Sadness of an Angel Update



I decided to go back to Sadness of an Angel to finish out this page . I hope to have this page done by the end of the week and then I will be going back to Lilith to get the 1st page of it completed. I am pretty excited to see a bit of forehead come out, I think in the next 3 rows left on this page I will get to an eye - well a bit of one anyways. I have yet to decided if I will go with page 2 which has more hair and what looks like it could be an ear or if I will drop down to page 11 which looks like it is mostly background with a bit of nose on it.

Lilith Update



This is my progress on Lilith, not as much as I had hoped for. Now I need to decide if I will keep with her until page 1 is finished or switch back to Sadness of an Angel. There is still a fair bit of confetti left to do on this page and it is driving me nuts at how slow it is going.

QS Lilith and IHSW



It is that time of month again - time for IHSW and I am so excited ! This is my before pic of Lilith , as you can see I have been working a bit on her wing. I just love the colors in this, such a change from the gray's of sadness of an Angel. I hope to be able to get this page finished off this weekend.

Stalled Out



I am really happy with the progress that I have made on Sadness of an Angel. At the moment I am at almost 4300 stitches. However I have to put her away for a bit as I ran out of a couple colors that I need to work on her. I will go into town sometime next week to pick them up.
I am pulling out QS Lilith to work on until I get some more thread. Maybe I will get lucky and have a page finish in the next week, there are only 2400 stitches until the end of the page :) I will be back in a couple of days with a picture of Lilith.

I just couldn't help myself !!


I was trying to be good during the HEAD sale but this one kinda just jumped into my cart :) The dog in it reminds me so much of our Pit Bull Spike ! I want to do this as a gift for my DH , I just know that he will love it. It is not to large , only 283 x 280. I have the perfect piece of white 22ct to do it on :)

A bit of hair



I managed to fill the hole in late last night, I am just amazed at the detail in her hair.When I am stitching on her she just looks like a grey blob but when I set her down and take a step back she looks amazing! I have got the top 4 rows done and I think I want to keep going to get the next 3 rows done (2400 stitches). By the time I get to the bottom of the next 3 rows I will be starting a bit of her face and I am very excited for that.

2,800 Stitches


Well I am now at a little over 2800 stitches. I was really hoping to be further along with this by now but this week has just been crazy. This weekend I am going to work on getting the hole closed up. I never showed what the finished artwork will look like so I have added a photo of it below.
