Friday Cross Stitch Update

This upcoming week, I will be joining the HAED themed SAL which is "Nautical".  This is last years Freebie SK SAL Treasures, I have almost finished pg 2 - my end of year goal is to finish pg3.  We will see, this is so difficult for me to see, it is on 25 ct 1 x1 full - but I have to use my mag glass, and it is just a pain, and takes me so much longer to stitch.  Also it is a adjustment with the tension, as the fabric is an evenweave, and it is not the same as stitching on aida or hardanger, HOWEVER with that being said, I just love her, and she already has the spot picked out for her completed work, so I really should finish this one.  You know I have a thing for Mermaids......

Last Week End As of 4/26/2012.  I have almost finished page 2 - next time, I am sure.  My goal for this year is to finish page and page 3. This is the most stitches I have ever put into one project.  Even the ones I have completed, I am sure had less stitches.

This is the day my cross stitch rotation will usually switch - so I have two pictures to post, my after of the last, and my before for the up and coming.
Please make a special note, Jessica Galbreth has retired this painting and the link I have provided to her website shows her  current, beautiful work.

I joined in the HAED's BB weekly SAL- which is those projects you have given up on.  The Silvery Moon was the first HAED chart I started, but I measured the fabric wrong and when I found out I may run out of room at the bottom to finish, I stopped working on it.  WELL ISN'T THAT JUST STUPID!!!!!  Seriously, I can finish her off at the very least the end of page 2 - I am almost there and see how much I want to go to page three.  It will be an awesome FINISH for me, even if it doesn't go the whole 3 pages - much better than sitting in a project box forever, unfinished - after all the hours I have already spent, she deserves to be displayed....
