She's for my mum - I've been promising her these four seasonal girls for years. I finished Voice of Spring last year and I don't know if I posted so here she is, just in case!<br />

I'm stitching them all on 14ct white aida since that's what I did the first one on when I started her eons ago!<br />
<br />
Later, dears!<br />

This is my March 1st start!<br />
<br />
'The Counting House' by Little House Needleworks. I've had this in my stash for a while, and last year I got the specialty flosses for it so it went pretty high up my 'Want to Start' list.<br />
<br />
It got one day, but at least it's started! <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It'll get some more focused stitching, probably in June. I think it will be a simple finish. <br />
<br />
I hope!<br />
<br />
It's on the called for 32ct linen, Smokey Pearl. I got the linen and the pattern off of someone's stash unload blog, <em>years</em> ago. I just needed to get the DMC and four overdyed flosses and now I have them :D<br />

<br />
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!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's my start:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And I got a bit more done on it, too:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I don't know when it'll come back up in rotation, but I'm looking forward to it!<br />
<br />
It's on 32ct lambswool evenweave - I can't remember if it's jobelan or lugana.<br />
<br />
Back soon!<br />

<br />
Here's where he was the last time I posted about him:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
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 <em>awesome</em> but 'My Day Off' comes first!<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting!<br />

<br />
There will be a lot of posts over the next weeks as I try to catch up on everything I haven't shared. I'm going to try posting every other day or something like that so I don't drown the blog, lol!<br />
<br />
I am doing A Motif A Month (this used to be a challenge somewhere but I don't remember where) on my Mary Wigham sampler, which hasn't seen the light of day in quite a while!<br />
<br />
Here's where it was:<br />

<br />
And here's my progress!<br />
<br />
January - I redid the basket and put the initials to the right in. Also started the next one because I was having fun:<br />

March - I did the coral flower/basket and several sets of initials. I do have to change the JS to JP but I'll get around to it:<br />

Well, I had the BEST of intentions of posting at least weekly on this blog but it just didn't work out for me.<br />
<br />
Because I forgot. <br />
<br />
Yes, I am terrible XD<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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.<br />

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!<br />

And I apologize.<br />
But here's a post 😀<br />
<br />
So I started off the year as usual. New Year's Day start:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTnzERY76Z_xxrsCjEbm9cq4MnyPkn0gJ7JixXngb_mnyLOd0nbleJSfKFJ4qQOcz2RFyTAD42ko9tMwAZYdmqWCXhY1Jn0rtJE420-QgjYJhrvMniV1oyxol2QFerETZ2pY8_nJNXLNW/s1600/1231181956.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTnzERY76Z_xxrsCjEbm9cq4MnyPkn0gJ7JixXngb_mnyLOd0nbleJSfKFJ4qQOcz2RFyTAD42ko9tMwAZYdmqWCXhY1Jn0rtJE420-QgjYJhrvMniV1oyxol2QFerETZ2pY8_nJNXLNW/s640/1231181956.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then I joined every SAL ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then I un-joined. I'm going to try being sensible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
ONE SAL. Just one. And a nine project limit SAL, at that. Instead of being crazy. Even though I still plan to work on whatever calls to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not doing this no new starts in 2019 thing At All. No worries there. I am still doing 'finish two to start one' and currently, I could start 6 projects. I'm halfway to being able to start seven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm also sleepy and rambling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The SAL I stuck with is an Instagram one, #stitch9challenge. (I'm @tamastitches on Instagram if you want more frequent updates).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's the first project and my starting point. Its turn is over tonight so I'll hopefully remember to post here tomorrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hi guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So for May I thought I'd try just one project - ONE - because I need to do a fairly intricate baby layette, too. So I'm working on 'My Day Off' and getting nowhere fast. I'll show you guys my progress at the end of the month. Meanwhile, I don't think you've seen these two finishes!</div>

'Portrait of Christ' and the Bent Creek Snappers both got done and framed while I wasn't posting. The Snappers aren't actually fastened in the frame yet - they were a present for my Mum and while I was waiting for some framing supplies to come in, she absconded with it and I haven't gotten around to stealing it back to frame properly 😁😁😁</div>

<br />
Also, first post from a phone so I hope it looks o.k.<br />
<br />
Back soon!<br />

I also have a tiny bit of snow to do and Frosty Forest #2, Raccoon Cottage, will be done but... I LOST it. How do you lose a project that big?! Actually, I think I may have properly put it away and that's why I can't find it now. Sheesh. I'll find it and finish it up - really, like one needle-full of floss! and it'll be done! and then I'll post it.</div>

Some others got a few stitches done, but that's really about it. Not a hugely productive time but I finished two so I'm satisfied.</div>

Also, I did have a birthday in March and that meant a free birthday start (I'm sticking with 'finish two to start one' and have three 'earned' starts that I haven't used yet). I got this Riolis kit earlier this year:</div>

Riolis kits usually have a wool/acrylic super-fine yarn instead of floss. I've always hesitated about getting one because I'm allergic to wool, but I, hmm, possibly may have gotten some white cotton glove liners, which are like super, super thin, flimsy gloves, and stitch with those on. Probably, I look like a twit, but I can stitch the pretty Riolis things, so I don't care.</div>

Like I <em>needed</em> more kits, right? But I did not care at all. I took a jar of change I had been saving and swapped it for a $50 bill, and told myself I would not go over that. Spent $50.09, so I lied. Ha!<br />
<br />
Back on the 18th with my progress for YOW!<br />

