Disney Dreams Sleeping Beauty - Update 2/5!

Post by Strawberry Fields »

Hi!

I started Sleeping Beauty from The Disney Dreams Collection (original art by Thomas Kinkade) at the beginning of January, 2014. Serious progress wasn't made until a few months ago, however. I had put it aside to work on multiple other projects during the spring and summer, but I'm back to work on it again and excited to share my progress with all of you along the way!

A small update this week, it seems. Being able to see the outline of the tree now makes me happy though. Lots of green thread in my future. :shock:

Instead of an update this week, I thought I'd introduce my new thread-storage system for this kit. The cards that it came with weren't working for me, so I purchased a binder and trading card sleeves and cut out index cards to fit. Now when I need a certain color, I just flip through until I see the corresponding symbol! Loving it and wishing I had done this sooner!

I haven't gotten around to taking a more recent picture, so here is what Beauty looked like about a month ago. I've made a lot of progress since then so I'll try to post another update this weekend!

Beautiful stitching! And your organization is just wow! I currently have 120 something floss bags, and I might borrow your idea, especially since I take mine to work with me. This is just so much more convenient!
So many HAEDs I couldn't possibly list them all. Current favorites are Dragon Kin, Sea Unicorns (QS), April Fairy, What's This, Dahlia, and so many starts going on. Love to cross stitch! Find me on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/brekkana.kultiras

It looks great! The Disney designs are a lot of work but so beautiful.

Given you user name and your avatar....have you seen the Magical Mystery Tour series of charts done by Blackbird Designs? I've refrained so far, but they're on my 123stitch wish list.
