Here is the next page completed in my rotation. It is page two of Waterlilies. I love how this is turning out and it is quite an easy stitch because of the big blocks of colour. I have also completed the June owl of the SAL I am a part of.

This is the Waterlilies page I have been working on:

And the piece as a whole so far:

June's Owl:

And all together (please excuse the hoop marks :oops: ):

Next up is another section of my wizard design which shouldn't take too long to complete. Happy Stitching everybody!!!

I just went through your thread and love the work you have done. The water lillies and the Christmas HAED and the owls and on and on. It was a fun read. I don't know how I missed seeing this before, but am very glad I did now.

:oops: Thanks for all the lovely comments.
How big is it going to be?
Its 167 x 125 stitches and I am stitching it on 28 count over 2 so approx. 11 and 3/4 inches by 8 and 7/8 inches.
And the owls are super cute!!! My hubby's grandmother is an owl addict, lol, she collects them in all shapes and forms, and that would be an awesome gift to her, may I ask where the chart is from?
I am a member of the Oakhaven Yahoo Group. The SAL is free you just need to sign up and then email the designer. She has lots of owl designs available for sale as well.

I can't believe how quickly I am updating again but I have finished the next section of my Cross Stitch Crazy Wizard. There were some half stitches but I had alot of time over the weekend and did nothing with it but stitch. Next up is the final section of my Whale and Dolphin sampler and I hope to get that one finished pretty quickly as well. I am excited to be stitching that one again. Here are the piccys:

I can't wait to get back to this one though because next up is the face of the wizard and a castle which is situated just over the wizard's shoulder. Happy Stitching everybody!!!

Your project is lovely and I know what you mean with confetti stitches... my despair project looks a mess on the back cause its just full of them :) luckily i will frame it and not need to show the back.

Hi, I finished my Whale and Dolphin Sampler at the end of last week and am really pleased with how it turned out. Now I have finished this I am starting a new project but still keeping the theme going because it is an underwater scene of dolphins. It is fifteen pages long so by far the largest piece I have worked on but the pages are small (about half the size of a haed page). I therefore hope to have an update on my first page soon. Here are the pictures of the section I was working on and as a completed piece:

Happy Stitching Everybody!!
