Moonbeams and stardust witch

Here is a picture of my new project. This is the 1st project that I have used special fibers and floss on. So far i hate it. Maybe because it's something new and i'm not used to it. I am using glissin gloss rainbow blending thread and something called color wash. I ordered them from 123 stitch. I received them in the mail today. Here is a picture of it so far. I just fell in love with this design. It is from the stoney creek magazine Oct 2007 issue.

We went to a place called Rolling Ridge Ranch over the weekend. ( http://www.visitrollingridge.com/)) It was soooo much fun. Keith's mother took us to celebrate our birthdays. (Keith's was Oct 10th). I have never seen wild animals before so this was such a treat for me. And Brandon loved it. I thought he would be scared but he wasn't. He loved feeding all the different ones. Here are my Fav animals.

Great new start, i hope you enjoy using the Glissen Gloss more, it does make a project nice and sparkly.
There are lots of different ideas about how to make it easier to stitch with it, you can buy something called 'Thread Heaven' a bit like a wax that you run the thread over, but some use a damp sponge and pull it through that, you have to find something that works for you..... sorry rambled on there a bit

Will you believe this is one of my own future projects? I'm sure you believe me as we have similar tastes !!! so amazing ;-) We may have been twin sisters in another life !!! lol

Too bad the threads are bad ... I'll follow your project very carefully.

This new piece is just awesome. It is adorable. I'm really going to enjoy watching it come to life.

Looks like the birthday trip was a success and lots of fun.

Yup Thread Heaven is the ticket to easier stitching with specialty threads.