<br />
So for the first month of YoW, I worked at least one needle-full of floss on every project. I was going to do that every month, but I've decided not to - it was super fun, but I don't think I can consistently work on that many projects in a month without blowing a brain-fuse XD<br />
<br />
So, next round - it won't be all in one month, unfortunately - I'm going to get a 'goal' done on each project, using a rotation. My two focus pieces, which are currently 'January' and 'My Day Off', will be in the rotation more often, but I'm going to go through each project.<br />
<br />
Hey, let's play a game! (not the horror kind, lol!) See if you can spot the few stitches I did on some of these! I'll put where they are and what my goal is for each project under the update picture.<br />
<br />
1. January<br />

This one's pretty obvious as to what I've added, and my first goal is to finish that house and the trees around it. I'd actually like to completely finish this in February or the first week of March.<br />

Fair bit of progress on this one; my next goal is to finish the little scattered bits on the window shutter and do the teapot full of flowers. My ultimate goal, by March 18th, is to have her 1/4 done.<br />

All I did was finish up the strand of yellow. I don't know if this one will get any love next time, it's only supposed to be a purse kit and will get all kinds of love when it gets put in my purse :D This is the only one that doesn't have a needle-minder right now - I have one with it, but not on it. So silly.<br />

Ick, flash burn! I did two needle-fulls of white floss. All the white on her bodice and some on the left-side wing. Next goal, hmmm - maybe finish up her sleeve and get the wings to equal status?<br />

This one is hard to see - I finished off the white floss that was on the needle, then did a strand of over-one skin. I'm going to give this one a big goal - finish up the scroll and half of his chest and stomach.<br />

Finished up some blue that was in the needle, then did another needle-full of lighter blue. It's still in the frame because I want to keep going - my goal is to finish up all the background in this area, back stitch the horse's bridle, and then work a few more columns of background. I'm re-designing the bridle to look like a real one, as the chart's was pretty much nonsense.<br />

I did a whole needle-full of one color, lol! My goal will be to finish up the columns I'm working in now. Also, this one is really, really dirty and needs a bath. I couldn't believe how dirty it was and that teaches me to take a HAED to work with me!<br />

I'm working away at Block 2, Raccoon Cottage. Each block has variegated thread, and I thought it was the main house, but it's the roof, the inside of the windows, and the blank bits of the door that are variegated. That's why those aren't done yet. The house is actually done in little blocks of two different colors. This is so pretty and the white shows up so much better in real life! My goal is to finish the block I'm on, and hopefully by the end of February. There's a lot more stitching in the house blocks than the other blocks.<br />

Finished, of course :D :D :D<br />
<br />
So I am hoping to get all of these goals done by the end of March <i>maybe.</i> But at least most of the goals! I will be back with an update on March 18th, but I'll post some more of my finishes and maybe stash? that you guys haven't seen yet!<br />
<br />
Have a lovely day!<br />

I enjoyed every minute of this - I don't know why, when it languished for so long! This was a Crazy January start (I think) <i>ages</i> ago. I especially liked backstitching this - the lattice background in particular. I have no idea why.<br />
<br />
Still needs to be ironed, and maybe I'll try my first no-sew cube with it. I'm not sure.<br />
<br />
I've got some progress done on others, but these two in particular:<br />

<br />
I am not dead! Neither is my stitchy-bug! I just lost interest in updating my blog for some reason.<br />
<br />
So I will do a post of things I've finished since my last post, things I've started, and maybe a few things I've bought?<br />
<br />
But for now, I am going to post my Year of WIPs pieces! Year of WIPs is hosted on Soulful Stitching on Facebook - you have to join the group and sign up for it before the 18th of January. No new starts, WIPs only, and a minimum of 10. The goal is to finish at least half of them by the end of the year. Most people are doing 18 or more.<br />
<br />
Mine is 23!<br />
<br />
So here goes:<br />
<br />
1. 'Voice of Spring' by Gloria and Pat, on 14ct white<br />

So this turn I finished up the top coffee cup! Whoo hoo! It's very bright and pretty - the main yellow, pink and green flosses are almost neon bright. Love it! It does still need the backstitching, though.</div>
<br />
<br />

<br />
Next is a free turn - I'm starting something new! But it's tiny, so I think it will be done within a day or two. I'll show it to you next post - if I do get it done that fast, I'll work on 'Sunset Birds' for the other days of my turn. Then it's back to the Alphabet list :D<br />
<br />
This has been so fun so far! <br />
<br />
Happy Stitching, darlings!<br />

<br />
I got a lot more done this turn than I did the last one. This is now halfway done :D<br />
<br />
Next is a free turn - I get to stitch whatever I want and what I want is 'Sunset Birds'. Another little boat!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next time you see it, this little boat will be done! I am determined :D<br />
<br />
I didn't get any more of my China kits out to take more pictures - I will get to the rest of them soon. I have several small ones on their way to me - the ones that cost $3-$5 and are so cute! Maybe those will be the next ones I show.<br />
<br />
I am also working on updating the old page I had showing every single one of my WIPs and UFOs. It's kind of nice to be deleting several that are finished now. But tough getting them all in alphabetical order with updated WIP pics XD<br />
<br />
Back in a few days - Happy Stitching!<br />

