HAED Witching Hour update

I'm getting there slowly, but I must be half way now, this was on Monday 23rd May 2016, it has taken me 463 hours to get this far.

This below is where I was at last night, we have an eye!!!

 I would love to have this one finished this year but we shall see how we go on with it.  The colours are so cheeful, love it.

Witching Hour Progress

I managed 5 hours progress yesterday.

Witching Hour - HAED Update - possible challenge 2

Here is my witching hour update.

I wasn't going to enter the next HAED challenge, the cross country one as I already stitch cross country but not normally on colour across the page in one go. 

But I had completed my page a couple of weeks ago and thought I might do it. 

I would normally use the App Goodreader on my iPad, but I thought I would try again EZpdf app but, it's draining my battery and crashing a few times. I'm preserving with it because I so love the search feature for one symbol at a time. So hopefully no missed confetti stitch here and there. 

Do any of my readers use this app and have you had the same problems. 

HAED Witching Hour - 332 hours

I forgot to add an update on the 1st February on The Witching Hour, this was where I was at then at 332 hours of stitching, similar to HAED Gemini but a much quicker time scale as I only started this in August 2015 but I have been spending most of my time stitching on it.

I will add another update soon on this one.

Latest Witching Hour update

I thought I would put a picture of my latest update and the one before together on one picture.  So here we go, I'm now on 276.5 hours in total for the full bottom section.  As soon as I've stitched these last 3 pages I will take a full picture progress photo.  I'm currently on 10.5 hour for this page, I wonder if I will do it under 23 hours for the last page.

Bit of a while for an update on Witching Hour

I've been naughty and not updated my blog, so here is biggish update.

Here is my first bottom section completed in 193 hours.



I am a bit in now on the next row, below I'm at 229 hours stitching.



I've achieved a far bit today so I'll try and update tomorrow.

HAED - Witching Hour - 141 hours stitching

I'm hoping in the next week I'll get a bit more done on this as I was made redundant the other week so more stitching time for a little while.

I'm now on 141 hour stitching 4th section complete, 2 more to go and then we move upwards.

I have adapted my KS Creations floor stand as my NeedleNeeds on wasn't as sturdy to allow me to just pop my work on the stand.  This stand wouldn't take a 36" - 40" frame bars.

HAED - Witching Hour - 95.5 hours

Nearly another page done.

95.5 Hours of stitching

HAED - Witching Hour 64 hours - another page complete

Yay, another page complete, love stitching this, not too much confetti, but that's because I'm cross countrying it I think.  Can't swap it over, love it too much.

The Witching Hour - 52 Hours Stitched

The Witching Hour - 40 hours

I've carried on with the Witching Hour a little longer. Now at 40 hours stitching.

I'm going on to Cat Tales this week but I'm going to try and do an hour on this one a day too. 

HAED - Witching Hour - Full page and bottom full page finished

Yay, it's looking good now, especially from a distance, one full page and one full bottom page finished.  I'm now going to the next bottom page, I was going to rotate but wanted to stay on this a little longer.

29 hours of stitching

Witching Hour - 23.5 hours stitching

I was hoping to have this page finished tomorrow but I doubt I will manage it, I was going to rotate with something else.  I'll see how I get on tomorrow.

Witching Hour HAED - 17 hours of stitching

It's coming along, now at 17 hours and I've nearly done 1 and half pages, there is a long way to go and a year or so of stitching.

Witching Hour Update

Not a great update but it's coming along nicely, plenty of block stitching which makes it easier to get a head.

Now I'm on 11 hours in total stitching.

HAED - Witching Hour Regular

It has been a while since I posted on my blog, I must catch up with all my work in progress but it's my birthday today and for my present this year I decided to start the Witching Hour by HAED, I've loved this stitch for a while but kept saying NO, I have too many HAED's now on the got, well I ordered my threads from http://www.lakesideneedlecraft.co.uk/

If you are in the UK and want cheap DMC threads, this is the place to go, 41p each currently, fast turnaround and service, dependent on the Royal Mail.  I highly recommend.

I started stitching WH on Friday but didn't get as many hours in as I had hoped, finished the bottom half page yesterday and was going to do the full bottom section but I want to see more of the design so I've decided to go up and then I'll go along and down till the full section across is finished.

I started at the bottom for a change because most people that start this project start at the top left and down, but the face is in the middle so which ever way it'll be a while till I get there.

8 Hours Stitching So Far

I really must start a rotation of all my HAED's so they develop through the rest of the year so I'm hoping to work on this till Sunday and then switch to maybe Cat Tales SK.
