Cross Stitch Update - L&L project, a Stitch Maynia and a new start

-
Hello friends,

I thought I wanted to just work on one project this time. But, I gave in to the temptation. And, I lied to myself about implementing that rule. I know it will not succeed since I get bored so easily. I did work on the L&L Fairy dreams project more this week but I put some stitches on the Strawberry Sampler and this week I started a new project. How awesome is that? 😁

💗LAVENDER AND LACE - FAIRY DREAMS UPDATE

This has been one of my oldest Work-in-Progress (WIP). I started it, maybe in 2010. It was put aside because I did not enjoy the beading at that time. The beaded garland that the angel is carrying is stitch in alternating colors. That is the best way I can describe it. There's no repeatitive pattern. I used an invisible sewing thread before but the thread was so difficult to work with. As of now, I decided to use the DMC thread that is closer to the color of the fabric. This way, I don't have to change the thread every time I stitch a different bead color. And since the dress of the angel is so huge, I decided to use the parking method. I think using the DMC thread and doing the parking method make things faster.

And this is my update as of 8/26/18.

💗STRAWBERRY SAMPLER

I joined the Stitch Maynia in 2017. Honestly, I don't know where I put my list but I remember that I started 15 projects at that time. This is one of them. I am not a fan of samplers, but sometimes, I would find one or two designs that I would like to stitch. I really think this design is so pretty. Someone told me on Facebook that the designer is deceased. It is sad to know that. Sometimes, I don't pay attention to the designers but I want to change that. I think it is exciting to get to know the designer of every project I have, maybe spend a few minutes on Google, checking if there's information out there regarding the designer.

Here is my progress so far.




💓NEW START
I decided to have a small project that I will carry with me to work and doctor appointments. It is a Dimension Kit by Debbie Mum. I started this on the 21st of August 2018 when I used my 30-minute extra lunch as my incentive for doing a great job at work.



I hope to be able to update weekly this time. I cannot promise though, but I will try. I also want to update my finished folders here. Also, I wanted to create a list of all the projects I have started. I have this idea that if I organize and keep them in a place where they can be easily accessible, I can do that rotation thing. I have heard about a decision roulette app from Bendy Stitchy. It helps in deciding which project to do next. I like the idea so I have downloaded this app and would like to use this for the rotation that I plan as soon as I get my WIPS organized.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day. Please follow me and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to do so.

Much Love,
Celia

October Cross Stitch Work-in-Progress

The trend in cross stitching world right now is to work on a project that is picked by the decision wheel or roulette. I like the idea so I downloaded the app on my phone. I like the idea of not wasting my energy deciding which one to stitch for the day. Most of the time, it is a difficult process for me since I have about 150 plus of projects wanting my attention. So, I decided to have the first set of 11 projects. They are based on the following categories. One big full coverage project - my plan is to stitch 100-200 stitches a day on this project One Mirabilia design  One Lavender and Lace design One Joan Elliot design  One Dimension kit One Christmas stocking Five various designs from different designers I have chosen the projects for this endeavor. My plan is to work on these projects until they are finished. For instance, when a Mirabilia project is finished, I will pick another Mirabilia project that I have already started to add to the wheel. I wan...

Diamond Painting Unboxing

On August 28th, I received the largest diamond painting kit I have purchased so far. I ordered it from AliExpress vendor. It was on sale, I think but I bought it for $16 free shipping. Here is what it looked like when I received the goods. The supplies were not in a box like the ones I saw on YouTube and Facebook. They were wrapped in a bubble wrap. I figured maybe because it was a bit cheaper. These are the contents. I have all the diamonds that are required for this project. I am not sure what are that blue and black plastic thingy though. I am not sure what it is for. Can you please tell me? They called this a Dream Home - Cabin Scenery. And I think it is a 90x40 cm picture size. This is a round drill kit. I thought I ordered a square drill kit but I wasn't really paying attention to the diamond shape when I ordered. the canvas This will be my third DP project. The first DP project I did was the kitten. I ordered the kit from Amazon. I wo...
