4.2 Other bits update

And so the bits begin...

My new start for 2015 is Resting, from Tilton.

Artwork by Victoria Frances

Stitched on 28 count evenweave, 2 over 1 tent stitch.

This is only worked on maybe once a month, when the SAL weekend hits, so it's not moving along as fast as some of the others, but oh well.

Sometime in Jan I rolled out this fairy adaption.

4.1 The 2015 update

Well.  Remember way back when (ok, start of last year, but still), when this pattern began?

Such humble beginnings!

Yeah well, it came back out again this year.  It's my main goal for 2015 to get this finished.  And since I can almost SEE the end of this one now, I WILL GET IT FINISHED DAMNIT.  Anyway, here is what I've managed to get to so far...

3.20 End of Year Update (ie, what I've been doing recently)

Well I figured it was about time I gave an update on what I've been doing again.  I've actually been kinda....slack...in taking pics recently.  Oh wells.  These things happen, right?

Currently on my frame is this one: Spring Butterflies, from Love Thy Thread, adapted from artwork by Gabrielle Hugo.  It's one of the ones I managed to nab before LTT closed down.
