I've been really sick so haven't updated my WIP's/finishes in a little while. Haven't really been well enough to stitch all week either. This is last weeks finish. Its called Summer Pudding. Its from Cross Stitcher magazine of August 2005, by Shelia Hudson. I used 25 count Evenweave and DMC threads. Its done 2 over 2. The only thing I really changed about this pattern is I didn't include the French knots. I hate them and really can't do them, so I used tiny little beads instead. Far quicker and actually looks better than my French knots. This took me 8 days in total to complete and was really quite a fun and fast project. I'm now totally out of Evenweave, so I have met my "use all old fabby" goal for my Evenweave stash. Now to work on that Aida stash.
Here, also is progress on my HAED, Afternoon Tea. Not much done last time I worked on it. Loads of confetti on this page. Am hoping to get the page completed this week but since I was sick last week I didn't get any study done either and so really should catch up a little on that too.
New couch can be seen in the background. Much better back support for stitching. I'm going to get a floor stand soon too. My lap hoop stand is great and works well, but now with the new couch there is room for the feet of a floor stand. I plan on getting a universal one that will hold hoops and scroll type stands. That way I can use what I already have with them. I will need a larger scroll stand for Afternoon Tea but they aren't overly hard or expensive to get.
