ok so i couldnt resist and after all the progress i made on the wedding sampler i thought i could treat myself so i started this last night
theres not much to show and im a bit worried how some of the colours will blend but im just going to stitch and see!
its going to have to be a 'while the toddler is in bed' project as theres 90 colours all wound onto bobbins in numerical order
anyway heres my progress so far


and so u can see just how much i havnt done!


im going to try get my digital camera back from my mums so the pics will look a bit better!

Any start is a good one! I like butterflies!

Gotta start somewhere!!

Such pretty colours, this will be a treat to stitch I expect.

Lovely colours already, great start

great start.!

OMG 90 colors on a quick stitch

But I love this design and I think it's gonna look fantastic all stitched up!

Looks a great start to me.

Just echoing everyone else saying great start!

Adore the colours you've used so far. What material are you stitching onto?

Oh fun another HAED to watch all of the colors on. Looking good so far.

the colours are so vibrent and lush to stitch with!
im doing this on 25 count evenweave i had only ever stitched with adia before so was scared but its lovely to stitch with.... might invest in a magnifying glass tho!

done a tiny bit more!

I couldn't even handle 22ct evenweave after only using aida and so now I am in utter awe of you for jumping right into a 25ct evenweave!

Same here as I cant see to stitch on it:( I think peeps who can stitch on 25ct and 28ct are magic

Great start! I would definitely love to watch it grow!

great job! and w/o gridding you are brave! i hope to start my haed soon too..one of these days..lol

Great to see another HAED, I love those colours

I always start off thinking that the colours look a bit too dark/too light or just strange going together, but usually if I keep quiet & just keep stitching they end up making sense eventually!

Your a brave girl to be working 25ct. The thought just boggles me such small count and yet Mabel does 64ct and thinks nothing of it. Are you doing full stitches or tent stitching???

hey its not as bad to work on as i thought
im doing full stitches it kinda felt like i was cheating if i was to do tent stitches for some reason.....even if they do go quicker lol!

I love it. Such vibrant colours
