Melissa and I are working our way through BK&BT and yesterday I was able to get the woman, flowers, and a couple of birdies done. I ended up stitching day and night until 12am to get this far! I really wanted to finish her off before I went to bed. Her eyes will come later as they're done with French Knots. Melissa has started work on the tree and finished the man, so she's doing the opposite side to me.
BE KIND & BE TRUE - 23 February 2010 (SAL with Melissa)
I've had a busier day today with things to get done so I'm only going to get a few hours in of this SAL tonight. It will be a few hours well spent anyway.
Now I have some new/old scissors to show you, which I'm sure you've noticed in the photos above. They're genuine antique style which I bought on eBay recently. I thought they looked a bit like the ones Stacy Nash uses in her photos. They just have a bit more detail on them. They're only 3 3/4" in length and are more for decoration rather than proper needlework scissors.
I better head off now as I've got stitching to be done. Drop by Melissa's blog and see where she's up to on her progress. I'm sure she'll be glad you did!

Beautiful progress and I love those scissors. xx
Those scissors are really cute! What a great find.
Nice progress on your sampler - I love the pale blue of the lady's dress. I can't wait to see your finish.
Beautiful progress, and amazing scissors:)
Great scissors and you are making wonderful progress. It is looking lovely.
Jane, what wonderful progress you have made. This piece is so pretty, I love the soft colors and it's fun to see your side completed and Melissa's.
Love, love the scissors!
It's fun to watch you and Melissa progress on this one!
Oh my! I love those scissors!
Your stitching and scissors are both beautiful! You're really speeding along on this one :)
Dear Jane - what a lovely design.
I also love the scissors - they look quite interesting. I am collecting embroidery scissors either, but up to know I have never seen this model!

Great progress! I've been watching Melissa's also. And beautiful scissors. I may just have to go Ebaying today! LOL
I love those scissors. I really enjoy looking at your progress.
What a great progress! It looks like one of these works you do not want to put aside :))).
The scissors are great - even though they are more for decoration than for real use...
You are making great progress Jane and I love the colours. I had to swap out the ecru for the apron, unfortunately!!! If it was just for the apron I'd be ok because of the blue but the pantaloons (is that the right name?) won't work. I tried two to three times and ended up finally settling on a deeper yellow. You'll see in my next post.
I'm still feeling a bit under the weather so probably won't post till Friday.
Those are great scissors! You really lucked out on finding those!
Beautiful progress! Love those soft colors...
