Moving Right Along!

I’m still going on Challenge #2!  I've managed to keep up with the average of one colour a day and have now completed 50 colours in 50 days! I’m moving house very soon and there seems to be lots happening at the moment, so the stitching has been neglected a little.  With 25 days or so left and considering my average hopefully there will be no more than 75 colours!
Previous progress, 22 colours:

Current progress, 50 colours:

Hoping to be able to finish the Challenge soon, along with packing... Matisse (my cat) has been having the time of her life playing with all the boxes!   

Happy stitching xxx

    How pretty =) there surely is a lot of confetti in there, but that's what makes it even more beautiful when done, right? I am sure you will be able to finish the challenge in time. I at color 52 right now and I still have a long way to got ;-) but I think we can achieve a lot in 25 days ;-)

      Thank you Johanna. I was feeling very overwhelmed about the idea of potentially not finishing earlier today. All the moving house stuff is making me feel exhausted and stressed, which isn't helping! After tonight's stitchy session I'm at colour 55. I do appreciate your support and encouragement :) We do have 25 days to kick some challenge but lol ;)

    You can do it you've gotten so far! Of course it is a wall lol so there could be a hundred more colors in those few stitches you have left. Good luck moving and finishing the challenge!

Nocturne

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.

A Rainbow Checkerboard

Diagonal Challenge #1 There are six challenges to be posted on the Official HAED Facebook page this year. The first challenge involved stitching 1000 stitches in 10x10 diagonal blocks. I pulled out Rainbow Girl for this and it was nice to change things up and work differently to normal! A Game of Chess! I don't usually park but it made sense to do so when working in blocks.   Even though lines are not meant to form working diagonally, I still felt slightly apprehensive about the possibly of this happening.  I figured parking may lessen the risk by helping to even out the tension between squares. Before:  After: Although I kind of like the checkerboard effect, overall I didn’t take to this way of stitching and found it more time consuming than my usual preferred cross country method.  I didn’t enjoy being confined to working in blocks...  Having to stay in the box drove me crazy lol!  I did like the fact I wasn’t reaching for floss b...

Thread Bear

I’ve made a start on The Enchanted Manor by Josephine Wall. This one is being stitched on 14 count aida to boost the finished size of the crop.  I've never stitched on such a low count before and was curious to try it out! I’ve been working on this on and off over the past couple of months.  I'm using 4 over 1 full cross on dark colours and 3 over 1 full cross on everything else. Progress since December: I love it how Josephine painted a koala bear in the corner of this piece. The koala is native to Australia (my home country), which gives this piece a special resonance for me. Did you know that despite the fact they are often called Koala bears, Koalas aren't related to bears?! They are actually more closely related to kangaroos and wombats! They are often referred to as a koala bear because they have an obvious resemblance to a teddy bear… Currently I'm about halfway through the first page: Wishing everyone a safe and fun time over the Easter period ...
