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:

 There's a few more that got attention so far this year, but this post is already too long, and I don't want to bore you!  So I'll sign off for now.  Thanks for reading, my stitchy possums!  Go in Stitchyness!

Fragile by Kirstin Mills

Last weeks I have been working on Storykeep Fragile, (artwork by Kirstin Mills) and I’ve finished it. It’s my first HAE finish. It’s a very small chart (40 W by 181 H), but on it you can see sixty different colors. It’s stitched on 25 count lugana, one over one.

I go on stitching on Angelic, I hope to show you an update this weekend.

I hope you like it,

Soul searchers tryptich linda ravenscroft

I have had a few ups and downs this week a page finish of faerie melody at the start of the week that I posted

and my youngest son had a accident at school which resulted in a 2 1/2 hour operation and having to have pins inserted which will result in more operations in a few weeks or months.

I have suffered a few sleepless nights and just have not had the energy or time to stitch

 

I did however get a couple of days in before the accident

so here is an update

I started page 2 and continued on to page 3 a little as page lines are a huge worry for me

 

page 1 finished a little over 1/4 of page 2 complete

 
2 over 1 on 18 count

Happy stitching Tanya

Mini Curl Up with a Good Book

This is the first update on Mini Curl up with a Good Book and although there isn't too much to see I thought people may be interested to see the new format in progress. I'm doing this 1 over 1 on 28ct evenweave. I have outlined the edge of the design, which is more or less square, and have placed a pair of scissors in frame to help show scale.

Have a good weekend all. x

First Rose, Christensen

I finished half of the face. It is a spectacular sight. The photo was taken a bit from the bottom, so it seems a little out of proportion. I am satisfied with the face. I hope to have it ready in November so I can go back to the Christmas stocking. And the Medusa is lonely.
It is wonderful autumn weather. The leaves change color nicely. And storms roar around the house. Lovely stitching weather.

Die Walküre, from K. Craft

Hello everybody !

I have added one more page to this marvelous journey.
I hope that you will enjoy the pictures.

It is stitched on a Sylkweaver fabric, 25 count, with two strands of thread.

Faerie Melody as of 17th October 2011 (Page 9 Done) by Gizzimomo

Hi Everyone!

Page 9 of Faerie Melody is finally done even though I thought I'd never fill in all the really dark 939 blue.... it took FOREVER and was well boring!

Page 9 Done

Progress So Far

I finished the page last night and had a little helper while I was stitching......

..... excuse the Winnie The Pooh pajama's (I was having a PJ day yesterday)! I had Charley sat under my stitching the whole time I was stitching on Faerie Melody last night.

.

So now it's back to page 10 of Faerie Melody before I get back to SK Phuan as the next page has come through so I will see you all very soon with another update!

Unicorn Dream - Week 94, Dreams of Gaudí - Week 89

Unbelievable, but looks like I'm slowly leaving the confetti behind. Thanks to filling up the holes I've finally completed the princess and her balcony. Now it's on to the dragon! :)

But the confetti-storm is still on in Gaudí, around the sky and the leaves:

Faerie melody after 11 days of stitching

Hi everybody
 
This week I have really struggle to find time to stitch only managing a couple of hours on 4 days, I love this design it is amazing although I have only done a small amount
 of stitching the detail  is really surprising me you can really make out what is in the picture I have almost finished page 1.
 
(hoping I'll finish over the weekend if I have time to stitch will add a complete page finish photo when it has been stitched fingers crossed).

Faces of Faery #88

Here is my progress so far on my Faces of Faery 88. I havent had a lot of time, or as much as I would have liked to have, due to school and babysitting but I got the first side row completed. I already love how it is turning out and I cant wait to see more of it.

Take Care!!

Faery Tales Update

Hi All, Here is my monthly update on Faery Tales by James C Christian done on 18ct aida.This is the end of page 25 so only another 15 left.

I usually post weekly updates on my blog here if anyone is interested.
Cheers,Sharine

This is my first post on this site so I hope I get everything correct.
 
I have just started my first haeds
 
yes I said haeds how could you pick just one to stitch they are all so gorgeous,
 
This site has been a part of my daily ritual for the past few months.
I love looking at everybody's wonderful stitching and I am amazed at how fast some people can stitch.
 
my first adventure is Soul searchers tryptich by linda ravencroft
which I first started on 25 count 2 over 1 but found it to bulky and some how made a hole in my material when I had to frog,
so I restarted 1 over 1 on 25 count and I was stitching in rows of 10 down the page but was unhappy with the lines it was leaving,
so I restarted again and I am extremely happy

Buddy List Updated

Hello from your friendly Admin!
You may notice a few more buddies in the list. I just have a couple of comments to our Buddies that email their posts to the blog. You need to write your name in the body of your post (that you email). Since the blog thinks all emailed posts come from me. So make sure you say who you are in your post, so that people will know to whom they are commenting and what not.
Please don't forget to include the name of the cart, artist, and any stats on your piece. Fabric type, count, color, type of floss (DMC or silk?), etc. People want to know these things. Also, try to post at least once a week, we usually ask for a post on Thursdays, but you may post whenever you can, I know life is busy!
