I’ve been on holidays for the last week so that means I have had lots of time to get some stitching in. Added to the previous week where I actually took time of an evening to do some stitching – not something I have done much of for a while. I’ve started picking up a project on Sunday and working on it for a week, so I have progress on two WIPs to share.
First up is Pumpkin Pixie. I got a stack done on her – mostly trees and background though. I had to leave the very light colours of an evening because they were so hard on the eyes which is why so much of the dark tree was stitched on the next page without the first one being finished. The photo is not the best but it shows what I’ve done.
And to show just how much I got done in one week (ok, there was a sunday, anzac day and a good part of saturday put into this), I’ve added a photo of the chart pages to photobucket. The dark green is all I did last week.
Then last Sunday I started Blackstone Garden. I really wanted to do it on fabric I already had rather than buy more in – especially as I had bought some of Vikki’s linen for it but those two just didn’t work. So I went for Pansy (see previous post). It’s 28ct, so the crosses seem very large and it was strange stitching such large crosses after a week of 28ct over one, but it was also a nice break on the eyes. I had to stitch some of it more than once since I apparently forgot how to count but I had great fun working on it. Here it is after a week of work on it. If you want to see the colours a little better, I have a close-up of earlier in the week too.
