WIPocalypse 2012!

I signed up to Measi's WIPocalypse!!. It's a global stitching SAL for the whole of 2012 where by you can stitch whatever you want and then every month on the Full month, we will all post out progress! So without further ado I will be working on.....

HAED - Millennium Tree (Focus piece):

Currently 10 pages completed. I *hope* to get most of the third row completed this year!



HAED - Impetuous arrival (2nd focus piece):

This was a Christmas presie from my parents and I currently can't put it down! I have got a lot more done that this at the moment so I will take another pic later and update it.



HAED - Queen of hearts (my first HAED start):

Currently have 5 pages complete of her. Hopefully I will get another couple of pages done this year.



HAED - Blue Bird

This is a monster project!!! Again not sure how much I will get done but I love the colours!



HAED - Vanity

LOVE purple!! Again I am further along on this one so will update the pic later :)



GK - Tea Party

I haven't worked on this project in over a year! How shameful! I really would love to work on this quite a bit this year.



And finally I will not be doing any new starts this year... This little lot will keep me more than amused for the next 12 months!!!!

HAED.... An obsession??

I have transferred by blog over to my new married name :) I got married just under a month ago and right now I must be the happiest girl in the world. The day itself was amazing. All our friends and family around us. Here is a piccie of us on our big day.

After the wedding we spend 10 nights in Canada for our honeymoon. We had the most amazing time and it was the best start to married life. We have now been back for about 1.5 weeks and I still think I am suffering from the jet lag.

Onto one of my other favourate topics... Cross stitch and HAED!!! I have bought a few more charts! In the last 10 days I have bought Blue bird by J. Wall, Euphoria by N. Thomas, Valkyrie by J. Galbreth and Butterfly Blue by L. Ravenscroft. Ooooooooops!!! They are all totally gorgeous. I now have 18 HAED charts and 1 GK chart with 2 HAEDs and the one GK as WIPS. If I was to live through 4 lifetimes I wouldnt have time to stitch all of these.... Nevermind! At least I can spend time drooling over them all :)

I am currently working on page 1 of millennium tree by J. Wall. The confetti is insane and it is taking me ages but I am loving how this is developing. I don't have a picture yet but I will take a picture when I finished page 1.

Queenie has had 4 pages complete and Tea Party has also had 4 pages complete althought the page format of the GK charts is much bigger. I can't decide which one to work on next. I will see which one shouts the loudest when I have completed page 1 of MT.

I am torn between using blogger or WordPress for my blog. I really like both and I have people I follow on both. Hmmmmm... I guess I could post to both at the same time.  Thats What I will do until I decide.

I am nearly though page 2 of Queenie and I am itching now to return to my GK design - Tea Party. So obviously it is a good thing have a rotation of cross stitch projects. I have a 5-day weekend coming up so I hope to get lots of stitching done :) G and will be going to Ramsgate Saturday morning until Sunday evening but that still leaves me with 3 full days of stitching goodness! I am going to set myself the task of completing page 2 of Queenie and page 3 of Tea party. I am gonna be busy me thinks :)

Just a reminder that you can also follow my WIPs in my Flickr page (see the feed on the right had side) as I quite often post more frequently here. Here is the latest (and poor) shot of Queenie. Still not much to look at :(



TTFN :-)
