Hi everyone I'm back with another faithful update! And another new start! I didn't get any more done on Hocus Pocus because I've been feeling in more of a Christmas mood so I started Santa in the Clouds by Tilton Crafts. I'm doing this one on 28ct evenweave using pin stitch to start and finish and tenting.
Here's what the picture will look like:
And here's my progress so far:
Second color:
I'm really surprised at how dark the colors are. The picture looks a lot lighter but I'm trusting the pattern and I'm sure it'll be beautiful :)
not much else to report other than that I've finished my observation hours so now I just have to wait on finding my placement for student teaching in January.
I'll probably stick with Santa for the time being as I won't have much stitchy time and I'm liking this one so far. I'm going to try to get the Christmas star done before the end of the year. I realized I work much better with a deadline, even when I'm not too strict with it. I'm still catching up on blogs and probably will be for several weeks.
Oh oh I almost forgot! I was the featured blog in Cross Stitch Collection magazine so keep an eye out in the December issue ;)
Thsnks for stopping by I'll see you all next time!
Beautiful design and nice start on it. I really like the tent stitch, makes it fast and still looks nice! Oh so your a celebrity now! I'll look for that magazine. Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful design for a new start and you're doing well.

Another beautiful start. I really need to finish my WIPs so I can start something new.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a rough year and not much stitching got done. Hoping the new year brings better things.
Let me know how the tent goes...I'm very curious about trying it, especially on a SS MC HAED. And congrats on finishing your observation and getting featured in a magazine!! How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteHeather, this is a great new project and I'm sure that you will have a lot of fun with it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome new project - I'm sure we'll all enjoy watching this one grow!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is still doing really weird things on both my PC and my iPad! The pictures are HUGE in this post. Luckily I can still read it in my Feedly reader.