I forgot to post my last start in Stitch Maynia. Or the progress on it, I mean :D<br />
<br />
This is Regal Tiger, a Dimensions Gold Collection:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And here's where I got. I really don't like doing that dark color! Six strands - talk about sore fingers!!! But I got almost all of that area done - I took turns with it and the other colors.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuPZKJI0hWG00IT4T06KmttfPUZo0xxEFdzmu0iJsIl92QAJpX7yiymTlJD8T-M4-F_gqPpYs0GVuIs1EUc8G4EKuTryXocjXQJJPhkAd-RkXkGcsoOGoAAafRgsSpvDmFPMMFjtz8AomU/s1600/rTiger1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuPZKJI0hWG00IT4T06KmttfPUZo0xxEFdzmu0iJsIl92QAJpX7yiymTlJD8T-M4-F_gqPpYs0GVuIs1EUc8G4EKuTryXocjXQJJPhkAd-RkXkGcsoOGoAAafRgsSpvDmFPMMFjtz8AomU/s400/rTiger1.jpg" width="338" /></a></div>
<br />
So <i>that</i> ends Stitch Maynia!<br />
<br />
Now, after Stitch Maynia I got to thinking about all the new starts and all my old starts and I sat down and looked at all my pictures from lately and years ago, too. I counted them all up and nearly fell over. I am not about to admit the total, but it was <i>high</i>. Much higher than I thought. Not anywhere near Ms Linda or those other brave people doing the Year of Starts, but still!<br />
<br />
Some of them, too, have not been worked on in years. By which I mean, ten years or maybe even longer. One of them I started in High School and it hasn't been touched since. Holy cow... And I'll admit that recently I've been saying 'wow, I should get that back out' a lot.<br />
<br />
So - rotation rearrange - I'm getting them back out. The lot of 'em. I put them all in alphabetical order and I'm keeping the five days for each project, but I'm going to do it like this - 1st turn, whatever I want. 2nd turn, next on the alphabet list. 3rd turn, whatever I want. 4th turn, whatever's next on the list. And so on, ad infinitum.<br />
<br />
First turn this time was 'Unspoken', my HAED - I really wanted to get back to this. I've given up - for now - on the 'rows instead of columns' idea - it just wasn't working for me. I thought I'd try what a lot of people are doing for the HAED facebook challenge and finish off my page 2 one color at a time. So I did a whack of 762. Not all of it, but about three columns worth and a teeny bit of other colors (from before I made the decision).<br />
<br />
Here's as it was:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCgzMC9PjU5zPjezSpLtb9gMByG4s0TZVsFUFlFkuVPq4NrOabAfMyG-83f9CI1FKZqhRi7ppEoQjhUxsR4AWYLn8ruCBfd0jAk_9NaS1K5hJCUfaF0bAJvufFGuEhfTOFeQbuNmcotFn/s1600/razFEB16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCgzMC9PjU5zPjezSpLtb9gMByG4s0TZVsFUFlFkuVPq4NrOabAfMyG-83f9CI1FKZqhRi7ppEoQjhUxsR4AWYLn8ruCBfd0jAk_9NaS1K5hJCUfaF0bAJvufFGuEhfTOFeQbuNmcotFn/s640/razFEB16.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And as it now is:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gxhiTiSGrpMkzdufYJwZdkR2jWryKtTtSoZ_R72aWZNT9zPNocN7XmFjdVsAHb0N3du6WuqmvslsvhzEaWP7Se7W0Su3RVlZ2RaqEz03toWfoXpiIhVppDEU1v-FHwdIua8X6qEsxIJA/s1600/razJ16-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_gxhiTiSGrpMkzdufYJwZdkR2jWryKtTtSoZ_R72aWZNT9zPNocN7XmFjdVsAHb0N3du6WuqmvslsvhzEaWP7Se7W0Su3RVlZ2RaqEz03toWfoXpiIhVppDEU1v-FHwdIua8X6qEsxIJA/s640/razJ16-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Next turn (which I'm working on now) is A is for Anchor. The first of my alphabetized list! Here's where I left it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm hoping to make a big ol' lot of progress :D It's already going quite well!<br />
<br />
A little stash before I go - here's yet another great big China kit. I think this is last of the truly huge ones that I have.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0N-wmfja9kQlMfGSKQvtvcSY1dXHSKpWs5zHVNA6UgrNhSfFaZLgLX9QNczZYFPilsMjJy7HS6XGu2CQpVHEmlu89eHHjVOwIG76xvSSEyKg08WioNqRdiVROUKJVbCkIfBGDSDPUyPt5/s1600/gardenPIC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0N-wmfja9kQlMfGSKQvtvcSY1dXHSKpWs5zHVNA6UgrNhSfFaZLgLX9QNczZYFPilsMjJy7HS6XGu2CQpVHEmlu89eHHjVOwIG76xvSSEyKg08WioNqRdiVROUKJVbCkIfBGDSDPUyPt5/s640/gardenPIC.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It's only called 'Garden' on most of the listings. I have seen it called 'Cottage Garden', though, so that's what I'm going with. It has slightly fewer pages than the last few:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvwDnTKxs8qkuB3SoK216eDbzfhYDLHe6xWczY5EpKVBSK0-0xRoCoX5pWjOUDnmxyuY2DvYBmhAIdw5iHeLEhOsg-EycfVUnvYukdgeuaoFqlKJ4mJDNjeOrhpOtzIn7vlurFfABKfS6/s1600/gardenPAGES.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOvwDnTKxs8qkuB3SoK216eDbzfhYDLHe6xWczY5EpKVBSK0-0xRoCoX5pWjOUDnmxyuY2DvYBmhAIdw5iHeLEhOsg-EycfVUnvYukdgeuaoFqlKJ4mJDNjeOrhpOtzIn7vlurFfABKfS6/s640/gardenPAGES.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Twenty total. This one is immensely popular - I've seen it on a <i>lot</i> of flosstube videos and blogs, but only in the small size. I got the BIG size - go big or go home! (Sorry, couldn't resist!)<br />
<br />
Here's what came out of the package:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYBUZoiYq4wGfaoWrwDZ6TQI-R9b1k0tzk9yEDXYIbNLb8vmUPouTOuoNuJmIva2MJIDbUt3MhJvXzODJy88L2SBI74gbfKf-HAvUUnQdGyFfFM4TBajlNHsqL1AQ5u2WIfdxX3-4WWJ79/s1600/gardenFOLD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYBUZoiYq4wGfaoWrwDZ6TQI-R9b1k0tzk9yEDXYIbNLb8vmUPouTOuoNuJmIva2MJIDbUt3MhJvXzODJy88L2SBI74gbfKf-HAvUUnQdGyFfFM4TBajlNHsqL1AQ5u2WIfdxX3-4WWJ79/s640/gardenFOLD.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And it opened up to show the floss:<br />
<br />

