A Finish!

Hey Everyone!

I have a finish!  It’s not my usual type of project, it’s a jigsaw puzzle.

I had hubby help me finish it last night.   While he does like puzzles, he typically avoids anything more than 300 pieces.  This one was 1500 pieces!  I glued it together today and am just waiting for it to be totally dry before I hang it in my craft room.  It’s going to be so nice to have my craft table usable for other projects as this took up the whole table plus my desk.

I have also been working on The Sistine Chapel from HAED a bit though I won’t take a photo until I finish the page I’m on.

Happy Stitching!

Rapunzel page finish

 Hey Everyone!

I finished a page on Rapunzel last night!

It was cool to see the moth emerge on her sleeve.

My randomizer chose The Sistine Chapel for my next project to work on.  I haven’t touched this one in a while.  I did have to roll my scroll frame for it which always makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something.

Happy Stitching!

God Speed progress

 Hey Everyone!

I finished page 16 on God Speed from HAED.  Because it’s been awhile plus I had to roll it on the scroll frame, here’s a photo of where I was when I started this time:

…and here is the page I just finished:

I’m really happy with my progress but also glad I’m taking a break from it for a while.  I’m doing it 2x1 full crosses on 25ct and it’s rather hard on my fingers.  I’ve been wearing a bandaid on my right hand middle finger because that’s what I use to push the needle up from the back and the poor thing is really tender!

I think I’m going to start a new, very small, project next:  Shamrock Heart from The Sweetheart Tree.

Happy Stitching!

Diamond Painting finish

 Hey Everyone!

Last Saturday, hubby took me to Hobby Lobby!  Yes, I could go by myself, but we were already out and about together.  I got myself 5 diamond painting kits.  I never thought I’d enjoy them after I ended up throwing away the first one I ever bought off Amazon (now, I would’ve finished it).  Thursday, I took a break from my current cross stitch ‘cause I get annoyed with doing 2x1 on 25ct. and I worked on one of the d.p. kits.  I finished it on Thursday and sealed it last night.

Isn’t it cute?!  Hubby picked this one out so I did it first. I have 3 more that are Autumn themed and 1 Christmas.

Happy Stitching, Crafting, etc.!

A Finish

 Hey Everyone!

I totally forgot to post about a small band sampler I finished back on June 8th.  This one is How Do I Love Thee from The Sweetheart Tree.

I have a bunch of their small patterns and this one was the one my randomizer app picked for me to do.  It only took a few days (maybe 3?) to do.  I framed it in a standard 5” x 7” picture frame.

I just got beads and a specialty thread yesterday so that I can start another one of their patterns, Shamrock Heart.

Happy Stitching!

Rapunzel progress

 Hey Everyone!

Since I finished the SAL, I get to go back to my “normal” projects.  I’ve decided to make Rapunzel (Dawe) my featured project since it’s the one furthest along.  I did finish a page on it a couple of days ago.

She’s got a bit of yellowing in the white areas, but I’m fairly confident that it will wash out when I finish her.

I’m using my randomizer app to choose the in-between projects and it landed on God Speed.  This is the only HAED that I’m doing using 2 strands of floss (on 25ct)—I can say it will also be the last.  I find that I prefer 28ct and higher with 1 strand.

Happy Stitching!

And we have a finish!

 Hey Everyone!

I finished Glistening Wings this afternoon!  To recap, it’s stitched 1x1 half stitches on 40ct linen.

I’m thrilled with the finished project, and thrilled that it’s finished! 

I’ve already put a few stitches into my next WIP, Rapunzel by Dawe, also a HAED pattern.

Tomorrow, I do have to do some real work (it pays the bills!), but I’ll also be adding to Rapunzel or the jigsaw puzzle I started.

Happy Stitching!
