New Start and new Stitching method!!

Hi!!

I couldn't resist more the temptation and start Cupid and Psyche...
The first days I stitch with my antique tecnique (country stutch)  I stitched two colors .
But again watching Flosstube I found a video that motivated me to try this technique.... PARKING

I just can say that I'm in loved with the result, I feel is easier, faster and for me that's enough, so for the moment I will focus in this pattern and try the new method with old WIP's like Mystic stitch and all my HAED's .

My first Chatelaine!!

Hello!!

Today I share with all of you a very special step on my stitching life.

I started and finished my first Chatelaine! Of course This is a very small project but I wanted to start with something smaller before choose a big mandala.

This is a freebie design that Martina (Chatelaine's designer) gave us for christmas 2014.

I stitched on linen 28ct. 2 over 1
I used Dmc metallics and I change the color of the Delica beads because I wanted to use what I already had in my stash.

I totally in loved with this designs, I have in mind to stitch 2 more freebies, then a mini mandala and then I will start with big mandalas.

Happy stitching!!!

Chatelaine Designs!

Last month watching videos on youtube I found a nice girl her nickname is MrsMilkybarKid

and I was intrigued by a designer that she loves....... Chatelaine!!!!

When I saw her video about chatelaine's finishes I decided to search more about this charts because they look very dificult but very very beautiful. I found that you have to make "special stitches and stitch beads. My first feeling was that I want to do one Chatelaine but I don't know if I could, I've never stitched beads or work on linen or fabric counts like 28 or 32.

After some days of thinking I decided to give me a chance to prove myself with something new

I love three mandalas I will buy them slowly because they are expensive I don't know if I want to try stitching with silk or replace it with traditional DMC. I want to try the beads I think they look amazing, but I will buy my supplies a little every month hoping to start one in 2015.
