New Stash and HAED Challenge

Hi everyone just a short post today!  I've abandoned paradise for a short while while I work on finishing the HAED challenge on their Facebook page.  The challenge is to do a page of a pattern (at least 7,300 stitches) and do it cross country.  Mine rings in at barely 7,300 so in safe but I was worried when I recounted after doing 5 colors.  I'm not sure how many colors are on this page but I'm only about half done.  I'm going to do a video slideshow of each color after I finish it.  But here it is now:

This is his nose.  As a reminder I'm doing Brigid Ashwood's Celtic wolf that only, I think, 20 people own the pattern.  I got it with her calendar as a Kickstarter she was doing.  

I also got a new chart :). I know I don't need anymore but meh that's what the stitching world is all about!

Nic over at obsessive stitcher in her last post introduced me to charting creations where I found this beautiful piece:

I just fell in love with the the colors and the castle and the glow of her dress.  I held off a day before buying while I asked myself if I really needed it but I kept fantasizing about it so she became mine. I'm glad I waited though because they're having a sale!  There's a cool dragon I want too but I'll be good :)

That's all for now I hope to finish wolf soon so I can get back to paradise!  I'm itching to continue.  Thanks for stopping by!

Ps I just started watching floss tube so if any of you guys have a channel leave me a comment so I can watch :). I'm marathoning a lot right now which is my favorite way to watch stuff

  6. That's a lot of stitches in! I can picture the nose. Your new one is gorgeous, that gown alone is a major selling point, you have to give in, lol. Ooh, love flosstube, so many informative enablers, haha.

  9. Just love that Cinderella chart... did you happen to see the dress that Claire Danes was wearing the other night for the Met Gala! Your Cinderella chart reminds me of that dress :o) Stunning!
    I watch a couple of floss tubers (Stash Queen, Queen of Starts, Ms Ohsewcrafty, Coffee Stitcher etc) but I never seem to catch up on them all... there are never enough hours in the day!
    Well done on your HAED challenge.. keep going - your Wolf is looking great!
    Hugs xx

  10. You are doing great on your HAED challenge. And I can easily see why you had to have this new chart. Her dress is a real dream, and I'M sure will also be a dream to stitch.

  12. You are doing great on your cross country stitching. I LOVE your new chart!! It is so pretty and it makes me wish I had a granddaughter to do it for.

    I have not started watching Floss Tube because I am scared to give up even more of my stitching time to something else!
