Lust and all the 939

Here's my progress this week.  Most of my progress is on Lust but there is a bit on Polar Mandala too since I needed a break from DMC 939.  The final picture shows my progress on Lust as of last night.  There are about 13 rows below the main stitching on page 25 so I'm hoping for a page finish this week.

I am doing the 100 Days of HAED challenge and so far I've successfully added my pictures for days 10 and 20.  When I originally added my pictures to the Day 0 post in the Facebook group, I also added information for Sea Witch, planning to change projects at 50 days.  If I can keep up this progress without burning out on this project, I may just decide to keep it out.  I would absolutely love to finish 3 pages this year.  I have 10 full pages and 5 partial pages left.  If I decide I've had enough, I'll rotate to Sea Witch and tenting which will give me progress much faster even if it means I'll be sticking with dark colors since the top half of the page is all 310.

Polar and Lust

I made a little progress on Polar Mandala since the beginning of the month, but it hasn't been touched for a while.  I've kept it out though, just in case the mood strikes.

I've made lots of progress on Lust this month.  One of the first things I did was take the black in the border all the way to the bottom of the chart and it fits!!  There are a couple of inches below the border.  I planned for three but since the fabric shrunk a little when I dyed it and I don't think I accounted for that when I started.  I'll take two.  It's way better than some of the options!

Here's where I am as of last night.  I think I've finished about a quarter of this page.  There have been a few nights where I don't get a lot done though so this is good. 

Row finish!

I finished page 5!  

As much fun as this is to work on, other projects call my name.

Polar Mandala came out and I've made some progress. 

Page 4

Tuesday night saw the end of page 4 of Old European Sampler.

I'm working on page 5 and hope to have it done in the next night or so.

Once that's done, I think I'm going to pull out Chatelaine's Polar Mandala for the weekend and a little color before the 100 day HAED challenge starts and I go to reds.

Almost a page finish

I almost finished page 4 last night.  I'm hoping tonight will see it done then I will start on page 5 so the next time I pick this sampler up, I will be starting the next row.

I think I've decided to take part in the 100 Days of HAED challenge on Facebook.  I'm planning on pulling Lust out and see how far I can get.

A page finish

Saturday night, I finished page 3 of Old European Sampler.  I really like how quickly this one stitches up because of the pattern repeats.

I would have made more progress but I got sidetracked into working on the bathroom in the basement.  The boys were outside weeding the garden in 90+ degrees so I'll take the basement.  I'm not fast and I'm very messy, but I do eventually

I'm planning on sanding in the next couple of nights so I can add the next coat of mud and make more progress.  But that takes away from my stitchy time so it may wait until next weekend.
