My First Long Dog Sampler

-
Yesterday, I saw a finished piece of this design while watching FlossTube. It was so pretty that I really want to have it. I have already mentioned that I am not really a sampler stitcher even though I stitched a few of them. But, if it is a colorful one, I am willing to change my mind anytime.  So, I ordered the pattern from Long Dog Sampler website and received the PDF pattern a few hours later through my email. I was so excited that I plan to put my first few stitches last night. I don't want to dig my stash to look for a fabric because it is going to be a lot of work for me moving around stuff, so I went to Hobby Lobby to get my fabric. I chose the 28 count white evenweave. I want the 36 count but all they have with that stitch count is Linen. I don't enjoy stitching on Linen so the 28-ct evenweave will do. I am just happy to see that it is designed with DMC floss.

Here's the design.

It is now one of my work in progress projects and I will try to stitch a few X's every night. This is my first ever Long Dog Sampler :)

I am still working on my UFP (UnFinished Project) inventory. I am now at #61, and so far I have ditched three projects because I don't want to stitch them anymore. I still have more bags to go through. I will publish the albums here on my blog when I am done with my inventory.

Happy Stitching.
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...
