Started July 18 and finished August 21. The colors of this page were so much fun to work with, and to say I was into stitching this page is an understatement. The only thing that got in my way was work. Work and copious amounts of it, otherwise I would have had this angry little eye glaring at you all much sooner.
Here's a closeup.
He's adorable, and I absolutely love him! It was so hard to put him down in order to go to work. It's times like these I wish I was a kept lady!
Back to Adrift for a page, but it's mostly water, and looks to be a pretty fast stitch, then I can get back to the other glaring eye.
I think when he's done, it's going to be hard to keep a hold of him. My sister is already making all sorts of noises that he will compliment her wall much better than mine, and to be fair, she has an owl collection that rivals none, and he would make a perfect accompaniment. But I haven't yet made my mind up. Right now the only decision I'm capable of is deciding if I want a latte or an iced latte.
Decisions, decisions!
I hope to see you soon with an update on Adrift.

He's looking great! So grumpy lol :). He's adorable
ReplyDeleteHe's SUCH a grump! I imagine his feet will be cold - when I get around to stitching them!
DeleteIt's adorable! Great progress :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wish I could say he's an easy stitch, but he's an entertaining one. :-)
DeleteSuch a cute grump! He's lovely.
ReplyDeleteHe really is, isn't he? Grumpy cat's got nothing on this angry little owl.
DeleteSo adorable! Wonderful stitching:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annie! He is pretty adorable!
DeleteDon't we all wish we were kept ladies... I sure do! :DDDD Work just takes away time from the really important things, like stitching :DDD Anyway, your owl is so cute! And you're way past the halfway point now! :)))
ReplyDeleteRight? I need to find a 9-5 job where I can stitch every night after dinner. I seriously go through withdrawal when I work a 4 day/night 12 hour stretch. It means there is absolutely zero time to stitch.
DeleteI seriously need to win the lottery. And yes! 62% done. The next page is actually the last full page of owl, the rest are all partial owl and a lot of background, which is an incredibly fast stitch. The hump is over!
I love the expression on this little guy's face, his eyes are fantastic! Your making wonderful progress.
ReplyDeleteOh me too! I love the Annya Kai owls. They are all so expressive!
DeleteThanks for the lovely comment.
He's looking fabulous! I've ended up starting to stitch something for myself and then realizing how it would be better for someone else lots of times, so I feel ya there!
ReplyDeleteIn all honestly, he probably will end up on my sister's wall, but I am encouraging her to stitch one herself. She used to do beautiful stitching when she was younger and I think this would be a challenge, but one she could really sink her teeth into.
