I am super excited and super stressed out by it at the same time. A lot of small things have to happen between now and then but I am looking forward to it. Work has calmed down a touched, but with the season of sales coming up, I am envisioning lots and lots of overtime.<br />
<br />
Stitching wise, I've been busy. I completed the top half of Red and I am in the midst of crocheting gloves for my local renaissance festival. Not exactly sure when I'm going this year, but I'm looking forward to it. The first photo is a WIP picture I did about a week ago and the bottom is how it looks like now. All the blank space is ALL beads. She's going to look absolutely fabulous.<br />

That's all I have for today. Thanks for reading. Happy Stitching!!Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666292205099791436noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197337746426475133.post-85605399031718896822016-07-28T17:07:00.001-07:002016-07-28T17:07:42.475-07:00A Long Time With a Lot of StitchingI know it's been forever. Life is amazingly busy right now and I just haven't had the time to really make this blog a priority. My life has truly done a 180 since this time last year. I am with an incredible man who has helped give my life at least some purpose and meaning and has helped me want to be a better person in every way. I am now on first shift and they have been giving my boyfriend and I a TON of overtime that has really drained my reserves. Because of this, I have decided to go back to college for my own sake versus having someone suggest I go back. I haven't gotten into any colleges yet, but I have hope that it will happen. If all else fails, I can do online courses for a while and then try again with a real college....or something. My relationship with my family is greatly improved with everyone....except my brother, who's just a general jerk in the first place. My life is amazing and I'm looking forward to seeing how my life continues.<br />
<br />
On to the main point of this blog: THE STITCHING!! Now, I have finished one piece that I am hoping to use for my wedding. The theme is owls, so it's really perfect. I was hoping to use it as a memorial type deal. I used gold metallic for some of the leaves and it really gives it a touch of specialness.<br />

I was able to frame the Ever After piece I posted last time. It took at least an hour to figure out how to deconstruct it without ruining it and to then put it back together. It had old, hardened hot glue on it and I spent at least 15 minutes doing it the hard way before I got fed up and looked up an easier way to get rid of it without ruining the wood (rubbing alcohol, btw). <br />

Last finish of the day: my crochet project. It's a simple blanket but it didn't turn out half bad for a first project, anyway. I haven't been brave enough to try another project, but I'm working up the nerve. I really want to get a pair of gloves made in time for our local renaissance festival.<br />

Now for WIPs. Now the first WIP is Celtic Summer. I started it for my mother's sake because I eventually want to do all of them for her. I stopped where I did because I got mildly bored by it and obsessed with starting a different project. Anyway, this is where I am now.<br />

Now the project I've been dying to stitch for a while now is Red from Mirabilia. I've been working on it for about a month now and I'm absolutely loving how it's turning out so far.<br />

Randomness: I had a fish. It was mildly suicidal. I had it for about a year. It recently died. I didn't really want to get another fish to replace it, on the other hand I wasn't sure what to do with the tank. I'm on Pinterest and I'm following someone who posted stuff about terrariums. At first I thought it was silly. Time goes on and I started to want some green life in the house. When I first noticed the fish not looking so hot, I started planning what to do with the tank. When it finally died, I had decided that a low maintenance plant would be a better fit. So I did some research and I made this.<br />

It's small and, no, I did not finish it in time for Valentine's Day, which is fine. It does happen. For this piece, I left off a few rows so I would be able to put it in a specific frame I have, but I think the piece still looks pretty darn awesome.<br />

So the something completely different: I have started to teach myself how to crochet!! I have started something simple but huge and it's coming along quite well. It's a simple blanket using single stitches. I'm not even close to finishing, but I will show you the two pics I do have. One was taken a few days after starting it and the other is it's current progress.<br />

85 stitches wide and 27 high as of right now. It hurts my hands a bit, so I'm taking it slow until they're used to it.<br />

I finished my Skeleton Crew piece and have already started another, much smaller piece which I am optimistically hoping to have done by Valentine's Day, but there's a chance it won't be done by then. We'll see. I have all week to work on it and it's pretty small.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, I finished Skeleton Crew 2/4/16. First finish of the year!! I have a pre-back stitch picture and a finished photo with some detail shots.</div>

Updates Including Skeleton Crew WIPsI know, I've done a terrible job posting and keeping everyone up to date on what I have been stitching. However, night shift is killing my free time, making it so I honestly spend more time sleeping or working than anything else and makes what I do during my weekends very limited. Christmas was a particularly busy time for me as I work in a very busy factory.....not too mention family, new boyfriend, etc, etc. Anyway, I have been busy stitching. I made a few things for said new boyfriend but didn't think to take a picture of them until after I gave them away, so not those, lol. Skeleton Crew is coming along nicely. I have a few WIP pictures to show off.<br />

