10/30/22

 So the new start won out with Trick or Treat from Paine Free Crafts


I finished page 1 on 10/30/22.

Then Sea Witch came out and I finally started to feel her.  Hopefully that lasts as my goal on her is two pages.

I think Loara Standish is going on my other qsnaps so I can rotate between them and hopefully meet both goals.

 Progress on Her Private Garden wasn't as much as I would have liked but I decided to try to wash some of the starch out of the fabric to see if it became a little more stitch friendly.

Then Anna Sophia Bircham from Hands Across the Sea  came out and I almost made it across the top border.

I have three goals left to meet for 2022.  I'm debating on pulling one of them or a new start.

I added 608 stitches to Nightshade and completed my goal for this WIP. 

Her Private Garden from HAED is out now so I can meet my goal on it as well.

I finished page 1 of Dragon Lord on 10/20/22.

I wondered how well the stones of the background would show up.  In at least this picture, they show up pretty well.

Then I pulled out an older WIP, Nightshade ad am working on giving her some love.  Other than a HAED BB SAL, she is my last full coverage piece that is being stitched 1x1.  Here's my starting point.

10/16/22

 I completed page 9 of He Came With the Rain from Unconventional XStitch on the 9th, which completes my goal on it for 2022.



After that got put away, I went through the WIPs I haven't touched yet this year and none of them were calling to me.  So, I started Dragon Lord from Paine Free Crafts

And here is my progress on page 1.

The page continues another inch or so down the fabric with the start of the dragon's wing.  This picture looks pretty dark but that is the first two stones in the wall behind the dragon which contain a lot of 3371.  I picked up the colors I was missing for the first stone yesterday so when I head back to stitch on this, I'm going to get those filled in.

I seem to have a major case of startitis of full coverage charts this month.  I'm planning to start Trick or Treat, also by Paine Free Crafts and possibly Promise to Heart from Tilton Crafts.  They're both kitted and ready to go.

10/7/22

I finished page 1 of Plague Doctor last night except for the two colors I'm missing.  I hope to get my hands on them soon. 


Then I pulled out He Came With the Rain and am hoping to finish page 9 and complete my goal for it this year

Fingers crossed I can knock this out in the next couple of days.  I'd like to be able to pull another WIP, Loara Standish maybe? Before another planned full coverage start on the 15th.
