Finally Some New Colors!

I'm sure this is going to be a theme but I'm finally getting to stitch with some new colors on Paradise.  I got my first stitch of lilac on the mountains and my next set of pages will see the last of the yellows and most of the oranges (possibly all of them but I didn't double check).

I also reached the exact half of the pattern but since I still have another page to go im not halfway yet stitchcount-wise.    I'm close though!  The pages I'm stitching now actually go about 15 stitches past the halfway mark.

I feel I've made good progress though since last week :). In order to finish before the end of the year I have to do approximately 1,600 stitches a week or 230 stitches a day.  This week I've done around 2,300-2,400 and I have all day tomorrow to hopefully get a page finish except for one color that has mysteriously disappeared that I'll have to pick up on Monday after work.  Ready for pics?

Wow it looks like a lot lol!  I should look at photos more often!

Thanks for stopping by I'll see you all for GG!

    230 stitches a day doesn't sound too bad. Good luck and enjoy the new colours! :)

    It certainly makes a nice difference to stitch with a new color. It's going very nicely.

    What a treat to be able to change colours:)) It really helps your inspiration to see your progress in pictures, doesn't it? Especially at those times when you feel like you'll never get that finish...!

    This is a truly epic piece! 230 stitches a day is completely possible . As long as you don't get distracted by that gorgeous HAED in the previous post!
