Back at it.....

First off...I'd like to say a big hello and welcome to the new followers!  If I reach 100 I think it may be time for another giveaway to celebrate!

I've finally gotten back to stitching and I've a few updates to share!  I picked up Mini Starlight - Linda Ravenscroft (HAED).  It's been a long while and she's been a bit neglected but this year she's going to get a bit of love!

Not loads done, but a little progress and anything is a step towards that finishing line.

The Three Fates - Jasmine Becket-Griffith has also been out to play:

Last up, I've not been stitching on the Saturday SAL as there have been the "Crazy Challenges" in tribute to Debbie, who very sadly passed away last year.  However, I caved last weekend and pulled out Candy Cane Christmas!

I've dropped off Pyramid 4 with the framer so hopefully I should have it back in the next couple of weeks.  I really love the frame we've gone with and I really hope it work well.  To say I'm nervous leaving my stitching with a framer I've not used before would be an understatement, however we chatted and I'm confident that he will do a good job!  I can't wait to be able to share it with you!

IHSW - August 2014

This is my progress for the International Hermit and Stitch Weekend!

Before

After

Not tons, but a decent amount and at least you can see a difference!  I'm planning to carry on stitching it week as I'm enjoying it!

Looking forward to catching up with everyone else's weekend stitching!

Ok....I admit defeat, the rotation that I had planned at the beginning of the year has fallen by the wayside.  I'm not really worried about it as the main thing is that I am enjoying my stitching and that is the most important thing to me.  I've finished all the "obligation stitching" (i.e. stuff as gifts/for other people) so I am perfectly free to stitch what I want!

I've started and completed Messenger - Firewing Designs, stitched on Crafty Kitten's July 2012 Limited Edition fabric (28ct Jazlyn).  It is the most lovely blend of pinks, oranges and yellows.

Other than Messenger, I've mainly stitched on The Three Fates by Jasmine Becket-Griffith (HAED)

This was where I left it last time:

This is where I am up to now:

I've made it to the other side of chart and it's starting to look like something!  

I've also decided on a new start and although I don't have any pictures to show you as yet , this is what I've made a start on:

It's Mini Starlight - Linda Ravenscroft (HAED).  I love unicorns and I really wanted to stitch one, I also wanted to stitch a Linda Ravenscroft chart so this is a perfect choice!

Also I need to say HUGE thank you to Alicia - The Crafty Princess for gifting me this lovely chart out of blue!

It's another HAED chart called Midnight Rose - Bente Schlick and it absolutely gorgeous!  I can't wait to get the thread together to make a start on it!

I'm still behind on the blog reading, but I am catching up so you may find some comments on posts from a while back!
