So...I got my project finished. Even finished in time to give as a winter festival gift to its intended recepient. I even remembered to take a photo of it! And then flickr broke itself for a bit leaving me unable to post/share photos. It's slightly less broken now. So I can finally share my completed project. Yay?!

So much for posting regular updates to keep me motivated, I keep forgetting to take photos. I really thought I had more photos from the intervening period that I just hadn't taken off my camera but nope, I haven't, so its a bit of a jump from my last post to this one...

progress has been made, honest! )

The last time I had a big cross-stich project to work on the regular weekly progress posts kept me motivated. So, as I've just started a project that I want finished by silly season, I thought I'd take up regular posting again to keep me working.

Thought I'd post an update on my latest needlework project: Ink Circles' Pot Luck.

It's on 28 ct Sand Cashel using Gloriana's Topiary.

I did a chunk of this on Sunday, hence the subject line.

I'm cross-stitching some towels for a friend's wedding present. I'm dithering however, about some design choices, and how they interact with time's endless forward march.

boring backstory )

here are the pictures of the work in progress )

more blah blah blahing; opinions desired! )

Mermaid of the Pearls is progressing, if very slowly. I am up to the point where I can start to see progress, and that she is actually looking more like she should.

I have spent a portion of tonight colour coding my working copies. White is now mostly coloured in on the top half of the pattern. It does make the pattern easier to read, I think.

Most of her skin is done. Now it is filling in the sparklies around it. I pulled out my thread heaven, which I think will help immensely!

I've been working for about two and a half weeks on Midsummer Night's Fairy. She's starting to actually look almost like something now. The curve is where her knee bends and the purple is a sash.

Back here! )

I started working on Mirabilia's Midsummer Night's Fairy a week ago Monday. It's the second Mirabilia I've ever done (The first was the Halloween Fairy and only took a week or two), and it's much different than most of my work over the last couple of years. When I was doing mostly Dimensions Kits, however, I always liked doing projects with a lot of swooping, draping material. I love watching random blotches of colour resolve themselves into shapes and shadows. I'm stitching her 2-over-2 on 32-count Belfast linen in a colour called Confederate Grey.

There's a picture of what I've got done back here. )

Hello! I'm new to this comm so I thought I'd share the huge dragon wip I'm currently working on! Apologies for the not-so-awesome camera quality!

I've still got a way to go with this one - I've been working on and (mostly off) on this during my first two years of uni and I'm making one last crack at it in the few weeks before I go back. The design is about 13 inches high and 25 inches wide and was kit-bought. This is the first properly huge design I've ever done as well, so it was a bit daunting to start off! No pics from when I first started this I'm afraid as I lacked a camera at that time!

cut for pictures! )

progress as of 5/9/10


Thank you for looking!

This year has been my most productive year in a LONG time... maybe ever. I'm hoping to continue that productivity within the new year.

A little over halfway done with the back-stitching I think. Haven't had nearly as much time or motivation to work on it lately, but I've given myself a deadline so hopefully I'll get moving again shortly. Click the thumbnail for the full-size picture.

Okay, still have a ton of back-stitch, but the cross-stitch is DONE! )
