I have been stitching away on Marion and here is where I am up to. The tree and animal down the bottom I have to buy thread for, so until that arrives I can only finish up the grass and then she will have to wait to be finished.
I also pulled these other charts from my stash and they will hopefully be worked on throughout the year, aswell as my plan to start on LHN's Little Neighbourhood. I wanted to make a start on my Carriage House "Alphabet Blocks" too but the threads are only in GAST with no conversions, so this one might have to take a backseat until I can afford to buy all the GAST threads.

Until next time, happy stitching

Love your projects....if you want to try and convert the sampler threads, go to the Stitcher's Village website and click on their library...there will be a " book" where you can find conversions. It would be a good place to start...if you can't find it, let me know and I"ll send you the link. Good luck!
Lovely stitching. Marion is looking gorgeous. Love also the charts you pulled from your stash. Looking forward to see more of these.
Lovely work on Marion. Nice designs you are going to start. I will send yo an email with the floss conversions for the Alphabet Blocks. I have the vhart with all the letters in the one chart and it has provided the conversion. I am only using the GAST thread for the background behind the words.
Marion looks great! Blessings, Shirlee
Hi, Lisa - I just discovered your blog. I love Marion - I've never seen her before - she's very pretty!
Lovely stitching Lisa and I lvoe your choice of charts - I think the Homne Sweet Home one looks wonderful x
Oh it's great to see Marion nearly accomplished. I'll start her today and I think she will be a fun stitch. I chose a couple of overdyed threads that I have in my stash, some are the ones the chart recommends, the others are just what seemed similar in colour.
I love your choices of me-stitch-charts, lol. Happy new stitching year.
Lovely progress on Marion. Nice selection of charts for this year. I look forward to seeing your progress :)
Marion is coming along beautifully. It looks like you choice of things to stitch in 2012 will be fun, I can't wait to watch your progress on them. Your stitching is always wonderful!
Take care.
Lovely stitching on Marion, Lisa! And you've chosen such pretty things to stitch for 2012. I've just come across "All Through the Night" designs myself and really, really like them...
Marion's looking lovely Lisa, not many stitches to go! I do love La D Da charts.
Great progress Lisa :)
Marion is cute, but I love, love, love Home Sweet Home! Looking forward to seeing it finished one day :)
Lovely projects you've chosen. I especially like Home Sweet Home. I look forward to seeing them progress.
Hugs,
Veronica.
You have some lovely projects to be getting on with this year. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
I'm so far behind on blog reading and commenting that you may have Marion complete - she's certainly looking lovely! And now I may have to look for more stash - love your Home Sweet Home and Use What Talents patterns.
