"Coq Au Pins" Needle NannyThis is what I did on Monday. Who would guess something so small would take so long to stitch. It is only 1 1/2 inches wide and 1 inch tall. I have a kit to finish it into a Needle Nanny and will do that tomorrow (really today) after my eyes have had a rest. It is stitched 1 over 1 on a 28 count linen I found in my stash. Not sure what the color is but it looks more gray green. I used Dragon Floss "Midnight Mist" for it. Now I'm going to do the matching scissor fob and the two of them will be a Birthday gift for someone in Aug. I have 3 birthdays to stitch for in Aug and I better get busy on them so I'm not late.
I would also like to say a BIG Thank You to everyone who has left comments on my blog. I started it just to track my stitching progress but all the comments have really helped me keep going on some of the projects when I just think they are standing still.
Until next time....Happy Stitching

It looks very cute. But I have not the slightest clue what a Needle Nanny is.
Can believe how long stitching over 1 takes! You've some very pretty projects in progress!
Rene,
This is so pretty!! I love how it looks muted, almost aged. Looking forward to see it all completed as I have never heard of a needle nanny, but logic tells me it is a place to leave your threaded needles while working on a project (or just leaving your needles in general when they are not in use).
Looks great Rene, love the colour!
I know what you mean about the eyes needing a rest after over-one work! It looks good, though. :)
Oh my Rene, it is soooooooo pretty. And the final finish will be well worth the time it ook. Lucky birthday girl who gets it.
Very pretty, Rene. Love the colors!
Pretty!
Rene, it looks great. I just love the color of the floss.
