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.

Earthdancer-week 1 progress

I originally started this piece on New Year's Day as part of a new year, new start SAL with a group. However on Monday I realized I had cut my fabric wrong, there was no way to save it. Luckily I had a piece of fabric in the same color that was the proper size. Tuesday I restarted this piece. I am pleased with my progress.

This is Earthdancer-Butternut Road. Silkweaver's Fairyland 32 ct Wexford linen.

Next week is my HAED week. I am so looking forward to some progress on Drafonflies Whisper. She hasn't been out since summer.

WIPocalypse 2015-January

I'm Angie. I'm 38, married 15 years, with a nearly 5 yr old son. I stitch about 1-2 hours a day.mNow that my son is older I sometimes stitch evenings I don't work as well. I started stitching when I was 10ish, then took many years off until I was around 30.

Although I have participated in the past, I sat out last year. I am participating in WIPocalypse this year. You can learn all about WIPocalypse as well as sign up here.

My goals this year are to complete as many of the following as I can. Most of these will be new starts. I am proud to say missing from my list is Japanese garden, my chatelaine, which I finished. You can see pics a few entries back.

I stitch on a rotation. Currently one week Earthdancer, one week HAED, one week a small. As this first full moon came 5 days into the year the only one I have worked on is Earthdancer.
Here is my current progress. Stitched on Silkweaver's fairyland 32 ct. Wexford linen
 
 
Here is a list of my goals for the year.
 
 

Crabby all year-may-raise the roof (Rabbits). I am stitching each month separate.

 

Crabby all year-June-raise the roof ( bugs)


Night owl- mill hill kit (my first mill hill)

 

Earthdancer 50%-butternut road
