Dragon Love :)

Here she is at 20 hours. I am really pleased with how she is coming out however i don't believe that I will be reaching my goal of finishing her in 25 hours. There is still some stitching to be done, a ton of back stitching and beading. I figure that there is another 10 or so hours to work on her before I see a finish.

I will be keeping her as my car piece instead of trading her out so I may be luck enough to see a finish on her by the end of next week. I have not decided if I will go ahead and start another Futurecast for myself when I complete her or start Dragon Rampant instead. I still have a bit to make that decision though.

I was able to find my mistake on Twilight which ended up with a lot of frogging. I has somehow skipped a 4 row section. After all of that frogging I had to put it away for a little bit I will however get back to stitching on it when it next comes up in my rotation though. I really can't wait to see the end of that project ! I should be able to finish off page 3 on the next round then comes almost a full page of 939 !! Yuck !! I really hope that baby girl likes it when it is done.

Not As Much

as I had planned to get done on this. I had hoped to be finished with this page by now however this week has been super crazy with us not getting in until late each night. I am still plugging away on it though. My son was invited to join the school football team as a Line - Back and he jumped at the chance so this week has been filled with practices and this weekend with games. I know nothing about football so I guess it is time that I learned LOL !

Change of plans

I have decided to give Twilight a push and finish page 3 before I move on with my rotation. I have about 1500 more stitches to go before this page is finished so I might as well get it out of the way while I am feeling motivated to work on it. I should be back in a few days with a updated picture ! wish me luck :)

More Edward and Bella

As a reminder as to what it will look like when (If ) I finish !

I have now done my 10 hours on this so I am off to another WIP - I may pull out my TW and put a few stitches into it.

Progress

I have been able to put 5 hours in on this so far, oh how I dislike 939 !! I am taking a break to stitch a little ornament then I will put another 5 hours into this one.

Twilight is back

Here is Twilight as I last left it, wow it has been months since I last touched it. I got so sick of all of the 939 in it. My goal is to get page 3 to the 1/2 way point. It is slotted for 10 hours so we will see how far I am able to get.

Back to Twilight

I have picked up my Twilight again and it will be my focus piece until I get page 3 finished off ( it has a nasty yellow tint in this photo - don't know why as it does not look like this in person). If it's not finished by this weekend then I will take a break from it Saturday and Sunday to work on Lissandrea for the SAL. There are 3,564 stitches in this page !! I better stay off of Facebook if I want to get it all done in 5 days ;)

1 Goal Reached

Well I just feel like doing a Happy Dance :) I have finished one of my goals for this month, exceeded it even. I was to put 200 stitches into Twilight and managed to put about 700 in 2 days Yeah !! I am pulling it from the Q-snaps today, though if I have time come the end of the month it will go back in for a few days for some work on page 3.
It really looks so much better in person, the colors blend a lot better when you can step back from it. Overall I am really happy with it. I think for the rest of the day I will work on an ornament for the 12 ornament challenge. I have several that I want to stitch , it's going to be hard to choose. Not only do I want to stitch for my tree but I would also like to be able to give some away as gifts. Lets hope that my needle keeps on smoking !! Have a wonderful day.

First stitches of 2011

I think that I will be putting my first stitches of 2011 into Twilight. I figure there are about 400-500 stitches left to finish out page 2 and that's what I will be doing. I really can't wait to see this one finished. I really like how the finished piece looks , but darn there is so much dark blue in it. My baby girl "Baby Red" has already claimed it as her's and has a spot all ready for it above the head of her bed LOL ! She ask's me all the time why I'm not working on it :) So to appease the 7 year old I will attempt to get page 2 finished then only 7 more to go ! I will be back by the end of the week with photo's, if I am lucky maybe sooner !

Update of Twilight

Here is my progress so far on page 2 of Twilight. I am going to try to have it finished today. Gonna chill out and watch Disturbed video's on YouTube today while I stitch :)

I'm Back :) Twilight Update

Well I am finally back, 70 $ poorer but none the less it is good to have my computer back. I just realized that I never showed what the finished Twilight will look like.

This is as far as I have gotten since my last post. Not very far but life has been really busy. I hope to have page 2 finished by the middle of next week.

Picture Time

Feels really good to have pg 1 finished, now on to page 2 and the top of Edwards head :)

Page 1 Finished

Well I have page 1 of Twilight finished, almost 3 skeins of 939 in this page alone !! I need to go to Fabric Garden Monday and pick up 4 more skeins of the 939. I hope to be able to get over to my friends house tonight to use his camera so I can snap a photo. Off to go do some non 939 stitching on page 2. Only 8 more pages to go till this is finished :)

Twilight Update

A dear friend of mine let me use his camera to snap this photo. This is 1/2 of page 1 of Twilight, doesn't look like much of the moment but when I hit pg 2 I will get to stitch with a bit of colour, can't wait.

Well I am starting Twilight, page 1 is mostly 939 with a bit of 310 thrown in. I have my fist 1,000 stitches mapped out. After this 1,000 I will switch over to Lissandrea for 1,000. Just chilling out watching the Supernatural marathon on TBS. I just love this show :)
