I promise I won't peek - I'll give the package directly to my husband and have him put a sticker or something over the declaration bit so I'm not tempted.

Mine will be mailed at the end of next week. I've changed my mind so many times, I finally settled on a design to stitch (after 4 other ideas)

Just got back from the post office! Mine is winging it's way to Australia!

While waiting around today, I finished up this little one. He's around 3"x3".




I made a bit more progress on my first ever HAED too.

I'm facing the very real possibility of losing my mom soon, she just got diagnosed with liver cancer. She's done needlepoint all of her life. My thoughts are to donate a lot of her needlepoints to the local library for seasonal or other displays. I stitch and quilt too, but I don't have many of my s...

wow, you've been really busy!
Love the wedding gift, and the faces of fairy!

They're both coming along really beautifully! We can't show the Tardis to my husband, he'd want me to stitch one up for him.

Enjoy every moment with the grandbaby!

Awesome job stitching it! I just adore samplers and yours is no exception! Great work!

oh wow, that's turning out to be so beautiful! Great stitching!

I really like how it's turning out! It's certainly a unique piece, and will be a conversation starter for sure! You're doing an incredible job on it, and you stitch so fast. I'm in awe.

Well, I have a bit of good news, and a lot of bad news. The good news is that I started my first HAED - I got the pattern on clearance, and searched my whole stash of threads and found that I had all but one color for the chart. I even had the fabric in my stash. It's 18 count Aida, and since it's a...

Incredible work!! Love the HAED and the sampler

She looks just beautiful! I know it's really hard with the 1/1, but for what it's worth she's incredible.

I love the detail in it. Can't wait to see more.

Okay.. so my version is a bit less intricate, but it's DONE, framed and given. :) :whoop: :whoop: I ran out of time since I got sick and had a 3 day migraine. I skipped the two side crosses, and some of the details in the top, but in my opinion it looks just fine and no one will notice if I don't sa...

Whoo hoo! Congrats. I was sick today and just got to check.

Congrats

she's looking just gorgeous!! Amazing progress. I love the idea of posting progress by column. Photos are photos, and I love living vicariously through all of you with these beautiful projects.

Thanks for all the encouragement.. I have 10 days left to finish!! *eek* *insert mini freak out here* :tizzy: :tizzy: :tizzy: *crossing fingers* I kind of fell asleep last night, so now, I'm just working away. I'm going to try to find some more time to stitch in the next few days. Perhaps Monday whe...

Just wow. I'm in awe over how fast you stitch! It looks really amazing.

Please share with us your thoughts on the charting when you do it.. I always find myself tweaking patterns slightly.

I'm at 9/10 still.

Whenever is good for you. I'm with the kiddo till 8 pm at soccer practice tomorrow ( ), but get off work at 3 eastern. Do what you need.

I've framed a lot of mine, and put a ton of mine into quilts or totebags.
