Starting first SAL

Post by taylorgrove »

I started getting supplies for my new project. Its a popular one : Starry Night. I dont have all the supplies yet but here is what I have started

Image

just a little gridding so nothing really just yet.

I have also been working on tinkerbell for a little over a month now but here is what i have so far

Image

I am also getting ready to start my first HAED. I just got the pattern yesterday and a couple of supplies. I figure for a HAED I would start small and go from there. Here is the design I chose

I just finished tinkerbell this past saturday 9/10/11. Your tinker is looking amazing. And you have done alot more than what I had done in the first month and a half. I started her in the beginning of June.

Thanks. I didnt really think it would take me this long since its not that big. I did take a couple days off from it though bc I feel like I always switching colors and then I got to blend the colors. I bought the kit probably about the beginning of August. Im ready to get it finished thats for sure.

Tinkerbell is coming along well and such pretty colours too. Your HAED also looks gorgeous. Great to see them as well as the start on your Starry Night.

:applesauce: Tinkerbell looks really good. And just gridding is a good start for Starry Nights.
I love the HAED you picked. A pretty fairy with I think that is a cute little purple dragon. Should be fun to stitch.

The images in your first post show up as broken links for photobucket for me. Maybe replace them?

:applesauce: I like the sparkles too. Are they beads? I love the way they look, but I hate doing beads. You are making good progress and pretty soon the photos will not be a problem either.
