Blog Update May

Image
This months page is taking me longer than normal due to all the knitting I've been doing!   I knitted a scarf for my mum for Mothers Day (see picture on knitting page).   I also won a chart giveaway!   I have been following Karen Mendoza from FT FT FT Stitch who is also stitching Nocturne.   In celebration of her blogs 4th Anniversary she had a giveaway.   You can check out her stitching blog here .   I’m sending out a big thanks to Karen for the patience and kindness she has shown:)  After much humming and arring I decided on Josephine Wall’s “Spirit of Flight” (see stitching stash page for picture).   I have been wanting to brave one of her charts for awhile now but the prospect of that much confetti had me considering it carefully!   I am really excited about the new charts I have lined up to start!   I have also just recently started the crop of Aimee Stuarts Treasure Hunt Bookshelf and will post some pictures of this soon.  ...

Umbrella Sky April Update

Image
Here is page 28 (I'm not going in order :) There are five pages left till the finish! It's 90.60% complete. I have done 200,061 stitches, but there are still 20,739 stitches left.... 

March Update

Image
Here is page 33 completed. Still another six pages to go...  Here is what the whole piece looks like!

February Update

Image
Here is page 27 completed. I am enjoying stitching the fabric of her dress. There are still another seven pages until the finish! Two of those are not very big, so fingers crossed won’t take long. I have been very tempted to start a new Dahlig pattern!  

Umbrella Sky, New Year Update

Image
Here is page 32!  Happy New Year :) 

Umbrella Sky, Christmas Update

Image
Here is page 31... I've skipped ahead a few pages to start the bottom row!  This means I am down to 9 pages till the finish!  Wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas and Holidays with family & friends :)

December Update

Image
Here is page 26 completed! For some reason the colors in the close up look all washed out.   The original photo doesn't look washed out :(   Gives you an idea anyway... It does look a bit abstract.  So just in case you were wondering what you were looking at, this section is of a fish jumping out of the water.   On that subject, I recently brought a goldfish and named him Rembrandt.  He is a very lively creature :)
