Cats Rule - New start

I really know I should be stitching one of my larger WIPS while I have no commission stitching but I fancied something small and portable so I started this last night.

Up on the Rooftops WIP - Tilton Crafts

I was lucky enough to buy this lovely chart late last year.  You can no longer buy this from Tilton Crafts

I would love to have this finished for Christmas this year but I'm not sure I will reach that target but you never know.

I started this on 30th October 2014 and to today this is where I have got to, after 85 hours of stitching, I have stitched it on 25ct Magic Guide Evenweave, my first time for a very long time stitching one thread over one square.

As you can see there is a long way to go on this one.

HAED - Gemini Update at 171 hours

It's been a long time since I stitched on my HAED Gemini, looking at my time sheet it was 5th December 2014, so today I plan to work on it, but because I had a little accident in January with my kitten, eating a needle, and nearly dying, if I had not see it in his mouth, I won't be using my PAKO with threaded needles.

I have just put this lovely on my new Needleneeds Millennium Frame bars, this is where I am today, let's see how I get on stitching with this this week.

HAED - Gemini Update at 142 hours

I've slowly been working on my HAED Gemini WIP, this is going to take a long time to complete at the rate I'm going, I've just got to 142 hours now and I've not completed a fifth of this lovely design.

I also need to post more on my blog too.

Celtic Spring at 68 hours

She's coming along now, I'm nearly there now, a few more hours to go, maybe 20 - 30 hours.

45 Hours on Celtic Spring

I have reached the possible half way mark now at 45 hours, Celtic Christmas (Noel) took me 90 hours to stitch.

I have now put this beauty up on my main large floor frame and I plan to do an hour a day this coming week as I have a work commission from the magazine on the go on my lapframe.

Hopefully she won't take me that long to complete now as most of the beads are done.

37 hours on Celtic Spring

I have done more on Celtic Spring since I took this photo at tea time yesterday.  But this was taken when I reached 37 hours.  I am now on the top rows, I will soon be half way and doing the dress section.

Keep watching, but I will slow down next week as I have some commission stitching coming in the post today.

34 Hours on Celtic Spring

Here is today's progress. I'm up to 34 hours now, I must be getting near half way now, I think once I reach the top I will be.

Today's update on Celtic Spring WIP

I've just thrown a pot of beads across the sofa so it's time to call it a night I think.

Here she is, I just wish I could take a decent photo to show it off properly.

Here is my Celtic Spring after more stitching and beading.  Total of 9 hours stitching.

Celtic Spring - New WIP

I have been missing beading a lot this week, strangely so I have decided to stitch another Celtic Lady, with just finishing Celtic Christmas.

So we have chosen Celtic Spring.  I ordered what I needed yesterday with Sew and So and as normal they have not let me down, by 11am this morning my goodies arrived.  So I just had to get started.

Here is my progress today.....

After 1 hour of stitching (above) with some beads on already.

After 2 hours of stitching (above)

After 3 hours of stitching (above)

I have now done another hour but the light isn't good enough for a picture tonight.  These lovely ladies are sooooo easy to stitch, the bit that takes the time is the beading.

I might just try another hour tonight and I plan to keep going this weekend too.

Happy Stitching
