Update, mid October

I've completed the skinny page at the end! It's funny how every picture I take her face seems to have a slightly different expression!  I guess the different camera angles are creating this illusion.  University work is keeping me busy at the moment, it's getting to that crazy end of the year when everything is due in!  Can't wait to finish, stitching seems to be helping with the stress of it all  :)

Nocturne

Nocturne It's been a long time since Nocturne has seen the light of day!  This project was one of the three pieces with the highest amount of votes, when everyone voted for the projects they wanted to see more progress on.   I really wanted to complete page 8 for this blog but I'm only about halfway through.  The chart I'm working on is the old version.   After discovering the art was re-charted, I put the wip aside for awhile to decide whether or not to restart with the newer chart.  I've decided to continue working on the original chart though.  I've already restarted this one before and don't have the heart to restart it again, especially since quite a decent amount has been completed.  Anyway, the newer chart may blend better and have more depth but I still think the original is pretty!  They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

In the Spirit of Diamond Painting

Spirit of Flight I've finished page 17 of my Spirit of Flight Diamond Painting. Now there is one more partial page left till the column finish.  I had a little help from my friend Cathy on a small section of this page! She did the blue section on the left side (Thanks Cathy ;) ): Cute Pens Awhile back I got my Mum and Sister into Diamond Painting.  They are still working on their projects, although we haven't had a chance to get together and do another Diamond Painting Day yet.... For fun Mum brought us all a special diamond painting pen.  There are a whole lot of cute little cartoon type styles available!  I haven't had a chance to test mine out properly until recently... Anyway, it is very comfortable to hold and has a softer more "cushioned" feel than the pink pens.   Diamond Painting Pen: Last Progress Update: Current Progress:      Happy Stitching & Diamond Painting! xxx

100 Days of HAED

25 Days of Treasure Hunt I've fallen way behind with my yearly stitching goals...  So when a post for the 100 HAED Challenge came up on my Facebook feed it sounded like the perfect way to get motivated again and catch up!  I've sort of been avoiding my Treasure Hunt crop because it was getting slightly tedious with all that confetti. The aim of this challenge is to stitch everyday though and that has certainly helped progress. I'm going to share the first twenty-five days now! Treasure Hunt Bookshelf by Aimee Stewart (Cropped Version) Reminder: Last Update:   Progress Before start of Challenge (Challenge Day 0):    Progress on Day 10 of Challenge Progress on Day 20 of Challenge; Progress on Day 25 of Challenge: Whole Piece to Date at 64.55% Complete: I'll be switching wips every 25 days for this Challenge.  Some stitchers are opting to work on the same piece for 100 days.  There is so much confetti in Treasure Hunt that I need to break it up by switchi
