Magic Dragon 9.27.10

\

Finally starting to actually get my stitching mojo back and stitched this weekend.

Wow - long time no one here

I finally got back into stitching my fantasy stuff, guess I just needed to take a break.  I have a lot lined up and have been in a slump, but I am back.
Here is what I am currently working on mainly.  It is a Magic Dragon freebie from Charles Craft with their Stardust Aida, but I don't use aida very much anymore.  So I am stitching it on 32ct Opalescent white linen.  I am into bright colors right now.  LOL.

HAED Aurora's Garden

Yes, I am still stitching on her and haven't touched TW The Storyteller. Aurora's Garden needs to be done by the end of the month.

A Little more Impossible Love

1200 stitches down, 175,000 more to go :)..

Okay I finally started

Impossible Love by Selina Fenech from HAED. I got the first page gridded and a few stitches in, but it is a start. This is one of the first HAED's I ever got but I have always been nervous about starting it, not sure why. So here is the unimpressive start.

Okay Here is another Question for all the

Fantasy Stitchers.. Do you read fantasy or listen to the on Audiobook maybe. I am currently listening my way through Terry Brooks Landover series. I just recently finished my way through listening to the Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett (which I have read before).

So does you love of fantasy extend to reading material?

Fantasy stitching for 2010

Okay, I admit it, I got absolutely terrible about stitching fantasy goodies for me. Well over done, 2010 is the year of the fantasy. I got some beautiful HAED's for Christmas and I went through my stash and pulled out fantasy pictures I would love to do. So, off I go. I will start on New Years Eve. I am going to pull out one and start something NEW and FANTASY and then rotate through the fantasy goodies.

How about you?

HAED Dark Cherry

Okay, I had to restart this one early this summer, because I realized i didn't want to do it on 28ct over 1. I restarted it on 40ct linen over 2 and I am much happier. My stitches lay better and it is much neater overall. So now it is my focus piece. It doesn't look like to much yet, but the round spot is going to be the moon and the dark is her hair, LOL.

More Storyteller

I stitched about 10 hours on this today.

more HAED Fly Butterfly

I have been stitching away on HAED Fly Butterfly. I love the colors.

I keep forgetting

That Faeries are fantasy. I have 2 HAED projects going

This is a freebie Aurora's Garden



Yesterday they listed another freebie for Fairy Day! This is Fly, Butterfly. I love their charts and have bought a few. i also have a long wish list on their site LOL.

TW The Storyteller 6-22

I stitched a few more hours on this. Still have a long ways to go.

Last night's Storyteller progress

I worked on some more border and the corner piece. I was falling asleep stitching so I didn't get as much done as I wanted to.

Last Monday's progress

I stitched some more last Monday. I didn't post as I had pretty much given up on this blog lol. I guess I shouldn't be so naughty.

The saga of the dragon

Just in the last 3 days I've gone from here:

Then I thought, gosh let's redo how the chart is highlighted so we can right off spot the beading bits and ignore them. So I redid the chart (the beading parts are yellow, but I swear every time I went to stitch I picked a bit that needed beading.) I was working from and discovered I have a heck of a lot done:

So that motivated me to get even more done:


But I also discovered I'd stitched where there were supposed to be beads so we came to a screeching halt while I tried to pull out the offending corner


Now he's all ripped and fixed and all I need to do is get remotivated to work with blending filament.

more progress

Last night I stitched some more on TW The Storyteller.

getting more done

Monday night I stitched some more on The Storyteller. he is starting to move along now.

TW The Storyteller

Is anyone still stitching for this blog? I started stitching on this again with an online friend, on Mondays. I stitched a little bit last week and tonight for 2 hours.

I did some! I did some!

Lookie, I made progress on my Black Swan Dragon's Lair:

Some year I'll actually finish!

another Fantasy Friday

I managed to stitch for a few hours on Friday night. I did get another section done that was my goal.
