Celtic Summer Update


Here is Celtic Summer. I've accidental changed a colour but I like it. 

I'm also liking invisible thread because it saves time changing threads to the corresponding DMC. 

Slow going but I'm happy.

Before above. 

And below where I'm at.

FFO - Touching the Autumn Sky

I pushed myself and went to Bury on my own to pick some shopping up and my frame, fought through my anxiety. While poor Don goes to the emergency dentist to try and get his tooth pulled out. 

Look at this beauty, so chuffed I can't put it into words and I've got my tiny white feather in there that fluttered down from the sky a month ago today.  You may need to zoom in to see it in the bottom right corner.

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.

Touching The Autumn Sky Finished

After a gruelling 1.5 hours of beading with invisible thread, she is complete. She should be fully finished on Saturday.

I just need to stitch the year on her too.

Autumn Sky Update - OMG hate invisible thread.

OMG that invisible thread is a nightmare. I can't see it to thread my needle then where I have to stitch. 

That was heard work. Top beads done. Top part finished so not long now to the finish line. At 42 hours now I think.

Touching the Autumn Sky Upate

Just a quick update, Now on 39 hours. Still a bit to go yet.  Not managed that much stitching today as we went out to Bury Market today.

I'm having the frame made and it'll be ready next weekend for £22, bit dearer than I thought. Had a price of £28 for each of the Celtic ladies.
