1. I am a smalls girl. I missed stitching my smalls very, very much. I stopped Theotokos a few times so I could stitch smalls.
2. I really don't care for beading! Dani had suggested Nymo thread for beading. She told me one spool would go a long way. I used almost the entire thing! Beading sure takes a loooong time.
3. I prayed a lot while stitching this. This piece in particular really kept my focus on God.
Brian is very happy with it! He has thanked me many times. We will take it with us to church and have Father bless it. Then we will get it framed. In a bit. Need to scrape up a little cash for that.
I started stitching a tiny small last night. Feels great! :)
Have a super day my friends! I thanked God for you today!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Beautiful stitching Vickie. Having googled Theotokos I appreciate the meaning of this lovely design,no wonder your husband is thrilled.
I missed your last post I am sorry that Mabel is under the weather again,I hope she improves every day.

Wow wow wow! So so beautiful! Congratulations on persisting through it and finishing this beauty! I know what you mean about your experience stitching this one. When I was stitching my Advent Calendar piece years ago with scenes from the Bible, I felt a special kind of peace while stitching it. Continued prayers for Mabel. So glad she's improving.
Congratulations on finishing this stunning project - you must be very proud of it, well done. I know, beading is definitely slower than stitching...
Such a gorgeous piece! Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment!!
Yay! What an accomplishment! Enjoy stitching your small. : ) I hope Mabel is feeling better soon.
What an amazing finish Vickie. That looks like one detailed piece of work. It is so beautiful and despite how long it must have taken to bead, they give it that last little touch. Absolutely beautiful.
I'm with you on the big projects vs small.
I like to inject some smalls into my stitching and have 1 BIG project on the go at the same time. If I didn't have my smalls I think I'd go crazy :)
A change of scenery is really important I think.
Have a great weekend!
