Winter Hat Owl, Pages 14 and 18 Complete

Started January 20 and finished February 3,  7854 stitches. 

Look at that tiny little foot!  Just look at it!   I think part of me died a little while I was stitching it.
Adorable! 

This gives me my 4th HaED page finish this year, even though I feel like a bit of a cheat for counting partials.   Not enough of a cheat to cease counting partials, mind you.

Only 2 more full pages and 2 partials, and this little guy is done!  I guess it would be prudent to start squirreling money away to frame him now, as he's definitely getting framed!

Back to Adrift now.  New row, and I'm actually going to try gridding with a pen.  Those little red plastic grids can be a bit of a pita. (For those not in "the know" pita is short for pain in the.... well, you get the idea).  I don't think I'll manage another page finish in 14 days, like I did with this one, but I hope to have an update for you in 3 weeks or so.

Happy Stitching!

    1. Thanks! I hope to be done around April.
      He's been frustrating at times (the hat) but other times he's been a total joy to stitch.

  2. This little guy is so very cute! You stitched up the last page really quickly. It won't be too long until he's finished! :)

    1. I was surprised how quickly this page stitched up. There wasn't much confetti to this page, just a tiny bit. It sure makes a difference, time wise.

  3. You should definitely count partials! Whatever keeps you motivated. I love this design, it's so sweet and it's nice to read that you're planning how to display him already!

    1. Ha! There is no way I'm NOT counting partials. Even if it's one single, solitary stitch on a page, it gets counted!
      Honestly, I have no idea where in the house he is going to sit, but he will be in a place of prominence.
      I might even enter him into our Fall Fair.
      *excited*

    1. OH absolutely he will be framed. And I will spare no expense either. He will be matted, and probably double matted.
      I can't wait to have him all framed and done.

    1. You're absolutely right, that is a lot of teeny, tiny, little stitches. It's funny, but when I do a mini project that's 2 over 2, it seems the stitch is so huge!!

    1. He sure is! It was a toss up to do either this one or the Spring Owl, I think I made the right decision.
