UFO SightingsWhat is a UFO??? Well, it's not a flying saucer! Nope, for us stitchers it's an UnFinished Object. I'll be posting pictures of mine here. Perhaps that will get me motivated to finish some of them. 
Santa's Magic - MirabiliaI first saw Santa's Magic in my local needlework shop. He looked so regal in a dark wood frame with double suede mats that I just had to stitch him. I purchased a large piece of 32 ct. Desert Sand linen and all of the necessary supplies. There were piles of metallic braid and beads, not to mention Wisper thread. I ran up quite a bill at the LNS that day. That was 1999. It's now November 2005, and Santa still isn't finished. I started out quite enthusiastically, but before long, the ACRES of metallic braid started getting old, then the beads. And then I made the mistake of trying to use the white Wisper thread that was called for in the pattern. As it turns out "white" Wisper is not nearly as white as the DMC B5200 that I was using to stitch the white areas. Having the two threads together made the Wisper look yellowish, so I had to frog the Wisper that I had stitch. Have you ever tried to FROG that stuff? It's not fun. And so my beautiful Santa has turned into the UFO that languishes in a drawer while I work on anything else. What really bugs me is that he is sooooo near to completion. Soon I hope to put him back into regular rotation, in the hopes of finally finishing this beautiful project.  Adia
