Anyway, I started carrying little projects with me again and the first day I put the little baggy with my Sprite stuff in my purse, I finished a Sprite!
This one is Zell from Final Fantasy VIII - he looks like this (and like most FF characters, wears a really odd outfit):
And here is his Sprite:
I also put two more black outlines on my Sprite fabric; the Joker (Batman) and Keiko from Yu Yu Hakusho. She's the one in the corner who currently has no eyes :D That fills up this bit of material, so I'll be filling in the outlines now until they're all done. They are not a set - they'll eventually be cut apart.
So carrying the little projects in my bag continues to work and I don't know why I stopped for a while. I have a Stocking ornament almost done, too!
IHSW is this weekend, and I had part of today off, so Nostlagy is well-underway for her first turn in a loooong time!
Here's another HAED from my most recently paid-off layaway:
Cascade by Johnathon Earl Bowser - she used to be a retired pattern; when I saw her for sale again I grabbed her! I've seen her stitched up and she's gorgeous! Luckily there was a 45% off sale at the time and I was planning a layaway, sooo..... And there is, by the way, a 50% off sale right now! Just in case anyone feels the need to bulk up their stash :D
Love that chart. I have taken one hit from the latest sale:)
ReplyDeleteAh, I have a piece of fabric like that right now, too! >< Your sprites all look so cool, though, and I love how bright Zell looks! Sometimes, I end up with blonde hair looking a bit dirty, which is a pain, but not an unavoidable one. Also, that HAED is fancy! How long does it take to stitch one of them? They look really daunting!
ReplyDeletePS: I couldn't get my comment to work when you actually posted this, as I seem to be poisonous to computers, but your Gundam Wing project looks beautiful! I can't believe how amazingly shiny his hair is- it's like an anime shampoo advertisement! It's perfect for that fabric, too.
Yesterday I was trying to stitch in my poorly lit livingroom (even during the day) and discovered that I just cannot stitch with black floss on black Aida unless I have a spotlight shining on it!!! Unfortunately I'm at a point in the project where I have to start using the black floss before I can move on with the design.
ReplyDeleteI love all your little sprites Tama. Another great HAED. Your suppose to be buying cut thrus. lol
