My mojo is back!

I haven't updated in a while, I know, it's just that life got in the way of my stitching. I was supposed to move next week and that's not happening, I had my parents come over  for a visit a few weeks ago, and with being busy and the sad news about the move, I had lost my mojo. It's back though, so I've been stitching away.

Not much to show as I just got back to my rotations but I did get the Bird SAL cushion that my mother put together for me, and started work on something for my mother-in-law, who loves pastry. It's from Cross Stitch Gold 63, Cupcake. I got 3 done and 6 to go.

I've spent a bit of time on each of my bigger projects (Starry Night, QS Lovers and Sakura) the past couple of weeks, and will post updates when they're actually showing.

Sakura Geisha

I worked on her again this week, so for Leap Day I thought it was time to share where I'm at.

HAED Krystal

At the end of last year I started my second HAED project, Krystal, by Fred Winkler. I only put in a few stitches before I stopped to work on other smaller projects, including Abi Gurden's Tree of Stitches, that I gave to my mother for Christmas. 

But now those small projects are all completed, and so is the first page of QS Lovers, so I finally could go back to Krystal and finish my first page.  She's stitched on 25ct. white Lugana, 2x1 tent stitches.

HAED Freebie SAL 2012 - QS Lovers

I've finished page 1 of the HAED Freebie SAL. Now this goes away until April, when we receive the second page. This has been wonderful to stitch. I had a lot of fun with it!

Got a bit over half a page done now, and their faces are starting to show. I'm really enjoying this SAL. The way that HAED charts seem to make no sense at first, and all of a sudden the image appears on the pages, without any use of back stitching or quarter stitches, I think that's what makes people fall in love with stitching these HAEDs.

Sakura Geisha

I traveled to Brazil over the Holidays and put away all stitching for a few weeks, but I'm back to working on my Sakura, although the past weeks working on her weren't great, as I made a mistake that had me frogging a week's worth of stitching.

HAED Freebie SAL 2012 - QS Lovers

I'm officially back from my vacation, and although I arrived only a couple days ago I jumped right back into my stitching by starting the HAED SAL. I have about 1/3 of the first page done.
