My 15th HAED Finish - QS Waiting is finished as of 12th December 2011 by Gizzimomo

Happy dance time..... happy dance time!!

Yes, you know it! QS Waiting by Ching Chou Kuik is finally FINISHED and she's my 15th Heaven and Earth Designs finish!

Partial pages 8 & 9 flew by after the quick finish on page 7......

Partial Pages 8 & 9 - Finished

So....... do you wanna see the finish???

Do you? 

Do you really??

Oh, okay then..... here you go.......

All finished as of 12h December 2011

The picture is looking a little washed out as the colours are more vibrant in person. The little cats look so cute and she is looking fabulous. The worry with pink is no longer an issue as it sorted itself out with more time and more detail. I'm so glad that I concentrated on her fully and got her finished so quickly, she was worth every moment and has truly been a complete joy to stitch!

Next up is going to be my mystery Mini HAED. I'll be stitching it on 22 count Dove Grey Hardanger, 1 thread over 1 square as usual and using my usual Sulky Metallic machine embroidery thread for the sparklies and I'm starting it tonight. It'll be my sole focus until after Christmas so I'm hoping to get a fair bit done between now and the New Year and I'm well excited!

Hope you love Waiting as much as I do and I will see you all very soon.

QS Waiting as of 2nd December 2011 (Page 6 Done) by Gizzimomo

Hi everyone,

First up is the update on Waiting now that Page 6 is finished.

Page 6 Done

Total Progress So Far

The pink worry is now over as it looks so much better now it's clear that it's just shadowing. she has her whole pretty face and I got to put a few green stitches in this page which was a bit weird but look fab! Page 6 was the last full page and the bottom row is all partial so they should speed through with any luck and allow me to start my new Mini design (I would have started already but I need the scroll frame that Waiting is on!). I'm still not telling you what it is and will let you all have a guess once it's started!

On a more down note I went to see my bowel consultant on Wednesday due to some issues that have occurred. I had hoped that they were due to the operation in May and that they'd settle down with time...... but they haven't and now I have to have a further surgery. Not what I wanted to hear but if this one goes well then I shouldn't need any more. So at some point early in 2012 I will be going off grid for a while to have that done and I am so not looking forward to it but the benefits will outweigh the pain and discomfort as this operation will solve three different issues so it should be worth it in the end. Fingers crossed!!

I hope to be back very soon........

HAED's QS Waiting as of 24th November 2011 (Page 5 Done) by Gizzimomo

Hi guys

Finally here's the update on QS Waiting now Page 5 is done!

Page 5 Done

Progress So Far

The pink still looks a bit off but it looks much better with more of the detail in. I went as far as to check the colour on my DMC Colour Card to make sure it was definitely the right colour as I was that worried about it but it definitely is correct so I have to be rave and trust the chart.... gonna be hard though!

I've been ill all week with another blooming cold but the upside of feeling icky is getting to spend the week on the sofa with a hot water bottle, blanket, Gizmo the cat and my stitching..... I've got shed loads of stitching done as you've probably noticed!

Be back with a new HAED finish on QS Terra very, VERY soon!

QS Waiting as of 8th November 2011 (Pages Two and Three Done) by Gizzimomo

Hi guys,

Looks like I've been forgetting to post my Waiting progress here which is odd because I remembered to post everywhere else but never mind!

So since the last post, when I was working on Page Two, I have finished two more pages..... full Page Two and partial Page Three, and incidentally almost halfway through partial Page Four too!

Page Two finish.......

Page 2 Done

Total Progress So Far After Page Two Finish

Here's the newly finished Page 3 of Waiting including the very tip of a little cat ear!

Page 3 Done

Total Progress So Far After Page Three Finish

I spent the weekend sorting out some future HAED projects. I'm not going to say too much at the moment but I've decided on a Tiny Treasure for a hand dyed piece of 22 count hardanger and I've also kitted up a new Face Of Faery and a Mini! Exciting stuff! I'm going to try to finish Waiting before starting something new as I want her to go into the reward program in the new year but you can never tell whats going to happen!

See you all soon with my partial Page Four finish!

Faerie Melody & QS Waiting as of 29th October 2011 by Gizzimomo

Hi guys

Here we go with TWO new HAED updates!

First up is the promised page finish on Faerie Melody. Page 10 has seen more of her wing appear, more of the magic melody and the tops of the flower bush in the background. No too exciting but looking great though! Can't wait to fins the butterfly at the bottom of this column!

Page 10 Done (Sorry the pic is a bit fuzzy)

Progress So Far

I finally had enough of the grubby streak on the fabric and have now given her a bit of a wash on the frame and she's currently drying over the bath. Looks much better now!

I've also done some more work on QS Waiting, not much but a little bit. Mainly some background but there's the start of an eye and you can see the starts of the flowers!

Page 2 Progress

I'll be back with another Waiting update very soon!

QS Waiting as of 28th September 2011 by Gizzimomo

Hi guys

Here's the Page One finish on QS Waiting by Ching Chou Kuik.

Page One Done

She's lovely to stitch and I've enjoyed every moment of stitching this page and can't wait to get back to her but I've got a Tiny Tatty Teddy Birth Sampler to stitch for a friend of my mum's (see my blog for pictures http://gizzimomosstitchyplace.blogspot.com) then it's back to Faerie Melody (providing no SAL pages come through in the meantime)!

See you all soon...... hopefully!

HAED's Faerie Melody as of 20.09.2011 (Page 8 Done) and A New Start by Gizzimomo

Hey everyone,

Page 8 of Faerie Melody is now done, meaning that the second downward column is all done. I think I'm around 25% done on her now.

Page 8 Done

Progress So Far

Last night I started a new HAED. It's QS Waiting by Ching Chou Kuik and I've had it kitted up for a while.

Here's a reminder of what she looks like.....

QS Waiting by Ching Chou Kuik

Page 1 Progress

I'm stitching her on 22 count Ivory hardanger, 1 thread over 1 square.

I'll do this page then go back to Faerie Melody for two pages and rotate between the two, stitching the SAL pages as and when they come in in-between I think.... should be fun!!!!

See you all soon

Thea