<br />
It's all sorted, just folded over on itself. There are 44 colors.<br />
<br />
And here's the fabric! This one just makes four feet long. It's going to be so pretty! But it's also solid stitching XD<br />
<br />

<br />
I really, really could never buy anything again and still have more to stitch than I could possibly finish before I die. That didn't stop my from going to JoAnn's today and buying a pile of floss. I had a one-day only 4 DMC for $1 coupon. I also got some McCall's patterns that were on sale, a World of Cross Stitch magazine and a new Q-Snap frame. The only good thing about so many doctor's appointments is that my new doctor is only 5 minutes from JoAnn's!!!<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching, dears!<br />

<br />
These first ones are the two projects that are riding about in my two different bags (only one is actual 'purse' size). I have two different part time jobs and I need different stuff for each one, so I just put a project in each bag. Sometimes, the smaller bag goes in the bigger bag, too, but oh well XD.<br />
<br />
Fizzy Moon 'Friends' is riding around in one since I finished 'Love, Love, Love'. It did look like this after its Maynia turn:<br />
<br />

Last time I showed it, it looked like this:<br />

And I've made pretty good progress on it for something that <i>might</i> get 15 minutes a day!<br />
<br />

<br />
And here is one you guys have not seen before (I think) - I was going to a doctor about 15 minutes away, once every month or so, and sitting in her waiting room for about an hour. I had a little purse I took with me only then and this kit was in it. It is 'Coffee Chalkboard' by Janlynn.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<br />
Sorry about the orts in there - didn't notice them until I had uploaded the pic! Here's how far I got with it before I switched doctors - last month? Yes, in April. It has not been worked on since, because I was taking 'Love, Love, Love' with me to the new one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I will say that there is stitching on the chart that is not in model picture, and stitching in the model picture that is not on the chart. So I'm picking what I like and leaving out what I don't :D This one is going to be my 'to-the-doctor' kit again, though, because 'Love, Love, Love' is done! I finished it up on April 26th. Here's how it looked:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicCY2YvjnRoSLxvjj4mw8WYoZG0X6dgeSZqlfyUxNvH9dvX615GcT_zXS5IY5XJf8vUJvptlPoR59Z4FScqxMJRGQPeVhTV4t02fUvhaZUJwOWlbfPKeWRIHg2kP9CXFq6WapuPbhwkpx2/s1600/LoveFEB16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicCY2YvjnRoSLxvjj4mw8WYoZG0X6dgeSZqlfyUxNvH9dvX615GcT_zXS5IY5XJf8vUJvptlPoR59Z4FScqxMJRGQPeVhTV4t02fUvhaZUJwOWlbfPKeWRIHg2kP9CXFq6WapuPbhwkpx2/s640/LoveFEB16.jpg" width="524" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And the last row finished it off! Now it just needs a bath and to be ironed before I start saving up for framing :D<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3c2yJdI2cd0rOpblFFk72xWxlTidg6mePFDGr6gmXHylS3dJA2IXw8bzpgTHXJRqfdiV8AG6Zq9SNxQZ31U9iXqQMWjI6ibgU5qxpBLKJsUwtxNWBoxHGAElUmHJeRTLdoVPH5SOSYxt/s1600/LLLoveDone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3c2yJdI2cd0rOpblFFk72xWxlTidg6mePFDGr6gmXHylS3dJA2IXw8bzpgTHXJRqfdiV8AG6Zq9SNxQZ31U9iXqQMWjI6ibgU5qxpBLKJsUwtxNWBoxHGAElUmHJeRTLdoVPH5SOSYxt/s640/LLLoveDone.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<br />
It still makes me think of the Beatles song!<br />
<br />
I was going to post about these kits once a week but I think I will make it once a month - I don't know if I will actually have progress on any of them once a week. My new doctor is an hour and a half away (but so much better), but I can't stitch in a moving vehicle on curvy roads and only the last half hour is on the four-lane. I live in the boonies, you know! And once I get there, I rarely have to wait more than 10 minutes (so nice!)<br />
<br />
I'll do my best to remember to post about these next month - someone remind me if I forget!<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

