August and September Stitching Updates

Well it has been a long time since I last Updated but I do Have a lot to share! My plan is to get caught up in a few posts. I am going to recommit to my Crafting Blog as I really need it to help me stay on task.

Cross-Stitching:
I have been working heavily on 2 projects:
Brigid's Shamrock
This is a HAED pattern that uses DMC threads and I chose to put it on 18CT AIDA as it is 100% Coverage. The Pciture above was the starting point in July. I worked on this project on 2 summer stitch days sponsored by my LNS and got to this point:
Then I spent concentrated time on the project in August and some of September am at this point currently:
My plan is to get to 1/4 complete before I move to another Focus project for awhile. I have already consumed 5 Skiens of DMC (2 black, 1 each of white, 906 and 907). I also made the grime guard on my Qsnap as well :)

I also worked on Tapestry by Ink Circles.

This is using the called for threads on Autumn by Under the Sea Fabrics on 32ct lugana. this was a true joy to work on but decided to take a break to focus on Brigid's Above.

Finally, I completed the following that was my travel stitching:
I used the called for DMC and a piece of 28ct. evenweave from my stash. It's a Cute Pattern from Lizzie and Kate Called Live Well

The plan for October is to get to the 1/4 point on Brigid'd and move to a Halloween pattern of some sort.

Happy Stitching everyone!

March IHSW Results

I figured I would post my IHSW results. I know that I should have done this on Monday but it has been a busy week to say the least!

I started and completed "Whatever" by Lizzie and Kate.
Here is a close up of the stitching!

Here is it finished!
Sorry for the wrinkles but I wanted to take the pic as soon as I was done with it! Behind the finish you can see the highlighted chart of Sidney the Penguin which is the other project I worked on!
Starting point on Friday evening!

When I stopped on Sunday Evening

All that is left to complete on Sidney the Penguin us a little Grey by his wings, one foot, the teal accents in hat/scarf and minimal backstitching. He is too cute! I am not sure what to do with him once he is complete... I am thinking something along the lines of a journal cover but that could change.

My plan for this week/weekend is to complete Sidney and get some work on the "Lady and the Flag"

Happy Stitching!
