For some crazy reason, I decided to take part in HAED’s SAL. I decided to stitch Innocent Dreams because who doesn’t love a snoozy bunny, right? I’m stitching it on 18 count to give my eyes a break from the 25 count on my other HAED.

This is what it should look like when done:



And this is where I stopped last night. It’s hard to tell, but there are four colors here.

I see why you need to stitch it.

Snoozy bunnies should be in everyone's life - looking forward to seeing this grow!

It certainly is very cute.

I forgot to post my progress on my snoozy bunny. This was as of about nine days ago. Hoping to get some stitches in today.

I spent some more time with my bunny.

Deceptively simple...

Cabbage appearing!

I'm making progress, and discovering how much more enjoyable it is to stitch a full coverage 2x1 on 18 count.

This is coming on quickly!

This is my progress through Thursday (late post). I will surely not complete the required six pages to get bonus charts and I’m fine with that. I’m just enjoying the process, and the 18 count.

I haven’t worked on Innocent Dreams for more than a week, but I still wanted to share my progress as of 2/12.

That's lots of green!

Lots of lovely subtle shading, is it doing your eyes in?

it is a lot of green, several shades of it, and yes, my eyes need breaks from it. I do love working on it but I need to get to a color other than green.

I’ve put in more stitches in the past month - not many, but more than zero. I’m getting a little bored with all the dark green but I’m still really enjoying the process.

Just think of the excitement when you get to something that isn't green !

That’s what I keep focusing on.

If I ever get around to my HAEDs again, I thought I’d start using 20ct, rather than the 25ct I can no longer see. Or, alternatively, stitch 1 over 1 rather than 2 over 1, on 25ct, which I might be able to manage.

This is looking good; very green, but very good.

My other HAED is 1 over 1 on 25t count and as long as I have proper lighting (and sometimes a magnifier), I can see it. From me, 2x2 on 25 count is just too much. The 18 count makes for a much larger design but the stitching seems to go faster (for me…I’m a very slow stitcher) because I can easily see the holes.

And yes, very green…SO.MUCH.GREEN!!
