This piece is now 50% done!
The grey part of hat hat was my nemesis! Pure confetti madness which slowed me down to the point where I wanted to scream and fling it into the fire - if I had a fireplace, that is. Instead I had to be content to using unpardonable language and copious amounts of it, which, on one occasion, scared the cat.
I have been busy creating fobs for some Ginger designer scissors I received for Christmas, as well as a needle minder, but I can't seem to get a photo of them that do them justice. If I can get a good photo, I will post it between my next update of Adrift, which should be in a little over a month because it will be a full page and a partial - which means a row finish.
Stay tuned. Wonderful things will be coming down the pike!

Love this design! Congrats for reaching halfway :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I feel like it's a huge accomplishment. The worst is yet to come though! Ha ha.
DeleteWow fantastic. Don't blame you for not putting it down. Congrats on reaching the halfway point.
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie, I sure did heave one big sigh of relief when I put that last stitch in.
DeleteFantastic progress! This is really looking great. How do you survive three nights with no stitching? !
ReplyDeleteWell, I work 12 hour shifts, so there is literally no time to cross stitch. I'm pretty tired when I get home, too, so I just eat dinner and go to bed. But when I'm done my work and I have a night off, I can't wait to get stuck back in to it!
DeleteGreat progress! I have a Kai as well which is my Rapunzel piece but haven't started it yet. It didn't look too confetti heavy when I looked at the chart but I didn't look over the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteYou know, this one didn't look too confetti heavy, until I started working on it. It's really only parts of it, but my gosh, it can be heavy at times.
DeleteEnjoy your Kai! I hope you start it soon and post lots and lots of updates.
Good thing you don't have a fireplace! ;)))) It looks great, can't wait to see the rest of the owl!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I can't guarantee this little guy would have made it, had I had one.
DeleteConfetti is the worst and I definitely feel ya!
ReplyDeleteI consider confetti to be my Tale of Two Cities. It's the best of times, it's the worst of times. But the end result is always worth it! Always!
