WIP UPDATE: Page Finish King Coda Story Teller

Good morning stitchy friends!

I finished page number 2 on my Heaven and Earth Designs WIP King Coda Story Teller by Aimee Stewart! I am stitching the max colors, super size version of this one so I only have a measly 152 more pages to go! LOL! With that many pages each one is a victory!

Here is what it looks like now:

And here is what this will look like in 30 years:

Only about 4 more pages I think until I get into the beginning of the crown for a change of pace. I think I will be really ready for that once I get there. It is neat though being able to pick out the tapestry pattern details in the design so far though. Love this design :)

Thanks for stopping by today and have a lovely stitching day!

WIP UPDATE: King Coda Story Teller - PAGE FINISH!

Hello Stitchy Friends!

I am the world's suckiest blogger! I promise I will try and update a little more frequently on here! I seem to do a little better updating on my instagram lovesrubberstamps_needlecrafts. I will be trying to catch up my blog with the projects I have worked on since my last post.

Up for show today is my Supersize Max Colors Heaven and Earth Designs WIP called King Coda Story Teller by Aimee Stewart. I rotate to this wip every other 10 hour rotation and complete 2 horizontal rows on my chart. Well I have a PAGE FINISH!! Yay!!

Here was my starting spot:

And here is page 1 FINISHED!

I only have 166 pages left to go :D

Here is what this will look like finished:

LOVE this design :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great stitchy week!

WIP UPDATE: HAED Dreamer Max Colors by Nadia Strelkina

Hi Stitchy Friends -

I have completed my two work week session on my Heaven and Earth Design Dreamer in Max Colors by Nadia Strelkina. This one is full of confetti on the first page due to the beautiful tree and the leaves so it is a lot of color changes and a lot of colors where there are maybe 1 or 2 in that area and that is it. Slow going but will be well worth it in the end! Here is my Beginning and ending pictures and what this beauty will look like finished.

Beginning: 

Ending: 

What this will look like finished:

Next up for my Two Work Week rotation is my HAED New Girl 3 by Bec Winnel. I am close to having 2 more pages complete (less than 100 stitches) so that will be exciting!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stitching!

WIP UPDATE: HAED King Coda Story Teller by Aimee Stewart SS MC Version

Hi Stitchy Friends!

Since I started my new rotation about a month ago I can say that it is really working for me so far and I love it. If you missed my post on what I am doing for my rotation you can see it here. Since I have started this rotation I have cycled to my Heaven and Earth Designs King Coda Story Teller by Aimee Stewart twice. I am stitching the supersize max colors version on 28 count Lugana 1 over 1 full cross.

Since I work from the large format PDF charts I have been completing two rows across the page each time this is up for the rotation. I decided that if a 10x10 block was split between the two pages, I would complete that block. So since I am just on page one still after restarting this on my favorite fabric for HAEDs - each rotation I am stitching a little over 1400 stitches. After 4 rotations to this I will get a page finish!

Here is my progress on it to date - just over 2800 stitches completed on page 1:

And of course what this will look like finished:

I love working on this one and am amazed at the detail coming through in the tapestry curtain area already. My next two cycles on page one will have a lot of black to do so hopefully that will help it go a bit faster since there won't be as many color changes.

My cute needleminder is from Maggie's Minders on Etsy :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great stitchy week!

HAED WIP: New Girl 3 by Bec Winnel

Hello Stitchy Friends!

Today I thought I would share one of my Heaven and Earth Design WIPS - New Girl 3 by Bec Winnel. This is my very first HAED that I have started. It is also the first stitching piece that I started after losing my stitching bug for about 7 years after my Grandpa passed away in 2008. It kind of kick-started my stitching again :)

When I was picking a design to do for my first Heaven and Earth I just looked through the site and when I stumbled across this one it just grabbed my attention and I just kept coming back to it. I love the realistic look of her face, the colors, and her eye just sucks you in. I think it reminds me a little of myself when I was younger and a lot skinnier - LOL! I am always told I have very pretty eyes and it is the eye in this one that draws you in. Anyway - Here is what she will look like in about 50 years when I get her done ;)

I just thought I would share the progress pictures I have taken so far since I started stitching her on March 28th, 2015 so here it goes:

                                                                    April 30th, 2017

And here is where I ended during the month of April! I had a PAGE FINISH! Page 10 is done - the edge of that page is designated by the first pin. I am also super close to having Pages 2 and Pages 11 finished also. The page edge for those is the 2nd pin straight up to the top!  So I am close to almost 4 pages complete. I always enjoy working on this one. I had taken longer breaks between getting to her after trying some of the HAED challenges on other pieces.

I currently have 5 Heaven and Earth Designs started as WIPS. I alternate 4 of them as my work projects since we can bring things to do when we are not busy and I stitch on them at work. My 5th one is a super size HAED so I only work on that at home. I will share my other HAED WIPS soon :)

Thank you for stopping by today!
