Goblin Tree Page 15 Complete

I know it's been a while, but I wanted to post a page finish.  And here it is, page 15.
One more full page and 4 partials to go!
She's off he scroll rods now, taking a short break.  I'm working on Siberian Forrest (2012 QS Freebie) Page 2 of that came out Friday.  I love the detail in it and I'm going to try to get a page finish on that one too.  Just started working on it yesterday, and I've got about 500 stitches in.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter!
Thank you for looking.
Hugs,
Louanne

SK fragile & TT Pale Comparison

Hi all,  I finished SK Fragile ~ Mills on March 5th and have been concentrated on TT Pale Comparison since.  As of today
I have 2 partial large formatt pages left on it.  Both are stitched on 18ct with 2 x 1 DMC  ~ 1 x 1 Krenick.   I find myself hopeless in
doing a rotation, so I am going to see if I can finish a few more of my many starts once TT Pale Comparison is finished.
 
best wishes

Unicorn Dream - Week 116, Dreams of Gaudí - Week 110

I've managed to finish page 9 of the Unicorn according to plans! Now I only have 6 partial pages left, with a little luck I'm gonna finish it by this fall!



I'm going pretty fast with Gaudí too, this page is a lot less confetti-heavy as the previous one.

Endless Dream & TT Violet Sometimes

Hi there, thanks for letting me join this blog, it's really lovely to be able to share my progress with you.  Please forgive me if this post goes horribly wrong as I'm new to this!

I'm working on 2 HAED projects now thanks to the New Start SAL and I started my very first (but certainly not my last) full size picture.  I went with Endless Dream by Christophe Vacher, it's such a beautiful picture I just couldn't resist:

Inline images 1

The other is the very small project I started just after Christmas as my first taster to see how I got on with HAED projects.  I went with TT Violet Sometimes:

Inline images 2

I've loved working on this and have now started to amass a reasonable sized collection of charts.....I just need to learn to stitch faster!


Thanks for reading,

Angie (Miamina on BB)

Tuscan Serenade, Dennis Lewan Update

Almost 1/2 way done--This is stitched on 32 count, Ivory Lugana, 2 over 2.  I wish I had used a smaller count just so this picture would turn out better.  I wanted it bigger originally so it would have more of a tapestry effect. Really like the new starts :)

Lady Godiva and a New Start

At the end of the last SAL on the HAED BB, this is where Lady Godiva stood.


I joined the current New Start SAL with a RAK I received from Dagmar, Mini Sea of Roses. Here is what it will eventually look like!


I'll be back later with my cup of coffee to enjoy all of your updates. Wishing everyone a happy week of stitching!!

QS Siberian Forest March Update - Faerie

Here's my update for March! Not much progress but still really enjoying it....even the confetti!

25ct 1 over 1 Magic Guide Evenweave in white.

HAED Mary Praying - mint condition material and DMC threads for SALE

I just lost my job, my rent has gone up $100 each month and now have other "surprises" coming at me after my divorce.  My loss is your gain!  I paid $65 for the threads, material and shipping for the items needed for Mary Praying.  I am asking $50 or best offer, including shipping.  It's still in the original packaging from 123 Stitch.     
 I would only be able to ship to buyers in the US though. The threads are all DMC from what I see on the invoice.
 Please e-mail Becky, spinnerbeck@gmail.com if interested.
Thanks much!

Another page closer

Good morning all.
Here's my latest update on Dragon Rider by Randal Spangler. It's been a bit of a boring page with nothing much happening in it, but at least it was an easy page to stitch, and the next page should have motorbike on it, (I think) which is quite exciting.
Loving everyone else's progress!

My Progress Passes Inspection



I have some progress to show...although it doesn't look like much, I've actually doubled how much I had stitched before. Miss Pollyrose (my dance partner when DWTS is on) got curious and had to see what was propped up on her window seat (for the best natural light) when I was taking the progress pic. I LOVE this pic!

Escher, the fish

Finally the fish. As good as on the bottom. where many fish simply hang out. Because of here in the Netherlands two weeks , nice weather, I have less time in stitching. But that's okay. Gardening is fun. The blossom of the plum tree in full bloom. Many of bikerides with my new bike. It is also the only thing I can move on. Walking is still a disaster. Tendon inflammation that would not go away. next week I get orthotics. I hope that brings some relief

Roll Call

Tomorrow starts the year's first New Start SAL, along with the Retired Artists SAL.  So, who here is making a new start?  If you're joining in the SAL with a new start post a link here to your chart (on the HAED site).  We want to see!