<br />
Here is project #5 - 'The Tie That Binds' from 'Words to Stitch By':<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWO495tnSMvL6skf6pO6ENCWv75k-3BOqww4fFHCSAfIcIEmYriodqvgGrkvisoQMqAFQYE9gfbkrW176j5rMzwecaw2Y-sRAs9k_mRFAzVQGcYk1Tq1UC0fz9khaGXekflVLXxZFQW6Nr/s1600/loveispic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWO495tnSMvL6skf6pO6ENCWv75k-3BOqww4fFHCSAfIcIEmYriodqvgGrkvisoQMqAFQYE9gfbkrW176j5rMzwecaw2Y-sRAs9k_mRFAzVQGcYk1Tq1UC0fz9khaGXekflVLXxZFQW6Nr/s640/loveispic.jpg" width="562" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I ended up with two -TWO - doctor's visits, after all, so there was less time for this than I hoped. However, I'm am very satisfied with my progress! Although, I must admit, the DMC conversion does not look a whole lot like that pattern picture. I noticed it when I got the floss, but I decided not to change it, because the person that this will eventually be given to will <i>love</i> these colors :D<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5EK4S0_f1lnrPUF9B0dCaRFtYZx21HnHrJui1_iF5t3BD4ER4sh5EkJxSGknTX-4PIju73G6Pcs2UEhVBQgnlNAaQ0qiDTMnsZIKYkyz9gXVTK5jWMju6jo0s62MBBb0a5jx3MLbrx-mo/s1600/tiebind1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="612" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5EK4S0_f1lnrPUF9B0dCaRFtYZx21HnHrJui1_iF5t3BD4ER4sh5EkJxSGknTX-4PIju73G6Pcs2UEhVBQgnlNAaQ0qiDTMnsZIKYkyz9gXVTK5jWMju6jo0s62MBBb0a5jx3MLbrx-mo/s640/tiebind1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The knotwork border is Olive Green, not Brown. Otherwise the colors match fairly well. Maybe the dark color in the flower is a bit redder. So pleased with this one :D<br />
<br />
And yeah, I decided to go for one last start - six total. (On the 30th I am not starting a new one. I think I will pick up my HAED, 'Unspoken'. I miss it.)<br />
<br />
For the last one, I decided to go big. Not quite HAED big, but pretty big, none the less!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglgFosrcBeT7NqBXx6iZcii4qEDk3mU50yc0dQtSsP9PbyOF06C0TSbF_Uzz8r-rObVfgXC6rFNxHYPCPryqkUE6lDNHuVD5Voukh1Z9FTFasrat5rlRuxvRwqJZPzypKQDj4rSt6F-P9K/s1600/royalPic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglgFosrcBeT7NqBXx6iZcii4qEDk3mU50yc0dQtSsP9PbyOF06C0TSbF_Uzz8r-rObVfgXC6rFNxHYPCPryqkUE6lDNHuVD5Voukh1Z9FTFasrat5rlRuxvRwqJZPzypKQDj4rSt6F-P9K/s640/royalPic.jpg" width="574" /></a></div>
<br />
Lovely, lovely, lovely! Except that the dark color I started with, just behind his ear, is SIX strands of floss in a half stitch. My fingers are sore from the effort of getting that through the fabric, and there is a ton of that symbol! But I shall persevere :D<br />
<br />
I have still more China kits to show you! This is one I've been searching to find for quite a while -it comes up on eBay and Aliexpress but it's usually the smaller version. I wanted the big one! It's called 'Golden Lillies'. It finally popped up on eBay in the large size and I grabbed it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqlM7BD-FKVqwizWE__r_eWjcGyrQKLahBwVXAQlCt4DvMbc4FBniERIg43r33-mhlfUXpGygUuRckrcH-3CPwPVVMD4cHpTR7MMIll5n1XDgQbjt2al3AYV8NgrJMg_0akcRdf1nYYD-X/s1600/lilliesPIC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqlM7BD-FKVqwizWE__r_eWjcGyrQKLahBwVXAQlCt4DvMbc4FBniERIg43r33-mhlfUXpGygUuRckrcH-3CPwPVVMD4cHpTR7MMIll5n1XDgQbjt2al3AYV8NgrJMg_0akcRdf1nYYD-X/s640/lilliesPIC.jpg" width="552" /></a></div>
<br />
I forgot to take a picture of the pages layout, but there are 24. It has 23 colors - less than usual but SO MUCH FLOSS! You'll see!<br />
<br />
Here's the folded fabric -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjanbDE3S2mpRvBswkiqMWxCxbXQjfsA1ucutiExzkkZ21Egh9517BhsEN0s-kXZN013toXVE3ErOFk8JDrwbl1jIWp1rAzp9yqom5zY9pd0k4w-7XOHAv64jalUtmUe3Dfk71fw_ZojdCt/s1600/lilliesFOLD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjanbDE3S2mpRvBswkiqMWxCxbXQjfsA1ucutiExzkkZ21Egh9517BhsEN0s-kXZN013toXVE3ErOFk8JDrwbl1jIWp1rAzp9yqom5zY9pd0k4w-7XOHAv64jalUtmUe3Dfk71fw_ZojdCt/s640/lilliesFOLD.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And I unfolded it to find this -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I am just <i>itching</i> to start one of these huge ones but I will finish Sunset Birds first!<br />
<br />
Happy stitching, guys! Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend - I have it off! Whoo hoo!<br />

