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!

One left to go!

 Hey Everyone!

I finished page 14 on Glistening Wings a few minutes ago.

That just leaves the smallest page left to do!  I’ve already started on page 15. Theoretically, I will finish the entire project this coming week!

Happy Stitching

Another one bites the dust!

 Hey Everyone!

Sorry, not sorry if I gave you an ear worm with this post’s title.  😉

I just finished page 13!

I really love the colors on this dragonfly’s wings!

Tomorrow, I’ll start on page 14.  For now, I’m done stitching for the night.  I might have some work to do for my job early tomorrow, but the afternoon and evening are my stitching time.

Happy Stitching!
