Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the warm and kind responses, it makes me so happy, you are so kind! The side effects from the medicine has worn off, but I think I have another cold coming, I did feel well last week, but this week not as much. Thank you once again for the comments, it goes straigh...

Hi everyone! :wub: No, I have not abandoned you and I have not abandoned my project either. Life these past weeks has not been kind on me. First, I got sinusitis (I think that's the english word for it), which at first started as a cold and then developed (lucky me) to sinusitus. Got my medication a...

Hi everyone! As I wrote yesterday, here is my update: http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q606/Beaaaatrice/Cross%20Stitch/bea_update7_zpsqzg0l49k.jpg The photo isn't the best, at least it's not blurry like it was yesterday. Also, it looks like I've spilled something on it but I haven't, I've brighte...

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the great response you all have been giving me :wub: :wub: Yes setting up goals is really working for me, this weekend I achieved my goal that was set up and I will show you my progress, tomorrow. I took pictures yesterday but now when I'm looking at them on the co...

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for all the fantastic replies, you are the main reason I can keep my motivation up at all :wub: :hug: Well I can say that I tried, I really really tried , and on top of that I'm one day late. :oops: I had a lot left to do when I made my promise, I didn't know it at the...

Hi everyone! :wub: Updating every two weeks is starting to become a habit, which I'm planning to break, I have promised myself to give you guys an update one week from now! During the work days, I haven't had much energy for anything really, work has been busy busy busy so I've been exhausted at the...

Hi everyone! :wub: The past week has been a bit calmer than the week before, and I've had quite some time for my stitching, especially this weekend! When things were the most busiest and all I wanted to do was to sit in my couch and stitch, and I knew that when I eventually got home I would not have...

Hi everyone! Thank you so so much for all the warm comments :wub: The past week has been chaos for me, I've had much going on at work and at home so I haven't had the time nor the peace to sit down until this weekend. I managed to make some progress for you guys to see, so here it is: http://i1166.p...

Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for the support, it keeps the faith going that it's OK that the work is going to be big. Sometimes I still have doubts that I'm doing the right thing. It will probably feel better when I have my other work going as well. Here is my second update! :whoop: http://i11...

Hi everyone! A while back I finished my project and immediately started to look for a new one, I literally went through HAED:s whole website and went from artist starting with A and finished with the last one and saved a bookmark for every artist or design that I liked (I have more than 80 bookmarks...

When I was browsing through HAED I came upon this and it's in my to-do-list, so I can't wait to see how this turns out!

Wow to the 28ct, I don't know how you do it!

Great start!

What a great start! I like the other design as well, great to have one with a little more colour in it, I get a boost when I've done a lot of pale or dark colours and then start with a more "visible" one, can't wait to see your progress. We don't have knitting and stitching shows around wh...

Wow thank you guys! It means so much to me that you like it! I've begun on Moo Quack Moo and have ordered half of the threads, they were sent yesterday so I'm hoping that I get them today. I probably wont get them today so I bought 3 colours yesterday that is used in the beginning of square one of t...

Hi everyone! Here comes the final update, I'm done! :whoop: There were actually two colours on the chart which I didn't have (due to wrong number on the colours), one were a dark brown and the other one was a dark red brownish colour. The dark brown was fairly easy to find a replacement for, it's th...

Thank you all for the help! In my current project I'm using Aida fabric, the one with the larger squares, and came to a part in the design where I was supposed to do a half square and also a quarter square and with the way the fabric is, it was not a walk in the park trying to get it right and look ...

Thank you so so much! Now I understand! Is it when it's very small squares like for an example on a 40 count on 1 square inch when you could use the "over 2"? Is "over 1" the most common way to stitch? I took a look again at the chart which I was looking at and the link is here: ...

Hi everyone! I'm doing some research for my next project, still haven't decided the project but I'm looking at HAED and in almost every kit that they have it says: "1X1 means that you would use 1 strand of floss over 1 thread of fabric" "2X1 means that you would use 2 strands of floss...

Hi everyone! Here is an update on my progress and this week I've had a lot done! I got in a flow and just kept on going and going while watching a tv show over the weekend, and I can almost (almost) see the finish line. I think I'm going to finish her clothes before I do the background and trying to...

Thank you all so much, it makes me so happy to know that you like it :D salome , if you begin on this please let me know so I can follow your work! :) Google Translate was a saviour when I came upon the Russian website with this chart, I don't think I would have found the download button if it wasn'...

These looks great!