<br />
Hayley the Horse, by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Zizidora?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Zizidora</a>, if anyone wants to grab her. She went straight into my cart!!!<br />
<br />
I'm glad I bought the simpler PlanetJune horse, though - this one is super-duper complicated! Look at this picture that is shown on the listing:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQSgUGKpbXbbpujPg57ClZ30AlGx8Ep0-CKDiuglCvTuunn7FjJyilvIOwvMEb2EmQgZP1bDawYd1utOILRL9KSVexZSQcXo6lSv9GmRyH6A9E1IEJ3w8xrslaX2Qj50tVe3LtbEDAuTX/s1600/hayley2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQSgUGKpbXbbpujPg57ClZ30AlGx8Ep0-CKDiuglCvTuunn7FjJyilvIOwvMEb2EmQgZP1bDawYd1utOILRL9KSVexZSQcXo6lSv9GmRyH6A9E1IEJ3w8xrslaX2Qj50tVe3LtbEDAuTX/s640/hayley2.jpg" width="483" /></a></div>
<br />
Holy smokes! When I get around to her, she is going to take a while! But she is so pretty and so detailed! She even has her fetlocks!!! And you can't see it, but she has a cleft bum XD I laughed so hard when I saw that picture!<br />
<br />
So my Amigurumi to-do list is currently: Bigfoot (almost done, JoJo!), an Alien, a cupcake, possible Orca, a fuzzy Yeti, a PlanetJune yeti, a Pegasus from the PlanetJune horse, and then Hayley. Also, the Fairy Hideaway tree is almost done. I only need to sew it together but I ran out of yarn. I'm looking for a close enough match :D Then I will be back with pictures.<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

<br />
So not a lot of time for posting, and sadly not a lot of time for stitching. But here's the bit I have done!<br />
<br />
So, Fizzy Moon kit 'Friends' was start #3 for StitchMaynia:<br />

I like that stripey red hat! I did make one counting mistake in out - I've pulled out the wrong stitches, but I have to put one stitch of dark red back in. This one is interesting - it has those funny stacked stitches that you only seem to see in British patterns.<br />
<br />
Here was my choice for start #4:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RAbNPJAM0S1_mdJDQWB5wkC4OL16VsNfqKwnKFMcAmTcr4yJhZNLrdSSBs6IQy8UyG309JOEENqEMgk7Uf2LoBWrO-A5x4rTGWb2yTF7iEV-UQ_G58tMC1KUmVQg1Bt0CAgC6lCFe82-/s1600/footpPIC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RAbNPJAM0S1_mdJDQWB5wkC4OL16VsNfqKwnKFMcAmTcr4yJhZNLrdSSBs6IQy8UyG309JOEENqEMgk7Uf2LoBWrO-A5x4rTGWb2yTF7iEV-UQ_G58tMC1KUmVQg1Bt0CAgC6lCFe82-/s640/footpPIC.jpg" width="526" /></a></div>

