2.22 - Updates and stuff

So, I suppose it's time for an update on my progress...

This is day....something or other...

This is the day after that.

 You can't quite see the difference because I was working on the itsy bitsy stuff... no more than 5 stitches... usually only 2 or 3 of one colour >.<

This is today :D

 This one is starting to expand out to the right:D

This is a little close-up.

A shot of the bitsy arc.

Another close-up.

 You cannot tell, but there is actually about 7 or 8 different whites/creams in that shot there...

And finally....Another close up... I like the feeling of those little stitches out to the side. 

It's starting to look really nice :D And I'm glad to get away from the single stitches so I'm enjoying it a bit more... On a side note, I have gotten Snow and Autumn Dryad printed out... Now it's just deciding if I want to do it on 18 or 25 ct cloth :O Decisions decisions...

Es~~

2.18 - Sad, Depressing Update

So, I've been reluctant to post my update... Everyone can blame Kat... >.> She is a zillion miles ahead of me with half the time spent... GrrRrRrr. Either way... here is my turtle speed progress... With pictures... I don't exactly remember what days...but a guess...

Day 5 (I think)

Day 6

Day 7

Day 8

 A couple of close ups (I tried to not let my threads overlap each other)

Day 9

 I only take solace in the fact that my back, is pretty...and neat...and tidy... yup...

And...That's that :O

2.11 - The Start of Something New

So, the same night I've finished something, I've started something else, YAY! Kat and I have both started on Dreamcatcher, granted she got a LOT more done than I did. She was much more decisive about the cutting of fabric and getting everything started, while I was counting this way, and that way, and this way, and that way... repeatedly... She can testify that I counted no less than 40 times before I cut the fabric. I couldn't decide how much room to leave myself on each edge, and my paranoid worries that I miscounted... So I didn't just double check, and triple check, but a bazillia-checked (shush, it's a new word).  When I finally got around cutting and putting it in the frame, I had to decide how long to cut the thread... *sigh* I'm indecisive, I know... Well anyways, in the end, not a lot was done, but here it is...

This is the tiny tiny piece of black on the top left corner of the pattern... (Did I tell anyone about how much I looooooooooove this fabric with the grid already woven in? I LOVE IT!!!!! I will probably never using any other cloth.)

This is the pattern of how much I've done...

This is my back, which is so far neat and tiny... I plan to keep it this way!! (fingers crossed)

This is what it will look like in the end. (Minus the fake border frame)

I wonder who will finish first... Probably Kat because I'm a slow stitcher... I'm much pickier than she is (if you have't already noticed). Also, I'm looking to start Autumn Dryad by Maxine Gadd sometime soon-ish as well.... So, lots to do! Yay!

Also, this is what I woke up to yesterday after my 4 hour nap :D

Breakfast potatoes and eggs... It was omnomnom and the perfect start to my cross stitching for the day!

That is all for now!
