FINISH

Woo hoo!  Finished Autumn Fairy.  Will post picture soon.

Trying again

Oh dear!  I've been so bad at this, and I used to be so good!  I'm going to try again at being more active with my blog. 

I've got several pieces that are started and not nearing a finish so I shall shortly be starting a rotation.

First off is Autumn Fairy, published in the September 2009 issue of Cross Stitch collection.  I'm stitching this as a gift so it currently has priority over everything until it is finished.  Having said that there is only a little bit of back stitch and some beeds to add to get it finished.  She currently looks like this:-

Sorry, I'm not the best photographer.  She needs some more backstitch on her wings, then three diferent types of beeds scattered around.  So hopefully a finish in the not to distant future.

Well, it's been another long break since I've updated this and yes, I am still in existance and still stitching.


Curl up with a good book has no more progress on it than before, but Dragonfly does have something to show.

This is the start of the last full row of pages (if that makes sense). I've got four full pages to stitch and then four more that are only about 20 stitches deep.

Hello!

Wow - how long since I last posted? I'm really not very good at this anymore.

Dragonfly is still progressing slowly, however I have finished another page of Curl Up With a Good Book so he now looks like this:-

I've also just finished a piece I started last year (I think). I really can't remember where it came from except that it was a freebee on the internet somewhere. Sorry, that's not very helpful is it. If anybody knows the design and can point me in the right direction I will give the designer the full credit that she/he deserves. What this picture doesn't show very well is that each stitch is intertwined with a sparkly silver thread so the whole design has a sparkle to it.

An update at last!

I may not have posted for a while but I have been busy with my stitching. I did a bit more on Dragonfly and then gave in and moved on to Curl Up With A Good Book. So here is an update picture of both.

First off, Dragonfly, now into page 11.and then Curl Up with a Good Book, well into page 4.

Decisions Decisions!

Page 4 of Curl Up with a Good Book has arrived. I can just make out the dragons arm in the chart and I really want to stitch him, but I'm really rocking on Dragonfly and loving that and really want to stitch that too. Oh what a nice dilema to have!

Dragonfly Progress

Dragonfly has been progressing nicely, if a little slowley. Page 10 is nearly complete now and with page 11 the dragon should start to appear. I can't wait to see him.

A close up of page 10.

I think I might be hooked on HAED designs now as I've signed up for the story keep SAL. I've got page 1 of the chart now but I haven't had time to start it yet - which is probably not a bad thing.
