Őszikert 2. rész kész / Autumn Knotgarden Part 2 ready

Nagyon hatékony voltam, és alig több mint egy hét alatt befejeztem az Őszikert 1. és 2. részét. Könnyen szaladt a tű, egyedül az egyszálas indákat és virágokat untam rettenetesen. Mindenesetre arra nagyon kíváncsi lennék, hogy ki hogyan kezeli a gyöngyöket hímzés közben, mert én nem győzöm a földről vadászni őket. Hiába tartom egy edénytetőben azt a néhányat, amit ki merek venni, nekem százfelé szaladnak. Megjegyzem rögtön kiderül, hogy másfél éves baba anyukája vagyok, mert az "edény" egy Aventes doboz, amiben eredetileg anyatejet lehetne lefagyasztani. Na, erre sosem használtam, mert Andrison kívül semmi módszerrel nem tudtam elővarázsolni még egy kortynyit sem, de most legalább jó hasznát veszem.

I was extremely efficient, and finished Autumn Knotgarden Part 1 & 2 almost in a week! It was really easy to stitch, the only difficulties were laying with the backstitched leaves and flowers. However, I wonder how can you keep your beans with you: I was losing them all the time, collecting pieces from everywhere. I put only a few to a top of a small jar but they are always running away! By the way, being the mother of a 1,5 year old, the "jar" is an Avent cup originally to keep mother's milk in the fridge. Well, I never used them for that purpose since I never managed to have any extra, but at least they serve me quite well now.

Chatelaine: Autumn Knotgarden
Fonal/Floss: DMC + many silks as suggested in the kit
Anyag/Fabric: Zweigart antique white 32 ct Belfast

Gorgeous!
I put my beads in a small shallow lid about 3cm diameter, then I put that lid into a bigger lid 6cm diameter. If the beads jump out of one lid they land in the outer lid.
I try to wear a skirt rather than trousers so they land in the folds not through your legs onto the floor!
NEVER NEVER attempt to bead when the 1.5 child is awake. LOL
If you do spill them all over the floor, put a pair of tights/stocking leg over the vacuum cleaner nozzle and suck them up, turn it off over a plate and they all fall onto the plate.
I got £10 for this tip from Cross Stitch Collection mag, it's your's for free xxx

This is stunning, Agi!! I have strays when I bead, but what I do is pinch a few with my left hand fingers and thread them in one at a time... so far that's worked well for me.
