Thankyou everyone. I must admit when I took that last photo, it did look really good, the whole thing is starting to take shape nicely. Seeing the face starting to emerge has made a massive difference. Can't wait for the background to start taking shape too. :D

This is so pretty and you're really making progress on it. And now she has a face and can watch you, so you better behave.

Here's my progress from last night's work on my sillouette. Ive moved up to a larger hoop and sewed more material to the edges to get the tention. :)

This was because the black Aida I had was only just large enough for the whole pattern. Lol, won't matter once its all framed. :doh:

:applesauce: :applesauce: Nice!! :wub: This is coming on really well. :D

The number of times I've either cut my fabric short OR... what's worse!...failed to centre the design so I have to add fabric on for the tension in the hoop! :tantrum: :tizzy: :doh:

The shading on the moon is gorgeous!

I'm working on a crewel kit at the moment which comes with an 8" hoop and then provides fabric that is only just big enough to fit into it :shock: :shock: and it should really be in a bigger hoop anyway because some of the design practically hits the edge of the inner hoop :-(

You've done quite a lot of black on black, that can't have been easy or quick. Congratulations for your persistence, it's looking good.

Richard

I am not a fan of working on black, but I always love the end result. You are doing this beautifully and making great progress.

I agree completely. As hard as I find stitching white on white fabric, black on black is nearly impossible for me. You are doing an awesome job.

It is looking fabulous and really great. I do hope that you take a good rest stop between sessions to give your eyes a break.

Aww thankyou, oddly Im not struggling with the black to much. Though I am used to doing things in fine detail on small scale.
I definitely take breaks though, I'm usually only working on this a little bit each evening. As I'm working on it when doing a sleepover shift in work, to wind down the evening.

Thanks and stay safe everyone.

So I've had a little break from cross stitch as I came across something different to have a go at, and whilst it's not x-stitch I'd love to share my progress here.

So a little crochet, emphasis on little. 1mm stitches using Anchor floss. This is a head of a wie' little dragon. I hope you like and look forward to updates on this aswell as my X-stitching. Wolfie :puppy:

That is going to be most interesting to watch coming to life. I love the colours of the thread you are using too. :applesauce: :applesauce: :lol:

Thankyou, I bought a random bag of assorted threads years ago and it had a bunch of multi color dyed threads. Now I've found the perfect use for them lol

Ill put more picks up as I go. :whoop:
