Faerie Bride HAED & Wedding Sampler

I have updates of Faerie Bride and the Wedding sampler to share with you all. Forgive the bad photos. I didn't realize how bad they were until I got them on my computer. I will do better next time promise.
Here's Faerie Bride (HAED). I am hating the confetti on this one, dunno why it's different from other confetti but I really don't like it. So having to force myself to get through it. Thankfully I think I"m past the worst of it for a bit. To date:

The other piece I've worked on a lot more (and it's quick to stitch) is the Big Toe Designs Wedding Sampler for my friends. I'm liking this one alot, it's quick and easy. But it's also on a gorgeous linen with silks. This picture does not do it justice unfortuantely, but here it is regardless:

I had a breakthrough on my canvas piece that I was really struggling with last night. So an update of that coming up.
Also last weekend I taught myself to do odd-count peyote stitch, but none of my photos of the little practice bracelet turned out (all blurry) so I'll get B/F to take a pic with the fancy camera for next time. Up on the agenda is to learn even-count peyote stitch, I'm struggling with the turn around, so any tips would be appreciated!
(I know as if I needed more different crafts to do, but what can you do) :)

Teaser: My birthday is coming up near the end of Feb. So watch for another blog giveaway later this month. It will be multiple different packages to win again as that seems to be the post popular, smaller packages but more winners! :)

Happy Stitching!

Wedding Sampler & Santa Updates

Last weekend was a 12hr stitch at my LNS. I couldn't seem to stay on one project for long that day but did get some progress on my canvaswork and some great progress on the wedding piece for my friends.
I was lazy and didn't take it off the scrollbars... forgive me. It's stitching up quite quick which is nice. Here it is to date:

I have also been picking up my Mill Hill Santa when it's later at night or I'm just tired.
It's so nice to have one project that is simple, especially when I'm fighting with learning canvas.
Here is the Santa to date:

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Dragons Update

Since Christmas I have been cruising with stitching Judgement Dragons.
I'm quite pleased with how much I got done between Christmas and New Years (when I was off work). If only I could always have that much time! ;)

Here is dragons so far in it's entirety:

And a snapshot of the page I am working on. I'd say it's more than 1/2 done.

 

Thanks for all your comments on Cronus. The vet has told us that if he hadn't told her about his weird behavior (which consists of tapping his head on the glass and flipping on his back and trying to move) she would think he was fine. So it may just be that he was dropped on his head as an egg or something. Figures that I pick out the retarded snake. We've got a few tests to do and we'll see if anything comes of that. But likely he's just a weirdo.


Hope everyone is staying warm. We have a snowfall warning here for tonight and tomorrow. So I'm hoping that I can still get to my 12-hr stitch at my LNS. *fingers crossed*
