Amees "Holly" and "Kristan" WIP

Post by ameesqt »

Ok so I had to put my first HAED "Entwine" project off to the side until the Holidays are over!
Wonderful Hubby asked if I was working on any Christmas presants this year and I paniced! I went on a quick shopping run and bought 2 HAED Quick Stitches!! My goal is to get them done by Christmas!!
Im not going to post pics of what the finished project will look like, I thought It would be fun to see it come along and maybe if someone wants to guess what they are they can! Ive named them Holly and Kristan after the people I am making them for~!

Here is Picture #1 of Holly

I havent gotten started on Kristan yet but I think Ill be working on that today!!
Life is too beautiful not to stitch it!

That's not fair not showing us what they'll look like. :( And you're really brave or a very fast stitcher if you can get two QS HAED projects done before the holiday. :applesauce:
current project rotation:
Twilight Balloon Flight
The Accolade
Faces of Faery 89
Dad's Flower Pot

So Ive decided to work on "Kristan" for now, "Holly" will be worked on if I finish this one in time. Hollys birthday is in Feb so If I dont finish it in time for Christmas than I know I can give it to her then!

So what do you think it is?

Great stitching is the Kristan one a Jasmine Becket-Griffith chart? Looks a bit like Black Orchid Fairy to me...

So I came to work today, 8 hour shift, and I thought my cross stitch was in the car............It wasn't, it was in the other car!! :cry:
What am I to do? I have a very slow day ahead of me and nothing to do?
I ran to the second hand store and bought a christmas kit!!! Just a couple of little ones, nothing major :oops: Only $1.50 each!!! So needless to say Im starting something new today! It will just have to go into my rotation and If I dont finish any of them by Christmas than Im ok with that too! Ill try to post pictures later, Im on the laptop so Im not sure how to upload pictures from my camera to this computer yet!

:wub: have a great day everyone! :wub:

ahhh!!! I make sure I have stitching at work...lol forget my purse, and a lot of times food...but I always triple check to make sure I have my stitch bag :wink: ...Glad you were able to stop and pick something to keep you busy today.... Maybe that's a good one to stash away at work just case this happens again?
