Well this is the first post for two weeks. Last week I was away for a few days and the cottage we were staying in just didn't lend itself to stitching. I couldn't find a comfy position to sit in and stitch and the lighting was awful so I didn't do more than a couple of stitches all week.
This week I decided I didn't have enough projects on the go and added another medium project and a small project.
The medium project is a Christmas Stocking for my little boy. This is a picture of the final product.
And this is the progress I have made on it this week.
I decided I wanted something quite simple to work on as I want my son to have it for Christmas 2011 and if I did a HAED stocking he would probably be 18 before it was finished!! My intention is to do stockings for myself and my husband as well when I have finished this one. These will be HAEDs though, I want Cherished Christmas Stocking and I am going to do the Treasure Dragon Stocking for my husband. If I get all these three done then I may at some point in the future do the Faithful Friends Stocking for my son.
I have also tried gridding for the first time with Sulky Metallic threads, will see how it goes before I try gridding one of my BAPs with it.
The second small project I am working on is a birthday card for my niece. She is 5 at the end of October so I have just over 3 weeks to get this done. Hopefully my son will let me get some stitching done during the day so I can achieve this.
I have also this week fallen in love with this Amazing Color by Needle Delight Originals. There are lots of amazing designs but this is my current favourite. It is so different from anything I have stitched before or have in my stash. I have been restraining myself very hard so I don't buy it. Really want to get a finish before I buy or start anything new.
