sorry!

I know it's been too long since I posted. We've been having some personal issues that were taking up a lot of my time. All better now!

Here's some updates:

Steam Punk Fairy - Finshed page 2 and started page 3:


Butterflies Galore Storykeep - Started - About 2,000 stitches in:


I plan to stitch on the storykeep until I finish it. I shouldn't have started another one, but I couldn't help it. LOL

Happy Stitching!

Determined

I'm determined to finish something! I worked again on Steam Punk Fairy last night. I also stitched a bit on Rainbow Mermaid at work yesterday. (Don't tell the boss LOL)

Here's the latest pic of Steam Punk:


I'll probably work on one of the full size charts over the weekend, most likely Shannon or Life Force.

Still waiting on DH's echo results. I think not knowing what's going on is more stressful than anything.

No Pics Today :(

I worked on Steam Punk Fairy last night and got almost another column of 10 done on page two. I decided that I didn't like the way the parking was making my stitches come out on the 18ct. It seems bunchy and like the stitches weren't as neat. So from now on, no parking on 18ct with two threads. I didn't have time this morning to take a picture so that will have to wait until tomorrow. Oh, and on Tues night I hardly stitched at all. I just wasn't feeling very well.

Today is DH's echocardiogram so any prayers are well appreciated.

Blah

Still feeling sick. I'm sure not going to let that stop me from stitching though! I worked on Steam Punk Fairy last night, starting to incorporate the parking method. It went pretty well. Because I didn't have the surface area that the scroll frame provides I didn't leave the needle threaded. I just threaded each needle as I went. This took a little more time than I wanted. I'm looking into the spiral eye needles that you can thread quickly. Here's a link to their site: Spiral Eye Needles. I'll let you know what I find out about where to get them and such. Without further ado here's my progress on Steam Punk:

Steaming Right Along

Got a bunch done on Steam Punk Fairy last night. It really seems to go faster when I'm stitching on the 18ct vs. the 28ct over one. I'm probably doing the same amount of stitches, just the result covers such a bigger area that it feels like more.

Here is my progress as of last night:


I need to work on one of my full size charts tonight, probably one of the Alice ones. We'll see.

Have a great day!

Finally got a good bit of stitching done last night. I worked on Rainbow Mermaid and got about 600 stitches in. I thought I'd post some pictures for you viewing pleasure.
