Nearly a year of work completed! When I don’t write, I stitch!

All patterns from fancyfoxglove on Etsy. I love these patterns.

Almost finished, just have to do all the detail work. Final backstitching and details are my favourite part of an embroidery because it pulls a whole picture together.

Final stitching session for The Dream. I'll still work on it, but it won't be my main for September. I'm going to try to dedicate this month to some other projects that I haven't touched in months.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is coming out at the end of October and I probably won't stitch that much during November and December, so I want to work on some other projectd and catch up with a blackwork SAL.

Update on my progess of MIYAStitch's The Dream. 40% done and 16.015 stitches left!

My current plan is to finish the door, work on the door's backstitch and then finish the landscape and the girl.

Reblogging to remember to check StitchBySoul's shop. I can't find the patterns either, but there are some other patterns there calling my name.

Haven't posted my some my more recent cross stitch projects so here we go:

From Stitch By Soul on Etsy. Tried to find a link for it but it looks like its not available at this time.

I really liked the colors in this one. Though there were alot of stitches which used two colors which to me is annoying (even though it does look good)

Made this little guy for a coworker of mine who got hired to be a fire fighter

Also from StitchbySoul on Etsy but the link I have for this one isn't working either.

Further to a conversation with a friend, just posting this tip: if you're using an embroidery hoop, put your work into it so that the front is contained in the depth of the hoop and the back is the exposed side, not the other way around. It looks counterintuitive, I know, but it's so much easier to fasten off your ends on the back when the sides of the hoop can't get in the way of your needle or fingers.

Halfway there !

Wip - Mandala of the sun, Alessandra Adelaide

Mybobbin, I beg you, give me a filter so only SAGA or PK compatible patterns show up.

Finally got Aurora framed! I took her to a professional, she’s deserves it but that was so expensive

Now I’ve got her hung in the hall where she’ll be safe from the sun and she stops me in my tracks every time I walk by

There’s my giiiirl

Two updates today, because I have also done a lot of stitching on this one.

She's less bald. Still lacking arms, but I'm getting there, I swear! I just want to finish the hair and face (backstitch included) before working on the rest of the body.

I'm trying to be good and not start more projects (I have like 7 active ones), but Soda Stitch also has this cute mermaids and I know the perfect fabric to use for them, >.<

There's finally enough progress in this project that I can share it. It was just a bunch of random green stitches until now.

The pattern is by MIYA Stitch and it's called The Dream. It's a girl sitting on a hobbit hole while watching the sun set/rise and as a certified Legomancer I just HAD to stitch it, lol.

You can see the girls hat, it's the bright brown on the bottom right.

It's full coverage and also my first project on 32ct (lugana, ofc, I'm still afraid of linen).

Me whenever I'm checking a new designer and they have gnome patterns

Former UFO recently resurrected into a WIP.

This is after one month of consistent new work.

I really happy with the progress I've made.

I also intend my next several projects to be significantly less complicated than this one. I'm liking the result, but wow was I an overconfident pre-teen picking out this project and not listening at all about it maybe being too much to take on.

[stitching-away]

Bad news: It looks like I made a mistake at some point in one of my WIPs and now is way to late to find it.

Good news? Except for like 200-250 stitches that I'll have to frog, the rest is background colour done on half stitch using one thread, which means that I can just stitch over it and it won't be noticiable.

I have finally stopped procrastinating and pre-cut the Aida 16 fabric that I have been using in some of my projects.

Most of it has been cut to fit 100x100 circle patterns ("circle patterns", let's be real, it's for Stitch It Picasso patterns, lol)

I'm not sure if I'll keep using Aida once I finish the one I have, though. I have started to use Lugana (28ct and 32ct) and it's so nice, prettiest crosses I have ever stitched.

Progress!
