A Busy Week - Picture Heavy

This past week has been very busy stitching wise. I put a few hundred more stitches into Lissandrea and now the hole in page 1 of her is much smaller, I hope to be able to finish off page 1 this upcoming week.

I also put a few more stitches into Pumpkin Hollow Farm, I am working on the house today so if I am very lucky I will be able to get it done by tonight. However I am doing the house in WEEK's Cocoa so that slows it down a bit.

I restarted my HAED's Magic Witch on the 22ct this week also - I am a bit further along now then this photo show's. I am up to 600 stitches on it.

I also stitched up a bookmark for an exchange that I am in. I will do the finishing on it in the a.m. as it need to be mailed out tomorrow. This was so much fun to stitch up, I have decided that I will be doing 3 or 4 more for Christmas gifts .

Terra Fairy Progress

I have made a bit of progress on Terra fairy, I am really enjoying working the big blocks of green in her. It is a nice break from working on the confetti in some of my other projects :) I really can't wait to get to her head though. There should be a good deal of progress on her next week as the freebie SAL is on for next week on the HAED board.

A New SAL On 123 Stitch

There is a new SAL starting on the 123 Stitch Message Board and I am quite excited by it. You can pick a HAED or Mystic Stitch project to do. I think that I am joining in with Lissandrea as she is feeling quite neglected as of late. This SAL also might help me to reach my 3 page goal for Lissandrea this year.

So here's the deal/rules...
1) Pick a project. If you're using a project you've already started...take a starting picture.

2) Send me your board name, e-mail address, name of the project, who its designed by, and a before picture or let me know its a new project. I'll put details into a spreadsheet (It won't get shared with anyone) to track the number of updates with stitching you make in the 52 year period.

3) I'll do my BEST to start a post every Sunday (HAED and MS SAL - week xx) for everyone to post an update to. You'll need to post your update within 2 days of the initial post. This way if I get sick or something and I don't end up able to start the post unitl Monday or something, you'll still have 2 days to post your progress.

4) And my favorite part...which will not impact me obviously...In the event that you are uber skilled or just highly motivated...if you finish your HAED or MS piece prior to the 52 weeks being over...you have to start another one. :-) You have to send me the details as in step 2 .

Hi My Name Is .......

Amy and I am a serial starter LOL !!! Well I caved this week not only did I restart Nimue' "La Pipe" on some wonderful 32ct even-weave but I also started Pumpkin Hollow Farm by LHN on some 16 ct Aida that I dye with coffee. In real life the Aida has a wonderful marbled antique look to it.

Getting There

Well I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, I am now 2700 stitches into this ! Only 1300 more stitches until I finish page 1 Yeah !! I am now working on the top of the fairy's head, it's pretty much all confetti so it is pretty slow going. I am going to finish out this page and then try to make some headway on Magic Witch. I restarted her this past week on 20ct even-weave but i am really not happy with the fabric so I am going to restart her yet again on 18ct Aida. I have also decided that I will be restarting my Nimue' "La Pipe", I just hate the fabric way to much to finish it so i might as well do a restart on it . At least then I will feel like stitching on it, I want to have it done and framed so that I can have it ready for Larry's Birthday in November.

I want to be bad !!

So I am so tempted to start these 2 storykeep's from HAED ! They are screaming " Just a few stitches then you can put us away". I think that I need to stay away from the HAED site when they are having sale's LOL ! I am way to distracted by pretty charts. I even ordered the fabric for both of them through 123stitch and it arrived in yesterday's mail. I have decided to stitch them on white 22 ct Aida. They won't be to much bigger then on the 25ct and I won't kill my eye's trying to see the holes. I am going to try to hold out a bit on starting them as I already have 3 HAED WIP"s going at the moment but I don't know much longer I can stand their screaming !

Nimue' " La Pipe"

Well this is the Nimue' UFO that I spoke about a few post's ago. I now remember why it became a UFO. I hate the fabric that I started it on. The fabric is 25ct Dublin Linen. I don't remember where i got the fabric from, I think Ebay. It is really thin and is pretty low quality. I am just gonna go ahead and finish it so I can be done with it. I really want to restitch onto nicer fabric.
