Dragon Knot by Mel

It's been a while since I've posted. But I have been SO very close to finishing a page that I wanted to wait! So, here it is! Six pages completed!

Finally getting my act together!

I joined some time back but life was a little busy. Things are slowly getting back to normal so I'm hoping to get back into my HAED stitching!

A brief little intro - my name is Mel (short for Melissa), I'm an Australian living the expat life in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I'm married to a wonderful man and we have two great kids (boy, almost 14, and girl, 11). We also have a rather pampered dog called Tikki.

I discovered HAED in 2005 and so started my addiction :)

I went through a bad case of startitis so have many WIPs but gradually managed to curb that urge enough to actually finish two - QS Snowflake and QS Girly Gothic.

At the moment I will be concentrating on my QS Plum Gothic (Vinson) WIP as she is the closest to being finished. This is my current progress.

QS Plum Gothic (c) Heaven & Earth Designs

I am stitching her on 27 count white Linda evenweave with DMC floss. There are no sparkles in this one.
