A Letter a Day in May {P}

Hmmm.... what to say about {P}  immediately I think of the word Peachy.  And Perfect.  Which makes me think of Mary Poppins... Practically Perfect in Every Way.  I like this letter.  

I am getting close to the end and will soon be able to finish my other Big Big project.  I love summertime stitching!

A Letter a Day in May {O}

Finished {O} outside under the string of lights while it was getting dark.  I simply stem stitched the whole letter in white.  It was a pretty night to stitch.  

I haven't had much time to put into my other big project and I have yarn on the way too.  New yarn that I am super excited about.  And some other stitching patterns.  I can't wait!

A Letter a Day in May {N}

I don't have any sentimental attachment to the letter {N} but this is one of my favorite designs so far.  I used the same type of flower design as letter {D} 

After today, I will hopefully be back on track with the posting.  I have {O} to complete for the day. 

A Letter a Day in May {M}

Well, I totally forgot to post the past 2 days letters.  {M} is for my name, so I chain stitched it in my favorite color and added a little yellowy splash.  I am about halfway through and I am so glad I chose May to do this little project.  Summertime seems like stitching time.  And, I have a few extra days in case I forget to post after a lovely day that we spent out in the sunshine.

I restitched my {L} as I mentioned in the last post that I wasn't entirely happy with it.  I modified the design while I was stitching it the first time and I should have gone with the original.  Here it is in it's original design with different stitches and I like it much better.

A Letter a Day in May {J, K, L}

Hello~  I stayed on course with stitching, just not posting the letters this last week as it has been a bit hectic.  I love how {J} and {K} turned out, but {L} is my least favorite so far.  I loved the sketch of it before I stitched it, so I think it must be the color or maybe not the right stitch choice for the design.  So, it may get changed in the future.  I am kicking myself for not getting a cool old owl crewel kit while antiquing today.  Tomorrow I will be back with {M}

A Letter a Day in May {I}

I have to be honest.  I don't LOVE the satin stitch.  It seems a little tedious and even though it is simple, it isn't easy to make it look nice.  Which is probably why I like working with crewel wool... it fills in the area so nicely and quickly too.

So, here is my little {I} today.  

A Letter a Day in May {H}

I like the letter {H} due to my last name.... or the last name I took.  So, I did this in a happy little chain stitch with one of my favorite color combinations.  I

I am also in the midst of working on a big sampler/ design that I hope to be finished with next week.  It is one of the largest that I have tackled.  And, I have some new yarn and square needles calling my name every time I pass.  Oh, there is not enough time for all the things my hands want to do!
