Non HAED Update

Halloween Witches Go Riding Update.  I am going to continue to work on this NON HAED WIP for the Summer and hope it will be finished by Halloween 2012.  It is a very easy project for me, when I can work on in the car waiting, or at a picnic etc.  There is only nine colors so the transport of the project is very simple and it is easy to pick up and put down without losing my place.  So here is the update of the past two weeks.  Did seriously mess up the right side of this design - but I hate to FROG, so I just went with the flow and made some adjustments, and since the world knows I am SO NOT A PERFECTIONIST, this will do just fine.....it will just be a little lopsided....

Friday CrossStitch Update

  I am so excited to be on the last page of this SK. This is the first HAED I ever started, and I only have finished one which was an SAL back in 2009.  I can say I am on the last page - who cares if it is only three pages.  Right?  It is so tempting now not to keep working on it, but I have so many others  I want to work on also.

 SAL SK Forbidden Doorway.  Maybe, just maybe I will finish Page 1 - but I will have to work this weekend, so I will be missing out on several stitching hours.  I don't know why I am dragging my feet on this one. 

This upcoming week I will be working on 

   

May 6 CrossStitch Update

So this week I will be working on Forbidden Doorway.  The Freebie HAED SAL, and I am really happy because I love to work on this one.  This is the before.

I have no After of Tresures because I was so disappointed in my lack of time spent on it - it was no change.

So I wondered, what is up with that - why was it so difficult for me to stitch this past week, on a chart I LOVE - its a black and white, I have the perfect place for it, it is a Mermaid......  So what was my problem.  Simple it is the 25 ct fabric.  I am sure of it - I can't see it and I have to use a magnifer and I have not found a comfortable way to stitch on it.  What to do????  Well - it will work out I know, because I really love it too much to leave it UNFINISHED.  So I am on the search for a much better magnifier thing.  And I may just go to the eye drs and see if she can hook me up with better glasses, well just needlework glasses....  or something. 

In the meantime, after reading other blogs, I have started missing my NON HAED design wips.  So I am going to change some things up.  Not sure just how - but I am going to start working on more variety of projects.  I know if I keep the beads out - which I hate, and the fractional stitches - which I hate I think I will be just fine.  I do not mind the back stitching.  And for the designs I really love with beads, half the time you can leave the beads out and they look just fine to me.  And seriously, aren't I the one that matters here.

Mowed the lawn today - it was like a jungle out there...  but glad that is over.

Love Sunday nights.  Remind me of being a kid and family times, but now I am not watching Disney, or Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom - but I am watching a Fairy Tale....  Once Upon a Time.  So addicted that show, must be because after Mermaids, I think I love witches most.