I am continuing work on the retired LR chart Goblin Tree.  I'm trying to finish it this year.  So I'll be drooling over your new starts!

Also, just wanted to let you know that I am still working on the Member/Buddy lists.  We have 5 more full member openings available.  I am going through the requests in the order in which they were received.  I email the requestors (in order) and have to wait to hear back from them (or not!) on whether they are still interested in becoming members.  So it's an involved (long) process.

Avarice Page 5 complete

POSTED BY NICOLA BERRY




I have been working on Dahlig's Avarice. I am stitching one over one full crosses on 25ct Lugana. Page 5 is finally complete :)

2 pics, a close up of the page I finished and an overview. I am keeping this in rotation for the time being as I seem to be pretty much stuck into it and making progress.

Lady Godiva

For Christmas I received a RAK from Liz, over on the HAED BB. It is Mini Gypsy Firefly, straight from the top of my wishlist! I started on Christmas Day, but after a couple hundred stitches I decided I didn't like the way it looked. Restarted in tent, but didn't like it either. Retarted on a totally different fabric and count and thought I could live with the results. Nope. So now I've put her away to cool off until I get a new piece of fabric. I really hope a fresh start will keep my love of her alive!

Meanwhile, Lady Godiva insisted on some attention! Here she is where I started back last week.


I am a slow stitcher, but hopefully I'll find my way back here much sooner with an update on her!

Happy stitching to you all!

White Tiger, David Penfound

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Still nothing. Worked for several hours on Sat/Sun, only to realize on Sunday that I'd hopelessly miscounted and didn't know where it began. Fortunately, I really hadn't done that much, but still, to go back to the beginning . . . . Hours of pulling & cutting stitches out, so still nothing picture-worthy. Hopefully I will have better luck next weekend. I'd reallyreally like to get this project going.

Goblin Tree Update

I wanted to have a page finish before I posted, but it's taking a while.  So here's the latest update on GT.  I have touched the bottom of page 15, even if it's only one stitch way down there at the bottom....
I'm continuing work on it this week.
Happy stitching to you all!

Cheryl's update: The Lights of Home 2 (Schim Schimmel)

It has been a long while between posts because I had a disaster happen. I lost my glasses I use to do craft! I spent a few days looking for them, then I ordered another pair via zennioptical.com I went crazy while I was waiting and managed to do some of the black on the right hand side. The glasses arrived today so I will be able to do my beloved cross stitch again!

There is a close up picture on my blog http://haedxstitch.blogspot.com

Cheers

The Unicorn is progressing nicely, the only thing missing from this page is a small part of the background.



And I've finished page 12 of Gaudí right on schedule! I didn't even count on seeing the first mosaic parts appear on the wall under the corner of the roof! :)

New Project

Just an update--I've been meaning to start "White Tiger" by David Penfound. I have yet to figure out how to get pictures up, but since all I have are the materials and the fabric, and no stitches, there isn't much to see.

Kinda busy with school right now (end of final semester of the final year, with the Bar Exam in July), but I'll try do do at least a little and keep everyone posted weekly.

It's a gorgeous design--I'm doing it on a very pale blue-gray 22 count jobelan-esque fabric (don't remember the name). Should look lovely!! (I hope).

Hey everyone,

Just finished page 6 of College of Magical Knowledge.

This is stitched on 25 count antique white evenweave, 1 over 1 with
full crosses, and it's now about 30% done!

Thanks for looking and happy stitching.

New Start


It's been so long since I've posted that I hang my head in shame. But I've made a new start on a new project and there's a little progress to show you. Not much...a little more than 500 stitches. But here it is! Touching the Hem of God by James C. Christensen. I love all the lavenders--which is a good thing because most of the design is lavender background. I'm working one over one, full cross, on 25 count lugana. I'm surprised at how easy it is! The thought of working on such a high count was so daunting that I only worked on 18 count before.

It's good to be back. The stitching you've all posted is beautiful! Thanks to Louanne for updating our membership, which is what motivated me to get back to stitching. I can't tell you how glad I am to get my stitching mojo back!

Dragon Knot 2 Progress

12 pages completed. 4 more to go!!

Long time no blog

I know I know. It's been a while since I posted. I finally picked The Astronomer back up. Here is where I was on Wednesday when I started again.


 And this is where I ended last night. I got most of the top of the cage in. I have about a column and a half to do on this page and then on to page 7. I hope to be on page 7 by next weekend.

Lots and lots of black on the next page. Good thing I picked up several skeins.
