February - New Start

Hello!

Here's a new start I did on February 1st, 'February' by the Prairie Schooler.  I stitched January last year - I'll check to see if I ever posted that - so I got this one out for my #stitch9challenge.  It's been kitted and waiting forever!

Here's my start:

And I got a bit more done on it, too:

I don't know when it'll come back up in rotation, but I'm looking forward to it!

It's on 32ct lambswool evenweave - I can't remember if it's jobelan or lugana.

Back soon!

Archangel - Progress

This is Archangel by Mirabilia - he is one of my #stitch9challenge pieces.

Here's where he was the last time I posted about him:

and I've only worked on him once, but I finished his other wing and did some of his over-one skin, and I think some little bits in other places but I can't remember.

He's on 32ct Thunderstorm Belfast linen by Silkweaver (old).  I still love him and maybe I'll get a lot done on him.  A finish would be awesome but 'My Day Off' comes first!


Thanks for visiting!

Flower of the East - Almost Done!

You know what they say about good intentions, right?  Well, I had the BEST of intentions of posting at least weekly on this blog but it just didn't work out for me.

Because I forgot. 

Yes, I am terrible XD

Anyway, I'm going to try and do better!  I've set a reminder on my phone and everything.  We'll see how long it lasts.

This is my lovely Flower of the East by Dimensions.  I have the leaflet; if you buy her as a kit, she is Gold Collection.  She is one of my #stitch9challenge pieces and here is where she was the last time I worked on her.

I spent most of March on her - I tried Mostly Monogamous March and did pretty good.  All the cross stitch is done. I have to finish the backstitch and do the fancy bits - Cording, Couching, regular French Knots, French Knots with three strands of metallic, lazy daisies, and so on.  She's on break for April, though, because I burnt myself out on her tricksy backstitching.  Here's a lot of progress pictures.

I'll come back in a few days to show you another project!  I've yet to finish anything this year but there's a few starts you haven't seen.  Also, some finishes from last year that I don't think I showed.  I'll have to check!