<br />
My father loves the 'Footprints in the Sand' story, so this will be for him. One of my first cross stitch projects was the Lord's Prayer done almost all in backstitch so this will sort of match. That one has been hanging on my parents' wall for years.<br />
<br />
There are several versions of this story done in cross stitch - one is a kit by Bucilla - but this is the one I like the most. For one thing, it has the whole story on it, and I really like the 'delicate' look of it. I'm stitching it on the recommended fabric, which is 28ct Mushroom Lugana. It's not quite the same color as pictured, though. I wonder if the color has changed since this pattern was published? I know you can tell from the price that it's pretty old! It was published in 1985.<br />
<br />
This one didn't go to the doctors with me, as I don't like taking something this big. So it got a total of two evenings work on it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC9LzrJpiBJ2hlzAAQs4TfMDjSaRRQhRDk9nwRrYvbjG_Io6kmY4qjn5uabDDeJkca-mFnvYRmu8atUpBRlQgQQfe_xQbCMZiZsV1dYMVPU3j7tNlY0x6Y7mT8O8pe2SM7VaWHNj0nCd7D/s1600/footp1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="606" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC9LzrJpiBJ2hlzAAQs4TfMDjSaRRQhRDk9nwRrYvbjG_Io6kmY4qjn5uabDDeJkca-mFnvYRmu8atUpBRlQgQQfe_xQbCMZiZsV1dYMVPU3j7tNlY0x6Y7mT8O8pe2SM7VaWHNj0nCd7D/s640/footp1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It was slightly slow going even then, as I got the hang of doing backstitched words over two. I don't think I've done that before! I was just getting in the groove when it was time to switch projects - that's the only thing I don't like about my rotation!<br />
<br />
And here is start #5! I started it on the 20th. It's from this lovely book, and I'm doing the one on the cover.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsbBy3iRQLo4k7gm5P4-Ffjd7Y9N3IYdQLuWLmIIz0uVYWGj3kT-hbFNonQ6uKKBMuGBvd3tJgUGZWU7N4IZd_2KanL1EiF9B_vivVA5OxVt1SWvCGecEfIukbMMCp2MLCquCWHUhrZd_N/s1600/loveispic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsbBy3iRQLo4k7gm5P4-Ffjd7Y9N3IYdQLuWLmIIz0uVYWGj3kT-hbFNonQ6uKKBMuGBvd3tJgUGZWU7N4IZd_2KanL1EiF9B_vivVA5OxVt1SWvCGecEfIukbMMCp2MLCquCWHUhrZd_N/s640/loveispic.jpg" width="562" /></a></div>
<br />
No doctor visits for a few days, so I'm hoping for some good progress :D It's charted for NPI silks, but I can't afford those, so I'm doing the DMC conversion. The colors are therefore a little different, but you'll see when I post my progress picture. Hopefully, not as late as this time!<br />
<br />
I do want to show you my 'purse' kits and their progress but I'll save that for tomorrow - maybe make a Sunday tradition of it :D They usually get a little work done on them every week.<br />
<br />
For now, though, here is (yet another) China pre-printed kit :D :D :D I actually got this one a while ago but forgot to post about it. It's not one of my brand-new goodies. I do love it, though!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The listing only called it 'Horses' so I will have to see what the name actually is. It's a very nice stylized drawing. This one has 14 pages, half of which are smaller pages. So it's roughly the same as a HAED Quick-Stitch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Except of course, on giant fabric XD This one is 3 feet long and about 1 1/2 feet high. It came with two needles and has a lot of floss colors (37, I think), and one of the big twisted skeins of extra floss. I thought it would be black, but actually the darkest color on the piece is a very dark green. So there's a green horse in there!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here is is with the 8x10 booklet laying on it. I blacked out the floss key, so no one can yell at me about showing what is almost a pattern. I don't think anyone could see the picture well enough to stitch from it but why risk it?<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is my progress on start #2 - as a reminder, it's supposed to look like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPDMQuF5mMjmuHRJf0Bqrtd6op7JXAunKOU7m04TWMhYssJHvJuYPoGLthq5Kb_-UCAmqZMbjMUZIPRpITlLD6uaI4JbFaowjZtGXr80s5IcmobtddaFUG0Qx_ZI7proq1Lx-nEhJtmPFN/s1600/tea1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPDMQuF5mMjmuHRJf0Bqrtd6op7JXAunKOU7m04TWMhYssJHvJuYPoGLthq5Kb_-UCAmqZMbjMUZIPRpITlLD6uaI4JbFaowjZtGXr80s5IcmobtddaFUG0Qx_ZI7proq1Lx-nEhJtmPFN/s640/tea1.jpg" width="574" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The tea things and the daises are solidly stitched, but I didn't want to stitch all that white on white fabric. So, instead of doing in on 14 count white aida, I chose to do it on 28 count Glass Blue Monaco. Here's my start:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYStvt18CXYkHhoaxK3p_YmPNBY9q_BbxOQneFd9kCFb4rgHR8JDXFAF-XRHwxLsMNQfY2rUJum6Og6O48e-WxnGIJHSwEAFEsd7u1KN_VebMpIzH7zPwylndzU-_OoOdXpD2xpgqfnTi/s1600/teakit1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYStvt18CXYkHhoaxK3p_YmPNBY9q_BbxOQneFd9kCFb4rgHR8JDXFAF-XRHwxLsMNQfY2rUJum6Og6O48e-WxnGIJHSwEAFEsd7u1KN_VebMpIzH7zPwylndzU-_OoOdXpD2xpgqfnTi/s640/teakit1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I finished all of the B5200 in the daises and have started on the other colors. I'm looking forward to working my way down the vase!</div>
<br />
Here's start #3 - I have a lot of doctor appointments coming up and I wanted something small to take with me - it's still going to get its five days of work, but if for some reason I don't finish it, it'll go in my purse. (I finished the Love, Love, Love kit that was going about in my smaller purse, but I keep forgetting to take a picture!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33sjQFXOBGVkRMWzOWiXpIFlL4iUlzld1AGuXrRFI9Loy2MrP1SSlbUaR8eHCtt14dXM2tdtKmhuP6D38L6Bm68CqIsvAEJhG76t6pos7BefTMEVh3HFT_6wp70fTv25SdsL6v_G4ImoI/s1600/fizzyPic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33sjQFXOBGVkRMWzOWiXpIFlL4iUlzld1AGuXrRFI9Loy2MrP1SSlbUaR8eHCtt14dXM2tdtKmhuP6D38L6Bm68CqIsvAEJhG76t6pos7BefTMEVh3HFT_6wp70fTv25SdsL6v_G4ImoI/s640/fizzyPic.jpg" width="602" /></a></div>
<br />
It's a free Fizzy Moon kit that came with an issue of World of Cross Stitch. It's called 'Friends' and is to be finished into a little card. I'll probably give it to my mom, 'cause she'll use it to decorate with :D<br />
<br />
And now, another China kit :D :D :D<br />
<br />
This one is a big one (yay!) and is called 'Tiger Family'. Here's the picture on the booklet.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_9fYdOrQBZ8IePUIMASY92aA3LrVRPvx6IFjAj_t4j50p6W59VVmgGdmqn7GPyh5yqAM2aIbM1NYr15GX3EC2CRS1BVsuupJfbePL-_2yh44-04mElBVax8R_h1Yp4GhXLX0Qx6zUbHfw/s1600/tigerpic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_9fYdOrQBZ8IePUIMASY92aA3LrVRPvx6IFjAj_t4j50p6W59VVmgGdmqn7GPyh5yqAM2aIbM1NYr15GX3EC2CRS1BVsuupJfbePL-_2yh44-04mElBVax8R_h1Yp4GhXLX0Qx6zUbHfw/s640/tigerpic.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<br />
And the pattern page layout:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Twenty four fairly solid-stitch pages. This is what came out of the package - a big, heavy piece of fabric with three packs of two needles each! I hope these don't make my fingers burn like the others did! Six extra needles is a nice thing :D<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh_2t5m6sMSEpSeoBWAyTjqwQUyFm_Ut5bNOaNztlTQdbaKZGMqbtSkEVuE-rBy28-eioewC_gvapn9dCbGZpso2nPxpfiuzFcDQq-TeepZUfIApiofVbuRkTkZ0lZPwu7ud2pvoGwd872/s1600/tigerfold.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh_2t5m6sMSEpSeoBWAyTjqwQUyFm_Ut5bNOaNztlTQdbaKZGMqbtSkEVuE-rBy28-eioewC_gvapn9dCbGZpso2nPxpfiuzFcDQq-TeepZUfIApiofVbuRkTkZ0lZPwu7ud2pvoGwd872/s640/tigerfold.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
When I unfolded it, this is the floss pile I saw. It's all sorted, no worries there, it's just folded around the floss sorters. I think this one has 44 colors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivin7xGjo5aOeejqD2SlTflIgNa_WxiTf6Rsh60_3BJfUeQukDjNDz24AZQSNZnzk4A2aJNkxh_3UxnaISXrFIul5yui6AoWzcCNHl-_pFGY-HJHyUGinQXYzLabT0meOowjPPBVSGmU-4/s1600/tigerfloss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivin7xGjo5aOeejqD2SlTflIgNa_WxiTf6Rsh60_3BJfUeQukDjNDz24AZQSNZnzk4A2aJNkxh_3UxnaISXrFIul5yui6AoWzcCNHl-_pFGY-HJHyUGinQXYzLabT0meOowjPPBVSGmU-4/s640/tigerfloss.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I unfolded the giant fabric - it's just shy of four feet long and about 30 inches tall:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwYhyphenhyphenVOnPjLDVf1SeGNhwQ2kX8yRZq9KImscb5WQDzxStFc1l-PUhWNl7DIRrXzXlSod30YVVwLCiHT8VpzRy6EsaP5jN09TvgVMEJx7RVifBAXDDjxdyKagi00RgPQb0Q1htH9H-BH-1i/s1600/tigerCloth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwYhyphenhyphenVOnPjLDVf1SeGNhwQ2kX8yRZq9KImscb5WQDzxStFc1l-PUhWNl7DIRrXzXlSod30YVVwLCiHT8VpzRy6EsaP5jN09TvgVMEJx7RVifBAXDDjxdyKagi00RgPQb0Q1htH9H-BH-1i/s640/tigerCloth.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Yeeks! This is going to take a while! But I think I'm going to love every stitch! I can't wait until my Dad has time to make my big frame so I can work on one of these giant kits!<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching guys! I'll be back around the 15th with whatever I start next!<br />

