Hermit Weekend

I tried the International Stitch & Hermit (Hermit & Stitch?) Weekend.
I ended up having to work, so I didn't get much accomplished.
I got my Dolphin kit a little closer to being done:

I'm hoping it will be my next Challenge finish.
And I got a Stocking almost done; it only needs some more backstitching:

Here are two Sprites that I stitched a couple weeks ago - I just forgot to post them. They're by Missy!
Cloud from Final Fantasy

and Gojyo from Saiyuki

I plan to stitch Loz and Yazoo next.
I have added a page with pics of all thirty of my 'Challenge' pieces. It's to keep me organized :D

TUSAL the Fourth!

With the floss squashed down and some yarn orts added:

What I've Been Doing.

Backstitching. - Lots of backstitching. - A whole lot of backstitching, really... - And more backstitching on Fred, though I don't have a pic of that yet. I kind of like backstitching - especially on that little stocking. It was like a surprise, I didn't realize the orange lump was a cat; I thought it was maybe a footstool? The kit pictures are too small to see. And I had no idea that there was a wee mouse on the table. . The flower buttons on 'God's Grace' are not sewn down; I'm still playing with color and placement. The original has little heart buttons inside almost every large letter, but I didn't really like that. The original also had a lot more backstitching, but I think I like this one as it is. What do you guys think? Do the flowers need backstitching? I am not going to backstitching the big letters. . **EDIT** I forgot to add that 'Eeyore' and 'God's Grace' are the first two finishes in the Crazy January Challenge!

The Perils of Neglecting Blogs

When I got home from work, I logged into Google Reader for the first time in days.

There are six hundred and sixty-six unread blog posts in there.

I don't know what to think about that...

Now my cross stitch will all be possessed by frogs or something.

...

I shouldn't have said that, should I?

*runs off to find wood to knock on*

lol

TUSAL Time :D

Here's for February - won't be as much when I squish them down. Pretty bits of pink, though... I don't actually remember stitching anything pink Oo




TUSAL is hosted by Daffycat!

Hmm...

I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted!
I have had work, and a really nasty virus.
I have been stitching though - I'll show some pics of big projects in a day or two, but first here are my latest Sprites from DorkStitch patterns:


Finishing up the Gundam pilots:

Heero

I'm not sure that color is the Prussian blue his eyes are supposed to be - but oh well! I like it.

Trowa

In his fancy-pants outfit :D

Quatre

He's such a little preppie boy XD

and here's Ramona! This is the other Sprite my sister wanted:


Also stitched Sanzo


More Saiyuki boys to come!

And Kadaj!


Cloud and Gojyo from Saiyuki are next on my Sprite list!

Tusal the Second!

My wee TUSAL jar, next to a bird-light-house.



Not much more, and it'll be even less when I squish it flat later.
