I started a new project a few days ago. Here's the picture of it finished and one of what I have done so far. It has been a pain in the a**. Had to frog a few times and I'll be more than happy to have finished it! haha It would have that whole petal done, but, I ran out of a color. A friend is sending it to me, and, then I'll finish it. :-) Well I'm off to stitch on an ornie for an exchange. Enjoy!

Other projects:
I haven't had time to stitch on any of my other projects. Might stitch on one today, we'll see.

2007-02-01T01:54:00.000-05:00

I'm excited I get my phone tomorrow YAY! Ok well I'm going to post this picture and get to bed :-) Nighty Night!

Bubbles

Morning Rose

I haven't really been able to stitch much this week, due to being sick. I did manage to get a bit done tho. Here is pictures and progress of Morning Rose and Bubbles. I started Bubbles over today managed to get 100 stitches in.

I also got 100 stitches in on the Misty Dreamz model you can see pictures of it at White Tiger Cubs.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to get 100 stitches in on each of the projects, a little more on the model for SzuLet Creations so I can get it done and out of the way :-) I do have another model coming in from X's and Oh's neither one of these can be shown so have to wait til they are finished and I have clearance from the designers to post them. Ok well going to finish this post and head off to bed since I've been up 3 hours later than I wanted trying to get these projects worked on.

Morning Rose Day 1

2007-01-19T00:29:00.000-05:00

I FINALLY was able to get fabric for this project! And boy was I excited about getting it started :-) I decided to put a few stitches in it before bed (I'm up a lil later than I wanted to be LOL). And this project I'm TRIPLE checking the symbols before I stitch anything, so hopefully the colors will be right throughout the entire project! Hope everyone enjoys watching my progress, I plan on starting a rotation, I just haven't decided how I want to do it, any suggestions? :-)

I'm stitching this on 28ct Antique White 1 over 1.

2007-01-16T22:56:00.000-05:00

I didn't manage to stitch on all that I wanted to. Celestial Dragon is still sitting with my other stash LOL. Let's see how tomorrow goes!

WIPs

2007-01-16T03:06:00.000-05:00

Here are 2 WIPs that I have worked on today.

This is Tatty Teddy "Hugs" from Anchor. I started it a few months ago and decided to finish it a few days ago. The stitching is completely finished but the backstitching isn't even close! I hate backstitching and these designs have some of the most complicated backstitching LOL. He's still cute even w/o the backstitches! haha.

This is Sleeping Beauty by Mirabilia. I started it a few months ago and finally decided to pick it back up. I plan on stitching more on it after I work on Celestial Dragon by Teresa Wentzler tomorrow.

Update on Bubbles

2007-01-16T03:05:00.000-05:00

Ok I decided I'm not going to finish this LMAO, but I am starting it over, so stay in touch on updates! Just got to get new fabric. I'm also starting Morning Rose from HAED soon.

I need #8 Braid and I have Blending Filament! haha, so i'm probably gonna have to order some, none of the stores here have it. We'll its almost 3am here and my son is going to have me up at 8am with my luck, so goodnight!

280 stitches and it's time for bed :-) This is the first time in a long time I have actually enjoyed stitching. I'll definitely be working on this project while waiting for floss for the Model I'm currently doing. :-) I will probably even work in a rotation for both, with of course the model getting the most stitching so I can get it done ASAP and make this my main priority :-)
