I told you i'd be back...

remmeber that one project i was stithcing last time that was nearly finished? Well its still not done so i'm now classing it as a UFO. The project in question is Halloween Short Stack by Waxing Moon Designs.

this is how far i had gotten in December, i think it became a UFO because I was stitching christmas designs and now I'm stitching a lot of exchanges pieces and one very large design for myself, this just got sidelined. I plan to stitch on this ever Sunday on what I have nicknamed 'UFO Night'. Yesterday was my first UFO Night and this is how far I got:

Hoping to have this finished by mid April

Hi to you all, I've just joined the blog. My name is Nina and I live in Finland. I love to rotate different kind of WIPs, but I have one which has been sadly neglected. And here how she's going to look like (eventually):

Shinysun's Cross Stitching: I See the Light

And here's my progress so far:


The main reason, why I haven't stitched her since last October is the fabric. It is 18ct black aida, and stitching black and dark navy blue on black isn't funny. But because it is almost spring here, the daylight has increase and I can make some good progress on her (with your support, of course :).

I've started her back on May 2010. Now there're over 3000 stitches (from the pages 1 and 2) which is almost 10% of all. My goal for this year is to finish the first page and 2/3 of the second page.

Dragons Page Update

I have another page done!!! Very excited about this.
And that I'm almost a month ahead of my schedule for this year on this project, maybe I'll get more than four pages done!
Here she be so far:

Celeste Update - February

Just a quick update, I have one of the four corners mostly done.  There is some couching and a little backstitching and the beads, that's what goes in the holes in the blue, gold beads.  You can see the gold that I didn't rip out yet in the coil by the tail.  It seems just a little too bright to me.  I'm not much into gold anyway.  Maybe that's part of the problem.  Next month I'm on the road for two weeks and am taking two smaller projects so this will be put aside for a little while.

Jane Longstreth

It's been awhile (over a year?) since I posted anything here. I finally got back to working on Jane Longstreth and you can see my progress here. The plan is to work on Jane for 15 days of every month until she is finished.

Celeste Update!

I finished the dragon!  Well almost, I still have to stitch the scales but the rest of the backstitching is done.  Next I'll start on the border pattern.  I tried doing some of the scales but apparently back when I bought the materials I grabbed the wrong gold blending filament and I don't like the one I have so I need to frog that and try it with the right color.  But still I can't be happier with the progress I've made.  Happy New Year!

Dragons Update - Two Rows Complete

Two of Five rows complete.
It took me all year to get this second row done. But hey you can almost see some actual dragons in there now!
Here's the latest:
