4.5 (b) I forgot!

I also finished Death!

*Basks in the glory of the epic finish*

4.3 Death page 12

There is a competition on one of the facebook groups I'm in atm, where the challenge for the month is ...page finishes.  Hey, why not I thought, means I can work on Death AND possibly win stuff!  Always good.

Beginning of the month

Page 12 finished!  And it's only the 4th!

Best thing is that having that page done, it means I only have 3 partial pages (2, 3 and 8) and 2 full pages (6 and 9).  AWW YUSS

Another small bits sections, done in Fiberlicious Xmas Wreath and Siren Song

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...

3.12 Updating cos I've been slack ....

Death at the start of February

Death as it is now, folded and put away for a break.

Queen as of today, and about to go back in my frame after traveling to Dunedin for a night.

The heart that will be a cushion soon.  That red fabric at the bottom?  That's what the edge of the cushion will be.  And yes, pics will come of the cushion when it's done.

And to finish it all off, another sunset.  Welcome to Autumn

3.09 - Some Updates

So, I suppose I'm over due for an update. I have already switched 3 projects or so during this time.  This is my progression on Night Owl :)

Jan 8

Jan 9 (you can see the tufts of the owl's hair!)

Jan 12 - More Orange!

My cute babies

Jan 15 - THE EYE IS COMING!

 But that was  the end of Night Owl's rotation... Back onto Snow!

Jan 15

Jan 23 - I know I didn't get very far, or take a lot of pictures >_>

And then... the in-laws came to visit, so not much more stitching on her! I'll update later on the other projects <3

3.07 Catching up

Death on the 9th, I haven't taken pics since then but there is a chunk more done

The beginning of Happiness...the SAL with Es and Fatema that I ended up starting early...

Part one

Part two

Part three

Part four

The beautiful sunset 

Part five all ironed up and ready for the framing efforts.

As it was mothers birthday, I made her a cake...with 3 packets of maltesers covering the outside, and cream cheese icing inside.  It was a chocolate overload.  Took me two days to finish my slice =<

3.01 2014 Begins, and stitching continues along...

Dawn on New Years Day in New Zealand.  Then it started to rain.  Sigh....

I'm activly working off 7 pages at once....following the colour blocks where they lead.

....which is proving interesting.

The circles and spirals are starting to appear, and the beak of the phoenix (attempt 2, it was a rough night stitching for both me and Es.)

Then I started getting sick of yellow again.

And decided to start working on the phoenix again.  He's getting there!

2.47 - Rose of Sharon Dec. Update

Hello everyone, Sarah here. Have a 2 week break from classes and finally have a way to update the blog again! Had to have either Kat or Es upload pictures for me before for me to write stuff to. Apparently you can't upload pictures here from an ipad. Anyway for an update of Rose of Sharon! Yes it has been about a month since I've updated so here goes.

 I have started to work more on her dress on the lower right side.

Sorry this is a bit blurry, light wasn't that great. More done on her dress though!

Did a bit of the grass on the left side to be able to start work on the lower part of the left pillar!

Starting to look so beautiful if I do say so myself!

Now for a few pics of pretty things I got for Xmas this year :D

Lion King, gotta love it!

Pokemon charms for the phone!

Just for Es, I promised pictures of all the floss I got today on sale!

And finally, on a more somber note, my Aunt passed away and in honour of her memory I have picked out a HAED pattern to do for her. It is Butterfly Wood. Chart Design by Michele Sayetta and Artwork done by by David Penfound Artworks.

This is the picture

What I have done so far, not much because I've been focusing on Rose, but a start non-the-less.

That's it for now. Will update again when I get more done on either :)!

2.46 Tarot: Death update

The very top left corner

The cool purple at the bottom, cos I got bored of yellow.

And then I decided to do stuff in the middle.

2.43 Update from Kat

Stitching update before I forget...

So the Tarot: Death is doing ok, I've just been enjoying the sun more of recent.  And my new art project, but I forgot to take pics of that, and I'm not putting yet more photos on my computer, making it the third effort in the last ten minutes alone.....

Instead, I shall leave it with sunrise yesterday morning.
