IHSW and weekly update

Hi all so this is the first IHSW of the year. Unfortunately i never took a picture on thursday night to show what it was like, but i have included what it looked like last sunday(15th) before i started it, and what it looked like last night(22nd - sunday evening).

2012 HAED GOALS

So I have finally decided on my haed goals, it may not be a lot , but that is more due to me starting new projects.My unofficial goals are to complete these three pieces ( if i can resist some new starts - doubtful) the official goals are...

1. finish 2012 SAL (tent) - as it stands now

2. Finish 50% of train of dreams ( full x ) - as it stands now (just over 18%)

3. To finish 50% of mini - bed of clouds(tent) - as it stands from last night ( 10%)

here is hoping to a good year

train of dreams

Hi all i have been working on Train of dreams for the past two weeks, and i am hoping after the IHSW this weekend that i will have my 1/2 yearly goals done. ( need another 2759 stitches done to complete the goal).

So over the past 2 weeks i have done 6588, which isnt bad since the first week i didn't stitch for half of it.

As stated i am doing this for the IHSW so i will post an after pic on monday for you all to see.

Thought i est update on here about how the designs will look like when they are finished.

train of your dreams

butterfly wood

my wip

ok so i have finally managed to take pictures of my two WIP. Both are HAED designs.

Train of dreams started 31st december 2010. Almost got pages 1 and 2 finished (as you can see still a few stitches to put in)

Butterfly wood started 31st december 2010. Still on page 1, with quite a bit to go as you can see - i really should get stuck into this one more, but due to being on "white" colours i give up after only a small amount of time on it.Once i get onto the butterflies, or darker colours i am sure it will go quicker.

Both of these are on 25 count, one over one fabric. This is the first time ever using this as previously my smallest fabric was 18 count. I am however loving doing these, and i doubt i will go back to other larger fabrics.

Hope you like these, untill next time
