My first mill hill kit

This is my small rotation. I started something new this week as last month I finished Mr. Monster.

Can you believe this is my first mill hill kit? Although I have seen many I have liked, never did I like one enough to pay the price for one. When I saw this owl however...Well I had to have it.

 

I stitch in a frame that holds my snaps that hubby made for me. Perforated paer however doesn't fit in a snap, so I stitched this in hand. I think that is the reason why I like how it looks though I did not really enjoy the stitching. I hate stitching I hand. So my goal for next month is to find a way fit make this work in a frame.mi have an idea. Not sure though. I'll still finish this as I love the owl. If I can't find a way to make this work in a frame, this will be my only mill hill kit.

 

Anyone else not like mill hill kits as they don't like perforated paper?

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.

Small finish-Mr. Blue Monster

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.

HAED, It's been awhile

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.
