Tesori

I think now that I’m so close to finishing, I’m actually stitching faster:

After finishing part 19 (Basilicata) I managed to stitch most of part 20 (Valle d’Aosta):

I don’t think I will wait for the next SAT though, I want that happy dance now!

Quite a disappointing result…

… but progress nevertheless.

<My goals (even I forgot to post them) were:

1. Stitch remaining few motifs on a model and finish it.
2. Stitch rest of Loy’s page four.

Well… I managed to stitch the model, but decided to concentrate on finishing it in Sunday. That kind of failed as I was busy with other things whole Sunday – and I can’t finish it because I don’t have suitable ribbon… before tomorrow.
That also means that I didn’t made that many stitches on Loy… though I started a new complimentary design for Periphaeria Designs in Saturday, but as it’s not done yet no pictures of it either.
…so, Loy it is. Those few stitches I managed… Before and after.

 

Disappointing progress, but still closer to the ultimate finish.

Photo linking problems?

If you have problems to make a working linking image remember that you need to use the thumbnail’s DIRECT url to make it work. You can get it by going over the thumbnail, right clicking on top of it and choosing Copy image location (or similar, the command is that in Firefox) and use that url.

Almost…

… got done what I had planned. Well, the biscornue is ready and on it’s way to Australia, the card is ready and on it’s way here in Finland and the Christmas ornament is still on paper…. I did get some hardanger done though

And since I’m still so out of adding pictures to my post I’ll have to ask you to take a trip to my blog where you can see my doings in pictures

Waiting for the next SAT!

Woohoo!

Fifteen years after first seeing this design and five years after first starting it, it’s finally finished!

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see this complete. I put in about 20 hours on it this weekend – finishing around lunchtime yesterday. So that left me time to do some more work on Colourful Cat by Durene Jones from Cross Stitch Gold issue 23. This has been my weekend project since about June. I’m stitching it on 28ct Silver Lurex Jobelan 1 over 1 and there are 23,400 stitches. This was the before pic:

I stitched until midnight last night and this is how much more I got done:

I’m really pleased with how this is coming along. There are a lot of blocks of single colour but it’s a really relaxing stitch. I will continue to work on this at weekends and may pick a different project for next month’s SAT. I’m really looking forward to it already!

Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement. I don’t know how long it would have taken me to finish Little Friends if I hadn’t had SAT to spur me on!

Cathy’s October Progress

I’m really pleased with the amount of stitching I finished this weekend. Edit: I can’t post a picture here because this is a gift for my father, who often looks at my photo host. You can find pictures of this weekend’s progress on my blog at It will Be Funny Tomorrow

Not Quite

… a happy dance, but significant progress nonetheless!

Forest Goddess Progress

I still am having a problem posting pics. But I have put my progress pic in my blog

www.vkchev.blogspot.com

 I got a bit done. I knew I wouldn’t get it finished but I am happy with my progress. I did a bit of beading on it also.

My October Goals Achieved:)

Yeah! I am quite proud to say I did meet my October goal and Outi’s Winter Dragon is completed. This RR will now go back to Jenna to be completed, just a little out of order. Here he is all done:)

Rawr!

Sorry for the lack of progress pics… but I have a finish to make up for it. All done!

This finish took a deceptively long amount of time (15 hours this weekend), lots of colour changes. But I love it. A Jayne Neatly Mayhew design from Cross Stitch Safari.

I’m so happy…

It’s half term so the washing can wait.  I did my grocery shopping this morning.  My son is old enough to feed himself at least some of the weekend.  And that means that I’ve got a whole beautiful weekend of almost non-stop stitching ahead of me!  Woohoo!

I’ll be working on Little Friends again.  I haven’t posted a photo as I haven’t touched it since last SAT weekend but I’m really hoping to finish the design this weekend.  I’m sure I will but in case I don’t, I’ll carry on until it’s done then post a pic.

If I do get it finished before Sunday night, I’ve got another fab project lined up.

I hope everyone has a good stitchy weekend and you all reach your goals.  Thanks Lady P for setting this up and to everyone for all the encouragement and kind comments.  This is just the best idea and it’s great to have something specific to focus on.

October goal

I’m going to work on Tesori d’Italia again and I will continue where I stopped last month:

I don’t think I will have as much stitching time as I had last SAT, because I’m going to a craft show tomorrow (Woohoo!), but I should be able to finish part 19 and maybe even start with part 20.

Happy SAT stitching everyone!

Finally Decided

I could not decide what I wanted to work on this weekend for a long time. This morning, I finally settled on working on my dad’s Christmas stocking. I don’t want to post a picture of the completed project here, but if you want to go to my blog (itwillbefunny.blogspot.com) you’ll find a picture of it there. This is my progress so far.

Let’s get stitching!

Ocotber

Gonna work on my Princess Wandabee again, as much as I can, because I have a very busy weekend

Here’s where I’m now

Mia’s goals

Hi everyone,

since I’ve got the whole weekend free I’ve decided to take on a few small projects. First I want to finish off a biscornue I’ve got stitched – just need to sew it together, then I’ll be stitching a birthdaycard – a celtic or art deco themed, haven’t found a chart yet, but I’ll be looking for it today and I also hope to get a Christmas ornament stitched.

I still don’t get it how to add photo’s… here is the link to my blog where you can see part of the biscornue http://miamaria.vuodatus.net/blog/868988

My weekend goal

I missed last months stitch a thon. This month I am going to be stitching on Mirabilia’s Forest Goddess. I won’t get her finished but I plan to make a big dent in her.
I am having trouble posting a pic but I will post pics as I go in my blog

Leslie’s October Goals

Yeah, it is stitch-a-thon time again. My goal for this month is to finish the snowflake backstitching on Winter Dragon for Outi’s RR. I really wish i had finished this last month, but hopefully it will get done this time around. Here is about where I will be starting from (I have done a bit more since this picture).

BTW, Cooper the Cat wants to say hi and help this month:)

Almost There

I will be working on “Above the Clouds” by TW this weekend. I am very close to a happy dance, so I will work with that in mind. I am not sure I will make it, but I am going to give it a go!

Warm Water Wash

Since I am almost finished with the Michael Powell Mini Christmas Window that I started the last Stitch-A-Thon, I am going to start another project. This one is Warm Water Wash from Raise the Roof. It has lots of lovely variegated threads from GAST. I am not letting summer go.

This weekend’s challenge

For the stitchathon this weekend I’m going to try to finish a current Jayne Neatly Mayhew WIP – Lioness Gaze.

Here’s what I’ve done so far. As you can see, I’ve got a bit to go yet! Hopefully I can manage a happy dance.
