Don't worry. It's just a Country Cottage Needleworks ornament I finally started. I've had this kitted up forever. It's been a fun, easy stitch so far.
Here is where I left off until it's up next in my rotation. I believe this is a piece of 28 ct. Evenweave, that I dyed in coffee.
I finished this 2 nights ago. I love how it turned out. It's spider's garden from the Halloween 2012 issue of JCS. You'll notice I did slightly change it. I left out the silver beads. I thought they took away from the web. Otherwise I stitched this as charted on 28 ct.evenweave that I hand dyed.
Speaking of Halloween, guess what I finally have finish finished? 6 bats. You can't tell here but the background fabric is spider webs. A tiny bit of the glue is showing on that right side and I'm okay with the lack of perfection.
I apparently forgot to share this. The top row of my HAED is done. I am so pleased with how it looks. I started the second row yesterday. I'm so happy with how it is looking.
I do my HAEDs tent stitch. Some people will say that isn't really stitching, or whatever but I don't care what they think or say. I like the coverage of tent on the 22 ct fabric and from looking distance you can't even tell.
Another half page and I'll be at my goal for the year. Yay.
I did it. I just finished another page on my HAED. I'm so close to finishing the top row. The last page is only one column. I'm so excited and pleased with how it looks.
Dragonflies whisper, Kuik. 22 count.
Close up of the latest page
Those pesky flowers look awesome. They took nearly an entire week to stitch. They were solid confetti.
Earthdancer finally has a face. I'm quite excited and pleased with how it looks. This also Is the entire first page,many a tiny part of page 2. I have not added back stitching, specialty thread, or beads. I'll do all that at the end.

I am in a confetti heavy area in my HAED. I did not get the page finish I wanted. That is okay though. I made progress and that is what counts.

I finally got back to stitching after about a month. I can't wait for April to be over, exactly 2 weeks after my pap died, my father in law died.
On a brighter note, I finished my first mill hill kit. I didn't really like the perforated paper, but I did enjoy stitching this, and especially adding the beads. Next time I think I will stitch it on evenweave.
Anyone who has stitched this or has this will notice that I left out the background mountain and stuff at the bottom right. I simply disliked it and felt it took away from the owl. The kit was also missing one color the brown, which I disliked the color so I picked my own brown.
I worked a bit on Earthdancer as well. I was able to stitch the wisp Of hair and the feathers at the top of her head.mnext time I hope to complete her face.
My pap died on good Friday. My mom, brother, aunt, uncle, and cousins all met in Pa. Last Tuesday. The funeral was a week ago today. It was unbearably heart wrenching.
I don't really have anything else to say about it right now. It's too hard.
I completed the hair on Earthdancer this week. I'm quite pleased with it. Wow what a lot of hair. Next time I hope to fill in most of the remaining stitches on this page.
Up next week though is Dragonflies whisper. Yay. I can't wait.
I've made good progress in the past month with my 3 current WIPs.
dragonflies whisper, my HAED is coming along great.

Last up is a new small. Last month I finished mr. Monster, this month I started my first mill hill kit- night owl. I'm not sure I like the perforated paper. I hate stitching in hand.
Also I finished up mr. Monster. My son picked the finish. I wanted to add a bow to hide the seam but he didn't so...
Don't mind the pink hook. It won't come off the door without tearing the door.
Question of month. If money weren't an object what would be on your stitching bucket list.
I would have all the chatelaines if money weren't an object. I am in love with them.
Last week was my favorite project to stitch lately. Dragonflies whisper, my HAED. I am getting close to another page finish. Then I have a page this is a single column wide. That is it for the top row. I can't wait to start the second row, that is where things really take off.
Here is my where I left off last time,
Here is where I left off after a great stitching week.
As you can see I am off a half row somewhere. I will make it up in the next column and all will look fine.
I stitched Earthdancer last week. I didn't get as much done as I would have liked. Not bad for only 3 days stitching. I still love this piece.
I got a lot stitched since the last check in. I even had my first finish.
As of last month this is where I was on Earthdancer. 32 ct Silkweaver's fairyland Wexford linen.
This is where I am now-
In my small rotation I stitched Mr, Blue Monster, 28 ct. Mystery eve weave. This was a fast, fun stitch. It's mosey n me from the 2012 Halloween collector issue. I did change a few of the threads.
I said I was going to start a Mill Hill kit this week. However when I went to separate the floss out, I was missing a color. A few of the colors were so close, I am not even 100% sure which I am missing. So I went through my kitted and waiting projects. That's when I came across Mr. Blue Monster. I was able to start and finish this in 5 days.
I stitched this mostly as charted on 27 ct mystery fabric. This chart is from the 2012 Halloween collectors issue of JCS. It's a mosey 'n me pattern.
I was so excited to work on my HAED this week. I forgot just how much I enjoy stitching this pattern. This hasn't seen the light of day since summer.
I finished the fourth page and moved into page 5.
At the start of the week.
At the end of the week.
Next week is my smalls week. I have a mill hill kit ready to start. It will be my first one.
