Some updates to share.

Hello blog buddies!!

It appears I don't get on here very much at all lately. :(
But I am still stitching and still working! :D

I have finished my first project of 2012 to show you.
Dog Lessons for People - Lizzie Kate

I think I finished it on the 20th of January, which was Jambi's 2nd Birthday too. She is a big girl now! lol

I love Dog Lessons and I am really happy with the white frame. I don't know where in the house I am going to hang it, though. I am running out of wall space and the space that is available has been promised to future stitchings.

Now I am focusing on my second finish of 2012... In Harmony
This is my progress so far:


This is the first kit I have stitched that requires blending and changing of how many threads are used for each colour. The effect it gives is amazing! I am so happy with the way this one is turning out. Though when stitching it, it feels very slugish in pace.


I've also bought two new HAED charts during the Valentine's day sale, that is currently running.

Glamour by Irina Garmashova

The Embrace by Sandi Baker

It is so good to be able to buy a HAED chart or two whenever I want. Hooray for having money!!! :P lol
Most of my money, besides going to bills, is being put into my savings account. I am trying to save up to buy a car. :)
I already have enough to buy a car, but I figure, if I wait a little longer and save up more I can get the exact car I want.


Hope to update when I have finished the nest page of In Harmony and I hope you all are keeping well and stitching up a storm.


Happy Stitching J

In Harmony is also looking great and your new HEAD's are very nice to look at.

Good luck with all your stitching.

Love your framed finish! I also love the new HAED Glamour. It looks like you will have many hours of stitching joy!

Very pretty pieces. I like that finish. It's sad when you run out of wall space. I'm afraid when I finally get all my stitching framed I'm going to find that I don't have enough space to put it anywhere.

I just love those Lizzie Kate ABC designs. Very nice finish. The Wolves piece looks great already. Nice HAEDs too. They look massive! LOL. Good Luck on those. :)

I just loved your very first finish of 2012! Its lovely!

The charts you bough are also gorgeous but there is no way on earth for me to stitch something like that...it was gonna take a lifetime, for sure.

I'm also saving money to buy a car :) Planning to do this by the end of the year.

Good to hear from you.

Hugs..Isa.
