and there is no way I am paying to have all my projects framed only to have no walls to hang them on. What I am doing is stretching them out, like I saw someone doing on YouTube, and propping them up here or there in the craft rooms. Sheep Virtues was the first to go. I think it's going to be fun digging out all my finished work. Hopefully I'll have a few more to show off next week.

  2. All of your stitching is so fine and neat! Sheep virtues looks great and that's a good idea for displaying your pieces. The stacked critters piece is adorable!

  3. That’s a clever idea for your finished projects. One of the reasons I stopped stitching was the lack of wall space. I may need to revisit that decision.

  4. That's a great way to show off your beautiful projects. And you know how much I love the sheep virtues. That little raccoon is so sweet. I'm looking forward to seeing it when you finish.
    Blessings,
