HAED's Princess Izzy and SK Phuan as of 16th February 2012 by Gizzimomo

Hey Everyone,

First up is my Princess Izzy update! I have completed Page 4 but now Izzy is going away for a spell while I work on some of my other projects. Don't worry as she will be back in a few months I'm sure!

Page 3 Done (As of 15th February 2012)

Total Progress So Far

 Next up is my SK Phuan update. I have FINALLY finished Page 3 and have made the decision to finish Phuan at that point instead of stitching the final half a page. I struggled so badly with the last page as it really bored the hell out of me and as the final page is more of the same and I just can't bring myself to stitch it.... besides I actually prefer the look of the finished piece be finishing it here as his leg looks at little bit odd at the bottom on the cover photo so I'm glad to finish it here.

HAED's Princess Izzy and SK Phuan as of 1st February 2012 by Gizzimomo

Hiya

Sorry, I haven't been about much later but all the different places to post was getting on top of me as it takes so long to post to them all every time I had an update so I had to cut right back so unfortunately there will only be random updates here and on Facebook and the BB itself will be for SAL pieces and possibly projects already on there but Izzy for example won't be, meaning that the best place for my updates is the blog as that WILL always be up to date.

Anyway here's what I'm working on at the moment and it's Princess Izzy by Hannah Lynn. I started her on the 21st January 2012 and am stitching her on 25 count white evenweave, 1 over 1. So here's my page two finish on her!

Her hair was a total nightmare with all the black outlining covering up my grid lines making it awkward but the result is stunning and I love her! What do you think??

I also managed to get a couple of colours into Page 3 of SK Phuan so here's an update photo of him.

Phuan SK Update

Well, this is my progress to date.  I'm hoping to finish page 1 before the end of the year. You can't see it in the picture, but I added some gold Kreinik Blending Fil. to the DMC 3828 called for in the chart.  Just wanted to "dress it up" a little.

Way Past Due for an Update

Hello Wonderful Stitchers!  

It's been a long time since I posted an update, I know.  Rest assured that I've been behind the scenes running the blog and keeping up with buddies, etc.  I read every post.  You guys are awesome.  The beautiful work displayed here always amazes me.  I want to thank each and every one of you for your contributions.  Breathtaking work, all! 

I have a couple of wips to show.  I have 11 HAEDs started, so it's not easy to keep everything moving along.  But that's nothing new to you peeps, you all have so many gorgeous pieces on the go!  I'll just share a few of the ones that I have made some progress with this year.

First off there's the QS Freebie for this year, Fragile Heart.  I've completed pages 1 - 4.  Don't mind the dirt marks!  I was stitching on it outside by the pool this Summer, and DH got ashes on her (it was breezy), it will wash out.  Stats:

Next up my progress on Goblin Tree.  As you know, this is a retired chart from Linda Ravenscroft, so it's worked on every 5th week during the retired artists SAL on the board.  Pages 1-14 Complete.  Stats:
