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.

Week Beginning - this is the UFO week, I am working on my QS Tomboy,it is one of my 2012 goals and I have been working on it for over a year now and not even one page done  She is 1 over 1  full crosses 22 ct Hardanger  Selina  Fenech Artist

Week Ending After picture - SAL Freebie SK Forbidden Doorway This is 2 over 1 full crosses on 1 ct aida Meredith Dillman - Artist This link takes you to the artist site and this full size picture, It was cropped for the Freebie SAL to be a SK size.  Please see Heaven And Earth Designs for more info,

These are both great for me, because I do not need help with the seeing - no mag glass.  It is awkward for me to use one.  Treasures on 25 - is hard, and Northern Lights on 28 hard - I may do a restart for Northern Lights - I really want to finish that project but the fabric count is holding me back
