My update

I can see the Tower....Now that I've started on page 3 .

I haven't worked on this nearly enough There always seems to be something Else I need to do, but last week I manged a 3 day stint and that seemed to move it along.
My blogger is still going crasy and I can only comment when it decides..But I've been watching the progress and I must say all of the stitching being done is awesome.
I'm so proud to be in amongst all of you wonderful stitchers.
Stitch with happy fingers and see you again soon.

Calming the Tempest (sessler)

I have been stitching on Thursdays, even though i haven't managed to post updates. I've been working on Calming the Tempest- the border is taking a lot longer than I had anticipated- progress is very slow!

Beautiful stitching, everyone!

Unicorn Dream; Gaudi

I'm done with the second (or ninth) page of Gaudí! I've suffered a lot with the confetti stitches, but the end result is worth it, right? :) For a change, I'm continuing with page 2, and a nice big patch of blue :D


And fortunately I'm making a slow but steady progress with the Unicorn as well, I'm done with half of the second page.

Maxine's Dragon Rider's

Well I hate to say it but this month I haven't done a great deal of HAED stitching! I have tried but the course of antibiotics I had before Christmas have messed with my stomach so I have been back and forth to the doctor's and am now almost finished my third course of antibiotics!
I am finally starting to feel better so here is the start of page 8.....
It looks a bit washed out and with loads of white showing through but that's just because of the flash it really doesn't look that bad.

I have to also show you my DD Jennifer's new start her third HAED!!!! This one is Sarah Butcher's ACEO Leo ...Jennifer's stitching it for her sister's birthday in August and has already put quite a lot of work in.

You can just see across the top of this next pic she has stitched all what was missing on the

pic above and has started working on the hair and face now.

I hope to get a lot more HAED stitching in next month and have another page finished (we can dream can't we lol). I have to say looking at all the wonderful work on this blog really does make you want to sit and stitch doesn't it? Great work ladies as always :)

Thanks for reading and commenting. Happy stitching everyone :)

Hi Everyone,

Here is the latest progress of my Pandas. They are finished now and pretty soon the forest will begin as soon as I get all the clouds done. They are going quite well and I have made pretty good progress. It has rained here for the last week so I have gotten a lot of stitching done.

Have a great week,

Update from Susan M.

Hello everybody. Hope you had a great New Years. Here's my January update of Witching Hour. Progress is so sloooow because I can only stitch some on weekends. It's watching all the gorgeous work you post that is keeping me motivated. Maybe by 2010 I'll actually make it to the cat in the picture, LOL!

I'm Still Here

So sorry I haven't posted for such a long time. I've still been struggling to find my stitching bug but after a lot of thought and chats with other stitchers this week I think I am finally turning a corner and know where I want my stitching to go.

I've worked a little on my Moon Fantasy Storykeep and Cabin In The Woods but not much progress to show I'm afraid. Cabin was still on the qsnaps for this photo so you can't see the pages already completed. I will take a pic of the whole thing next time I update.

At the moment Cabin is calling to me the most so I'm going to give that some attention and see if I can actually make some progress on it. I love this design SO much and really want it finished and on the wall one day, but the blues just seem to be going on forever. I have decided when I eventually finish this page I am going to move down and do another page with the cabin itself on for some excitement lol.

It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I was lucky enough to receive a wonderful present of the new QS Garnet by Rachel Anderson which I am hoping to stitch in HDF silks. A very kind soul is doing the conversion for me and once I have that I will start saving to get the silks. I think at the moment I'm going to get the first 20 or 30 so that I can at least make a start on her, then get the rest bit by bit as and when I can afford. So hopefully I will have some pics of her to share soon.

Second row is almost finished!

Hello everybody!

I'm really enjoying to read this blog. Almost every day I check up what's new in here. Such a wonderful progresses you have done.

My own work is moving on quite fast now. I found some motivation to finish my second row. Page 11 is finished finally (it took me really long time) Now I'm working page 12 witch is last page in this row and also smaller than other ones. Few thousand stitches and sky is done (only Kreinik is left now). After that I will celebrate because it has been really frustrating to stitch 6 pages blue sky. And some mountains to do also, but I'm hoping to manage that promptly.
Around 30 % is ready now. Huh.


I haven't touch my Astronomer many weeks now, but that's OK. My priority is finish The Encounter first, so I don't take any pressure about moving on Astronomer.

Have a nice stitching week and SAL my friends!

Mermaid of the Deep SK

Hello ladies!

I know I haven't been here or very supportive in the last few weeks. :-( I do look at your progress pics and think "WOW!" and then feel like I'm not getting anything done on mine.

Here is my next progress pic of the HAED BB's SK SAL, Mermaid of the Deep. I was very happy to see this morning, in the natural light, that you can actually see the difference between 310 and the ultra very dark navy blue!

