Another Diamond Painting Day

Colette (My Mum), Laura (Sister) and I had another diamond painting day the other week.  This gave me a chance to get stuck into the next page of Spirit of Flight. I have to work this top page upside down due to the size.  I've been changing orientation depending on the page location.  There is lots of confetti on this next page!:

On the day, we took an overall picture of Spirit of Flight,  putting it into perspective how big it will be and how much is left to complete!  My Dad is helping hold it and the photo credit goes to Colette!

We're planning another diamond painting day once Laura has time off work for Maternity Leave!

Dandelion Skies


The Butterfly for October is the Dandelion Skies Butterfly.  I wanted to give this months butterfly a bit of a Halloween theme with the colour palette.

    That diamond painting is going to be huge Megan. And looks stunning. I can imagine you have to work all around it. I don't think you could leave it haning on the table side?
    Enjoy your work. It looks gorgeous

      Thank you Nastascha... Yes! I have worked sideways as well as upside down lol! The undone half is currently rolled up on a long tube. The completed part takes up my whole kitchen table, so once I've finished this column i will switch it round and roll the completed part onto the tube first. I didn't want the completed section dangling over the side of the table as the bend is too sharp. I would say this would most likely cause permanent creasing or diamonds popping off! The sharp bend of the table edge is different to the gradual, gentler roll on the tube. For storage purposes, the whole piece can be rolled onto the tube with diamonds facing outwards and there are no issues with that :D

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.

In the Spirit of Diamond Painting

Image
Spirit of Flight I've finished page 17 of my Spirit of Flight Diamond Painting. Now there is one more partial page left till the column finish.  I had a little help from my friend Cathy on a small section of this page! She did the blue section on the left side (Thanks Cathy ;) ): Cute Pens Awhile back I got my Mum and Sister into Diamond Painting.  They are still working on their projects, although we haven't had a chance to get together and do another Diamond Painting Day yet.... For fun Mum brought us all a special diamond painting pen.  There are a whole lot of cute little cartoon type styles available!  I haven't had a chance to test mine out properly until recently... Anyway, it is very comfortable to hold and has a softer more "cushioned" feel than the pink pens.   Diamond Painting Pen: Last Progress Update: Current Progress:      Happy Stitching & Diamond Painting! xxx

100 Days of HAED

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.  Some stitchers are opting to work on the same piece for 100 days.  There is so much confetti in Treasure Hunt that I need to break it up by switchi
