Hi Stunners!!!
Happy Halloween to you all. I hope you have a ghoully, ghostly and witchy time! I'm stuck at work tonight dressed as Morticia with a Princess twist (namely pink bling shoes, and metallic pink eyelashes - Hee hee!) I just couldn't do the full black.
Thank you to everyone that left a comment on my previous post. I wanted to reply to you all but when I sat down at the computer to send reply emails they were all gone! Not sure what happened there. I just wanted to let you all know that I appreciated all of your kind, funny and awesome comments. You guys so rock!
Ok onward to the stitching!
Here is how I have been spending the latter half of October. I needed to complete page 3 of Guardian Angel for a HAED yearly goal. And I did it!!! Woo hoo. I'm using bling thread Petite Treasure Braid PB23 in lieu of DMC B5200 on the Angels wings to give them a little bit of heavenly sparkles...

And here is my SAL piece that Kim and I are completing, the beautiful Rose Cerise by Karen Middleton (HAED). Kim is starting from the top left and I'm coming from the other end.

The before pic was taken with my old camera that's why there is such a marked difference between the two, and what a difference 10 pixels make! I love working on Rose! I'm stitching her using Victoria Clayton's HDF thread. Stitching with silk thread is absolutely brilliant. It just glides through, no thread heaven required and the stitches just sit so neatly on top of each other.
This week I will be working on the freebie SAL piece from HAED. I will get that damn first never ending page finished if it's the last thing I do!!!!!

Was delighted to see your blog on my to read list. Lovely progress on all your projects. Well done on the page finish of Angel, the sparkly thread is so pretty. Hope you had a great Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy when the never ending first page was done on the SAL piece =D The last stitches just took ages ;-) I hope you'll be done with the page soon, I continued with page 3 because it's less confetti and seeing actual progress motivates me ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love your work on Guardian, the wings look fantastic and I am looking forward to see the angel appear =)
Great work on your SAL with Kim, it's such a beautiful design =)
Pink Morticia?!! Whatever next?
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on the HAEDs, love the splash of red.
Wow - they all look soooo nice! I love Guardian Angel - started him juuuuust barely once! Someday I'll get back to him. I have Rose Cerise in my stash so I'm really enjoying watching her grow! Great progress on your BB SAL piece, too!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an insane amount of progress, they're looking fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work!
ReplyDeleteYour Guardian Angel looks awesome and I can't believe my luck - I'm stitching him too and we can have SAL going. I haven pick up my Angel for a while but will start stitching him again this weekend.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work. Keep on going.
ReplyDeleteLove, Babs