Before and after:

Wishing everyone a happy, stitchy week!

TOUCHED BY MAGIC

I started with "Touched by Magic" by Scott Gustafson, many shades of blue but I have some variety with a little color! The yellow color become a window and then back blue .... blue ... blue!
I like to see your beautiful work and thanks for sharing!
Big Hugs

I'm back!

Hi everyone-

Sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of months. I got sidelined by my Chatelaine, and managed to finish all the stitching on it, so now it is time to go back to my rotation.

I finished pages 24 and 29, and now have 2 whole pages and 2 partial pages left. I will definitely see this one finished this year!

Everyone's progress is so beautiful-I love seeing all the updates.

I will be around more I promise!

Blogger yikes

Just a quick note to tell everyone what beautiful work you are doing...Blogger won't let me comment so this will cover everyone!!
Stitch with happy fingers!!!

Kathy A- Peacock Lagoon

Here is my latest progress on Peacock Lagoon. I am getting tired of all this blue. How much sky is there and how many shades of blue can there possibly be!!!

Maybe, someday, I will finish page one!!!

Sandra Kuck Xmas Update

My HEAD buddy, Jayne sent me this today:

It has been a while since I have sent along an update of "Xmas" so here we are. It is a Sandra Kruk, stitched on 22 count over 1 and I am loving it again. I am sure once the warm weather comes along I will put her away but for now I am having fun playing in the snow. Since I am not one to stitch a page or 10 x 10 at a time, I usually pull one length and work with it until I realize I have the wrong colour for that symbol. lol, No seriously, I have done that in the past but I am trying very hard to focus on detail. again I say lol...

Have a wonderful day.

Manhattan Wonderland

Finally I found the time to work on Manhattan Wonderland again. And as always enjoying it.

Page 4 half done and I will keep this one my main focus for the rest of the week. Hopefully I'll can finish that page off.

Marie, Elfland.

Hello everybody !

As you probably already know it, my favourite artist is Kinuko Craft.
A few weeks ago, I felt captivated by one of her wonderful artwork : Elfland.
It was not the first time that I saw this painting, but it suddenly took sense for me. I was in communion with the atmosphere and all the details.

That's why I'm diving into this journey with my needle.
And I must say that I'm totally fascinated during stitching it.



Although I haven't finished the first page yet, I wanted to share my work with you.

So, here is my work :


Thank you all for beeing in such a beautiful community...

And, to finish my post, let me wish you all, a good luck for the giveaway !

Happy stitching !!

Marie.

Red Witch First Update 2010

I have been working on Linda Ravenscroft's Red Witch for my rotation. It is now 70% complete. This was the design which first brought me to HAED designs and it is my focus HAED for 2010.

Faery Tales

WHO-HOOO!! Small happy dance going on here at my house tonight. I finished page 2 of 49 on Faery tales!! This one page took an entire skein of DMC 939. I am just curious on how much it will take to finish the whole project. Now I am trying to decide if I want to move to page 3 and stitch the Bean Stalk or I could move to page 10 (goes under page 1) to stitch Cinderella and her prince dancing. Decisions, Descisions.

Vibrant Vista

Hi girls, it's been a while, but I'm still stitching. Vibrant Vista had a little bit progress, so I thought I might show it to you. I also finished the first page of Foregone, but no picture yet, because there isn't much to see. It's all dark brown, in fact a bit boring ;)
Love your stitching, I almost pop in every day to see if something new is here to read and admire!

Vibrant Vista on January 2nd

Unicorn Dream; Gaudi

I couldn't participate in last week's SAL, but I managed to make up for it this week! There's finally more than just dark clouds and sky on Unicorn Dream. :)

As for Gaudí, can you believe that I finally have some colors other than blue to show? :)

"Expecting" Progress Update

Well, I am happy to say the holiday stitching hiatus is over, YAY! Now it is time to get busy and get this sucker done... Here is the latest WIP picture of my "Expecting" project that was supposed to be finished by October...sigh; at this rate I will be lucky if it is done by next October lol... Anyways, as sick as I get of stitching all the brown I am loving how it is turning out - it will hard to hand it over to my sister when it's done :-)

Cheers, Tetcha

Chessie - Page 2 Complete

After more than a year of working on this one, I finally finished page 2. I don't work on Chessie that often, just here and there, but I decided to finally get all of those confetti stitches done. I probably will go back to Wrath for now but Chessie will come back again soon.

Here's where I left off:
And here is page 2 completed:

Keep up the terrific work everyone!

~Kerri~

Faery Tales -Vickie H

I have been working on faery tales the past couple of days. I am almost finished with page 2. However, as you can see there is still a lot to be stitched...The good news is that the rest of page 2 must be stitched using DMC 939- navy blue. Who knows, this page might go faster if I only have one color to stitch.

Mermaid of the Deep SK (Kim scully 236)
