My second fractal

I started this one immediately after finishing my first fractal. This one is simply called Fractal 60 and again comes from Cross Stitch Collectibles. This one only took me about 6 months to do. It was fill of confetti stitching and almost drove me bonkers. Stitching on black isn't easy either and that made is harder. It was however loads and loads of fun to stitch. It really cemented my love of stitching brightly coloured fractals and is part of the reason I want to do another one so so badly. (Yes, I am still dealing with the itch)

The Itch.

I have the itch. Its been there a while but now its getting worse. I want to start a new project. I already have two on the go. One a BAP HAED and one smaller one that is almost 3/4 done. Even though it's 3/4 done it will still be a few weeks before its totally done. 

I have been rotating each month and its been working for me. However, there is a fractal I have that I want to start on so bad. I know myself, and I know if I have any more than two then things never get finished but I want to do that fractal so bad. *sigh* Trying to push that itch away. 

If all goes to plan I should be able to start it in November, but that seems so far away. Hmmm. 

I do keep trying to talk myself into allowing up to four WIP's at a time, and working on each for a week at a time. That way each one gets at least one week a month of my attention. 

I'm not sure I have the aida I need for the fractal anyways. I'm too scared to look. I bet if I do have it I won't be able to contain myself and will start on that fractal that is so very loudly calling my name.

To Start

I've been wanting somewhere to put all my stitchy stuff together for a while. I've wanted to have somewhere I can not only share finished projects but also where I can share progress on my current projects. What better place than a blog. 

I've been stitching for well over 20 years now so I have done loads of projects. I no longer have all of them or even have photos of all of them but I do have many. The first one I want to share is one of my all time favourites. It was fun to stitch for the most part and hold great memories for me.

It is simply titles Fractal 54 and comes from Cross Stitch Collectibles. I started this particular one in the few days after we found out that Zac had a heart defect. It carried me through my pregnancy with him, and his whole life. Contained within the green of it is even his name in the symbols used. It did take me 2 years to complete, so it also carried me through my pregnancy with Lucy and her birth. She was about 3 months old when I finished it.

If you look, you can see a few errors in it. Especially down in the purple on the right hand side. I don't know why I didn't frog it. I must've had reason to at the time but can't for the life of me remember what it is now.
