Peek a boo

I've been working on Porthole of Fantasy 1 since my finger has healed enough to stitch. I'm doing this as a SAL on FB. We are are doing a page every 6 week and not posting pics till the target dates. The first page needs to be done for 12th February. Hopefully I'll be done by the end of the week.

Here's a sneaky peek at how's she's looking.

SK Trick or Treat

I finally got back to where I was before the restart and a little bit more. I have done a quarter of a page as of Monday.

I've now got Porthole of Fantasy 1 back out to try and complete the page. If seems like such huge blocks of colour after the SK. Unfortunately I managed to slam my finger in a car door today so stitching is is going to be impossible for a few days at least :-(

Here's how SK ToT is looking.

SK Trick or Treat

I was doing quite well with this design until I decided I wasn't totally happy doing 2x1 tent stitch on 28ct with all the confetti that's in this piece.

I ripped it all out and have restarted it Friday doing 1x1 full crosses. I'm much happier with it and my fingers are more than happy that they are no longer being pierced by the needle while trying to work it through the fabric.

The top pic is how it was looking before and the bottom is how it's looking after 2 days of stitching. I started at the bottom of the page this time.

So my goals for the year are:
 

Start and finish Porthole of Fantasy 1

 
 
Im doing this as part of a SAL on facebook.
 

Start and finish SK Trick or Treat

 
 
This one is the HAED 2013 BB SAL. Very excited to get the first page of this chart.
 

Start Hannah Lynn Montage

 


 
Ive been waiting 4 months to start this one so its going to be a very happy day when I finally do.
 

Page 3 of Mini Cheshire Cat

 
 

Page 1 & 2 already complete. Page 3 will complete the top row.


 

1 page of Pink Butterfly Fairy

 
 
I would ideally like to finish the 2nd row but the pages of black dont keep my interest long enough.
 

Start and finish Tribal Santa Hat

 
 
Cant decide whether to do this one on black aida or a hand dyed fabric.