I have very little progress to show you, and a very sad picture - my camera did not like the lighting or the color of the fabric for my 'A is for Anchor'.<br />

I'm stitching it 3 over 2 on a piece of 28 count mushroom Lugana. It's a pretty, pale, brown-grey neutral. I made a mistake or two and had to fix them, plus got distracted by something else new, so obviously I didn't get far.</div>

It's the kitten in the teacup on the cover, and it's for my sister. I had planned to do only the kitten and the cup, but when I showed it to my sis, she loved the daisies and the teapot and all of it, so there we go :D It's only going to be 8x8 so I maybe can manage to get it done for her Christmas gift. I've got most of two daisies done so far.</div>

These are pretty much the same as a computer-generated cross stitch chart, so it will be fairly pixellated, but I think it will still be pretty. My sister has already asked for the finished piece but we'll have to see about that!</div>

Here's the contents of the box - one canvas (12x16 for this one), a pair of tweezers, what I thought was one triangle tray but turned out to be two, a packing sheet/list, a pack of teeny ziplock bags, and a whole whack o'beads!</div>

You peel back the paper to get to the sticky canvas, and put the beads on with tweezers. It's really just like a cross stitch chart, I swear! And the bead colors match DMC colors, which is pretty cool.</div>

I thought it would be slow and cautious with the tiny diamonds but it goes pretty quick! I really like it - I've ordered a smaller kit with the square diamonds, and another with the round diamonds so I can see what those are like.</div>

I also promised to show some of my new China printed cross stitch kits and they've started to arrive! I think I'll show one a post until they are all here :D</div>

The first one came with a pattern but no picture so once again I got the picture from the listing. It's called 'Beautiful Wolves', at least on the listing I bought it from. I've seen it with other names. I will tell you right now, it is not this big. I did realize that before I bought it, so I'm not upset like some people have been. These listings can be dangerous - the sellers just use photoshop or something like it to put the picture into a frame and show it in a room - no matter how small it actually is, it always looks huge! But you can find the actual size in the listing if you pay close attention - it's often in small print toward the bottom.</div>

These wolves are the first kit I started to buy when I discovered these type of kits, but at the time (it was years ago) I couldn't figure out the site as it was all in Chinese, and they weren't on ebay yet. Translating it was no help. So I didn't get it and I was quite pleased to find them on eBay recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It's about 18x18 and there are 44 colors. Lots of purple, which I saw on flosstube videos of this kit so I was also not surprised. I don't mind some lavender-y wolves, though :D This may be the kit that gets started once 'Sunset Birds' is done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll be back with an update on the new project (and maybe the cat) and another kit, somewhere around the 10th!</div>
