Mixed bag of projects...

[blueghostgirl]

I am not sure I have posted here so here is a mixed bag of some of what I am stitching at present... I started Mermaid of the Pearls quite a while ago... She sat looking like this for a long time:


After tonight she now looks like this:


She is the most annoying mermaid to stitch. I am not sure why, but I am not enjoying stitching her as much as I did Waiting for Ships, or Mermaids of the Deep Blue. There isn't the same colour flow I think and so you are jumping here, there and everywhere with colours.

And here is an update on Lily - she is a very slowly progressing WIP simply because she may only get 20-40minutes every time I am at work:



Loving Fire Goddess. The ball of fire in her hand is gorgeous:



A little more of her skirt is done too


If you are at all interested I have a stitching blog too - found here: http://aflyingneedle.wordpress.com/



Thanks for looking!

So far the most complicated I've done are kits that were on 18 count aida which were 5x7, so I'm more daunted by anything on a higher count and on non-aida fabric. I haven't even completed anything larger than 5x7, though I am currently working on one, which is on 14 count aida.

I do have a kit that does require you to work on 28 count linen, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to that. Plus I need to work out how to use my scroll frame since I dislike using hoops.

Fire Goddess is on the equivalent of 14ct, and could easily be stitched on 14ct, I just chose to stitch her on evenweave, and the other two are on the equivalent of 16ct. I know the size is daunting, but it isn't solid stitching, which sometimes the smaller patterns are :D

Then I guess I'll just wait until I have a job so I can actually buy patterns and pattern books. >.>

(I still get money from my mother until I get a job and I'm saving that money for various things I've pre-ordered from Amazon plus I have enough kits to keep me busy for a while.)
