Adrift, Page 16 Complete

The good and bad thing about transitioning from day shifts to night shifts is the all night stitch-fests I get to do.  Of course the downside is looking at the beautiful day that today promises to be and know that I will be missing it because I will be sleeping all day.

But back to the all night stitch fests.  Last night I finished page 16 of Adrift.  More of that beautiful tail.  I managed to finish this relatively quickly, starting the page April 19 and finishing May 7.  And I am very, very nearly at a milestone.  This page finish brings me up to 49% done! Nearly half-way!


I should have an update of Winter Hat Owl really soon.  It's just a page of blue, and not even a full page, at that.  I managed to get 100 + stitches in after I finished my page of Adrift, so I'm well on my way.

Well, it's been a long night and the sun is shining, which means it's bed time for me.

Happy stitching everyone, and I will see you all soon.

  1. Congratulations on your page finish and your near milestone. I can't believe what difference a page of colour makes to the whole design. All of a sudden she's really come alive. She's an absolute pleasure to look at! :)

    1. Aww, thanks Rach. I know, right? The color of the tail is really, really vibrant! When I saw the colors, I didn't think she would pop as much as she does, but it really makes a huge difference!
      I'm completely back in love with her again!

    1. I can't stitch at my job. But I work shift work, so I do days and then nights. When I am trying to switch over to a night rotation, I sit up all night and stitch. It's like an 8 hour stitch-a-thon. And man, do I get a lot done!

  6. Beautiful! The piece is just breathtaking. Congrats on another page finish! Do you rotate pieces after you finish a page?

    1. Thanks Katie! Yes, I do rotate after a page. I find Adrift to be a little dark with the colors, so I do a page of her and then a page of Winter Hat Owl - the picture can be found at the top of my blog, just to the left. The Owl is so colorful and vibrant that it makes a nice change from from the darker colors of Adrift. The funny thing is, I think I will be finishing these two pieces at nearly the same time. Two HaED finishes at the same time! How awesome will that be?

  11. Adrift is absolutely beautiful, and I love the colour palette. She has totally come to life once the tail has started to appear. I would love to stitch this but I'm rather daunted by it, she is fantastic, and I really admire your perseverance x
