Mad Tea Party Update

Last weekend I finished page 2 of the Mad Tea Party.  You can see in the lower right corner the pinky finger of the Mad Hatter.  I am really enjoying working on this piece!  Only 36 more pages to go!!! I've put this one to the side for just a little bit to work on some other projects that I have going on but hope to get back to it really soon!

Solstice and Equinox Start

Here's my progress from the New Start SAL. It is stitching up quickly (for me anyway) but I didn't get enough stitchy time this week!

Call of the Raven update

It took a long time, but I finally finished a row again. Here is Call of the Raven as it is now, for the next month I will stitch on Vibrant Vista, has been too long since I did that!

First Rose, Christensen

The most green I've now had. One page up with a piece of sleeve. And still the elbow. Then I begin the best part. Her face and her hair. I think I finish her ​​first. Although I like the Medusa too. But I'm looking forward to finish her this Christmas. I may be not just like my father, he makes almost two a year. He does think one project forward but two.

Fish Juggler Update

Hi everyone,

It's been a long time since since I last posted. I had a large project to finish and then I could start and concentrate on my Fish Juggler piece (by Randal Spangler).

I finally finished my other large project - which took 14 months (seemed like a lot longer at times). I finished griding my material and then hubby and I went to Fiji for a weeks holiday.
So I was in for a treat when I returned so I could finally start stitching. Progress pictures are below.

First photo was taken as of Sunday 24th July 2011:

Second photo was taken today Sunday 31st July 2011:

This design is very addictive. At the moment it is big blobs of black and dark green but I can already see the start of the design and am very excited.

Til next week - best wishes, Gail.

Update From Kelly Searles

I finally managed to find another light today and when I got back home, THREAD HAS ARRIVED!! for both, Queen of Hearts and Peacock & Doves AND I had an email that my fabric for both had shipped!! So, I'm going to rotate between the 3 of them and at the end of each rotation I'll post an update on all 3.

I'm so excited !!!

Fragile Heart,Rae and Darcy - Hannah Lynn

Fragile Heart for the BB Sal stitched on 18 count aida.

QS Rae stitched on 18 count yellow aida.

QS Darcy stitched on 18 count aida.

They are all full cross stitch 2 over 1.

I have been working on all of them lately and I took them on holiday too.I am really becoming hooked on Hannah Lynn since I have now started QS Winter Green Wishes.Found QS Rosita which I had started last year and started stitching all the black on QS Crabby Crush.

Happy Stitching to all.Has usual the stitching looks great well done to all.

Avarice

POSTED BY NICOLA

I started Marta Dahlig's Avarice a couple of weeks ago and I have completed page one. Its taken about 12 days for me to do it. I am stitching this on 25 ct 1 over 1.

Blog link: http://stitch-nicola.blogspot.com/

"Humble Adobe"

Stitched on 28 ct Lagana, 2 over 2 ... The scroll frame is 48 inches wide. This will be huge but I tried stitching on 25 ct, 1 over 1 and my eyes were burning. I think 25ct, one over one is too small for my eyesight. I am on page 1 and 2 for now.

Magally's Green Dragonling Update

Hello everybody !

I finished one more page on my Green Dragonling.
I'm quite proud to announce that my Dragonling now has two eyes ! Stitching the eye took me quite a long time because of all the confetti stitches but I made it !
I've made 19 327 croix so far. I'm going to start the next page on the right. 2 more pages to go before finishing the 1st row !

What do you think ? Do you like how she's coming along ?

Hey guys!

Well I finally did it and way before my deadline too so I'm chuffed to peices. I put in some hard graft on him over the past couple of days and after page 8 was done then the remaining partial pages just flew by in a matter of hours so Emerald Dragon is completely FINISHED!! YAHHHHHH!

Page 8 Done

Total Progress So Far

Page 9 Done

Page 10 Done

Page 11 Done (Page 12 was blank)

Emerald Dragon - All finished!

I'm soooooo pleased with how beautiful he came out, he was so worth the hard work the last few days and I've sent him into HAED for the Reward Program ( I'm hoping to get Sara Butcher's QS Cardinal Song in return).

See you all soon!

I am looking forward to seeing what's on the next page!  I hope there is less White!
 
Until the next stitch

Threads for new HAED designs

I just purchased all the threads ($80 worth) needed to stitch "Queen of Hearts" and "Peacock and Doves". Herschners was having a great sale on DMC. Does anyone know where you can purchase DMC thread by the box!! I think each box contains 24 skeins of the same color.

Now I just need to find some Ecru 20ct fabric. I like 20ct, one thread covers well and it' so much easier to see with these old eyes. I know it makes the finished piece larger, but that alright with me.

My Dragon Stocking is still languishing since I haven't been able to get a new lamp yet. But hopefully I'll be able to find one this weekend.

Keep an eye out for updates on all three designs!

Everyone's stitching is just gorgeous!! I'm in awe!

Happy Stitchin'!!!

New Way for Buddies to Post

Thanks to Marianela for telling me how to do this.  I am sending this post from my email account.  We have set up an email address where Buddies can send their posts, pictures and all, and it will Publish the emails as Posts immediately.

So Buddies don't have to email their info to a member and wait to have their posts published.  By sending your posts to this email address, they will automatically publish to the blog.  (how great is that!?)  But the email address is secure so I won't post it here.  Buddies start checking your mail as I will be sending out this super secret email address shortly.

Happy Stitching!

New Buddies Amanda & Robyn

I got a lovely email from a fantastic young lady this week.  I'd like to share this with you all.

"Hello Louanne,

I would like to send a buddy request. I'm eleven and I started my HAED design in June. I'm a SAL and love cross stitching. I want to show my progress with other SALs because none of school friends are really interested.

Luv 2 stitch,

Amanda Julene

(P S ) My mom is a SAL too. She has three projects she's working on right now.

I hope I can figure out how to do this like the rest of you"

Next email.

"Yay! I'll try to get some photos soon. I'm working on Pearl Princess by Hannah Disney. My mom likes Dennis Lewan and she's doing a Hannah Disney one too. It's called Felicia and she's jealous because on my first page I'm stitching a fish. I LOVE Josephine Wall, Sandra Kuck and Dona Gelsinger. HAED is the best web site ever!

Happy Crafting,

Amanda"

 So without further ado I'd like to present Amanda's Pearl Princess

Robyn's Tuscan Serenade

 Robyn's Sanctuary of Knowledge
 

And finally Robyn's Felicia

Please join me in welcoming Amanda & Robyn to our humble blog.  I am so thrilled to have you both here with us!