The first photo is from before Thanksgiving and the second one is my current progress....as in this morning, lol. I don't have that much more to do, just the lettering and the sea monster/fish beneath the hull, not to mention the tiny bits of back stitching. <br />
<br />
I have some patterns to make up for the lack of them last post.<br />

My ex is completely behind me, I got hired on full-time, and I have someone new in my life. So those are the major pluses.<br />
<br />
Well, I have a bunch of small finishes and Sprite Stitch Swap gifts to show off. First, I'll start with the swap. This year, I made some Portal themed items that was well received. I think you'll see why. As for the received gift, it definitely made my day when the package came. I received several Harry Potter themed goodies that I'm afraid to really try, a Sailor Moon themed scarf, a Navi amigurami, a Pokemon themed thread catcher (which I use for my tv remotes), and a jar with the Skyrim logo and popular phrase "Fus Ro Dah."<br />

For a Sprite Stitch Challenge, I painted something. I got an appreciation badge for it...otherwise, no votes. I didn't even vote for it, lol. The theme was...something about homes. Anyway, I painted Hyrule Castle. I tried to make it look like the Ocarina of Time version.<br />

No patterns today. I figured this post was too picture heavy without adding patterns to it, too. Hope you enjoyed, and Happy Stitching!!Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666292205099791436noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197337746426475133.post-2556101496733130992015-08-09T01:04:00.000-07:002015-08-09T01:04:11.955-07:00I am Back...Mostly. New WIP and a FinishSo it's been a minute since I posted anything. My big "life decision" was leaving my emotionally abusive boyfriend and moving back in with my parents. It's not something I took lightly and I'm still recovering, in a way, but I am happier now than I was when I was with him. Along with leaving him, I was a bridesmaid in my BFF's wedding, looking for a job, and just trying to adjust to living without him and back with my parents. I am now working 3rd shift at a factory and my days and nights are all confuddled, but I'm doing well with it. My parents...well, it hasn't been a particularly easy transition on that front. Parents insist on their point of view and rules, and I want my independence, so that's been difficult to deal with. Doesn't help that I lost my car a couple weeks ago and now have to depend on their vehicles to get anywhere. There was a really bad storm in the area and my job told us to go home, and I managed to stall my car in a bit of high water on the way home. I'm fine from that, no injuries, but the insurance company decided that it wasn't fit for me to drive anymore, so there's that. They paid off the rest of the loan and I'll still get some money to pay off debts accrued this past year and get another vehicle, so that's a blessing in a disguise.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Stitching wise, I went through a slight lull, but have been back at it. I in the mini swap for Sprite Stitch this year, but I haven't manged to think of ANYTHING for it, and I'm getting worried that I'll never have the motivation to actually do it since I can't relate to anything this person likes. I have manged to finish something I started back before I moved. Small piece that my mother picked out. Very simple; one color.</div>

I was thinking of framing it and giving it to her for her birthday later this month. See how it goes. I have another finish, that I sort of forgot about. I made a small wedding sampler for my BFF, but I forgot to bring it with me to the wedding, so I now have time to do something creative with it...don't know what, but something.</div>

I started work on a new piece about a month or so ago. I am stitching Skeleton Crew from The Cricket Collection. I am enjoying stitching this piece and find it to be quite fun. Nothing too complicated and I really like the color scheme. It forces me to stitch using multiple colors in progress at a time as it doesn't really work with skipping around, so that's a new experience for me. Here's what I have.</div>

The bead work was surprising easy, and the outlying stitches drove me bonkers, but she is done and I couldn't be more proud of myself.<br />

That's it for this post. I'm probably not going to be posting for a little while. I recently made a life decision that will keep me from probably doing anything for a while. Will give more details in next post, however far into the future that may be. I'm nervous and feel like I'm going to regret it in some way, but I know it has to be done in order to be happy. In the meantime, Happy Stitching!!Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666292205099791436noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197337746426475133.post-57089475098693541472015-04-05T18:25:00.000-07:002015-04-05T18:25:10.657-07:00Closer to Being Done...The Night WIPYet another The Night WIP. It is really coming along and my hands are hurting trying to finish these bottom few inches. However, since I now have no job, I have the time to finish it in a somewhat timely matter. It sucks not having a job, but the fiance had the better paying job and we only have the one car, so that's how that went. Anyway, my progress on this piece is coming along nicely.<br />

I'm not overly crazy about the fact that the color of the bottom two inches of the dress don't quite match the top part, but I think it might be because of the time difference between stitching the top and bottom....that or the dye lots aren't quite the same, which is even more aggravating to think about.<br />
<br />
Now for patterns.<br />

