I'm excited to say im a third of the way through! Can't wait to start the next page. Here are some pictures taken with a proper camera- she is the right way round!
Nocturne It's been a long time since Nocturne has seen the light of day! This project was one of the three pieces with the highest amount of votes, when everyone voted for the projects they wanted to see more progress on. I really wanted to complete page 8 for this blog but I'm only about halfway through. The chart I'm working on is the old version. After discovering the art was re-charted, I put the wip aside for awhile to decide whether or not to restart with the newer chart. I've decided to continue working on the original chart though. I've already restarted this one before and don't have the heart to restart it again, especially since quite a decent amount has been completed. Anyway, the newer chart may blend better and have more depth but I still think the original is pretty! They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

25 Days of Treasure Hunt I've fallen way behind with my yearly stitching goals... So when a post for the 100 HAED Challenge came up on my Facebook feed it sounded like the perfect way to get motivated again and catch up! I've sort of been avoiding my Treasure Hunt crop because it was getting slightly tedious with all that confetti. The aim of this challenge is to stitch everyday though and that has certainly helped progress. I'm going to share the first twenty-five days now! Treasure Hunt Bookshelf by Aimee Stewart (Cropped Version) Reminder: Last Update: Progress Before start of Challenge (Challenge Day 0): Progress on Day 10 of Challenge Progress on Day 20 of Challenge; Progress on Day 25 of Challenge: Whole Piece to Date at 64.55% Complete: I'll be switching wips every 25 days for this Challenge.

Robber Bridegroom Update I've picked up Robber Bridegroom by Rachel Marks, it's the Heaven and Earth Designs regular chart. Here is a reminder of the chart mock-up: The last time I was working on this was for a challenge. I skipped the edge page because it did not have enough stitches qualify for the challenge. This is because I've cropped some of the black stitching around the edges of the chart as well as adding metallic threads. Here is where it was at last time I worked on it last: Now I have backtracked to finish the page I missed! This one always seems to want to be pulled out and worked on around Halloween. This is being tented with various strand amounts on bellana fabric: Happy Halloween! Happy Stitching xxx