I have one more major color left for this side of the pattern, and then it's down to the homestretch of the stitching portion, which is the bottom 2-3 inches. This piece is starting to take on some real shape and I can't wait to get these last things done with. Now for the update:<br />
<br />

As you can see, she's just about done. There are some random spots that need to be stitched still, but I'll try to get to them when I start the back of the pattern.<br />
<br />
Now for patterns.<br />

That is all for now. Life is still pretty busy, but things are looking up. Happy Stitching!!Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666292205099791436noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197337746426475133.post-79637494674264174042015-01-04T19:54:00.000-08:002015-01-04T19:54:12.573-08:00The Night WIP, A Tribal Cat, and Swap Gifts to MeI got a job, engaged, sick (cold/flu), and the holidays f-d me up since last I wrote and it kept me busy until recently. Life has really gotten in the way of this blog, but I refuse to let it be the reason I stop it altogether since I love getting feedback on the things I do, even if it doesn't happen very often. I also love sharing what I've created and seeing people stitch the patterns that I make. It's a nice little high for me and I hope to keep it going, even if I don't go and post everywhere. I am always watching, even if it seems like I'm not there.<br />
<br />
With that little side note out of the way, here's what I've been up to. First, The Night piece got a little off track. I miscounted her face a little bit and I decided to take a little break before stitching her face again. I have made a lot of progress with her and I'm really liking how she's coming along.<br />

I also stitched up a tribal cat during this time. It's small.....I stitched it on 25 count over 1, so that was a nice challenge for me. It's all one color and I initially wanted to do it with variegated floss, but wasn't sure if I would have enough, so I just did it in black.<br />

Patterns. Another array of randomness, but I don't seem to hear any complaints, so I will continue to do it until I have no more in my very large stock.<br />

That's it for this week. Happy Stitching!!Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11666292205099791436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197337746426475133.post-19871399271124839932014-10-21T09:55:00.000-07:002014-10-21T11:44:59.509-07:00Catching UpSince I posted last, I got a boyfriend, moved out of my parent's house, freaked out over reality, moved to a different shift, continued to freak out over reality, and quit my job that was depressing me to the core of my being. Now, I am unemployed and looking for work with my boyfriend and have finally found myself with time on my hands to do whatever I want for a little while. Hopefully, neither one of us is unemployed for too long, but it's nice to have this free time after working for two years, pretty much straight. Stitching wise, I've been productive. I haven't been stitching as much as I would like to, but life does that to things that you like doing.<br />
<br />
First, I would like to present what I have managed to finish. This first one is a dragon I stitched up just before moving out. I found the pattern while I was in Florida last Thanksgiving and it was a nice easy piece to do after the monstrosity of the Chandelier piece.<br />

These next pictures are of the projects I did for the Sprite Stitch Mega Swap this year. I have yet to receive mine, but I am sure they will come in due time....that or they were lost in the mail. Anyway, I stitched up a Sailor Moon collage of her and her brooches, a Elder Scrolls quest marker magnet, and a Tardis in a hoop. I took closeup shots of the stitchings in the collage.<br />

Lastly, my boyfriend insisted that I stitch things up for Halloween since it's our favorite holiday and I couldn't refuse him. The first one is a small one and the other one is much larger. He framed it for me for Sweetest Day this past Saturday while I was away with my parents for the weekend.<br />

This next few things are pieces that I finished basically within the last month. There's only one thing that I didn't finish in the last month, but I haven't posted it yet, so that's okay.<br />
<br />
Anyway...first thing: Christmas gifts. I made Christmas gifts for people I work with that I hadn't already made gifts for in the past. Here's the result:<br />

These next two pieces are technically WIPs, but they're done to the best of my ability at the moment. The first one is done because I don't know what else to do with it. It can either be a magnet, or I could leave as is and not worry about it. The second one is only partially done because I got it in a kit and the company didn't put enough of a particular floss color to finish it and I only just got around to asking about it.<br />

Haven't been very stitch productive, but I'm doing the best I can. I haven't done anything to the Chandelier piece since I last posted. I have, however, started a small Thomas Kinkade piece. It's a small Beauty and the Beast piece, which I also have the large version of. Silly me couldn't remember which one I had when I bought the small one. Oh, well. I like Beauty and the Beast, so I don't mind.<br />

I also received my swap gift for the Sept/Oct 2013 Sprite Stitch from Johloh, which I was super excited about. The perlers have magnets on the back of them, and the gold bits are in Pokemon badges. They are meant to be necklace pendants. I do not have chains for them yet, but I will....eventually. Been a bit disorganized lately, so my life is mildly chaotic.<br />

So I have a bunch of finishes and a WIP. First up, the Chandelier WIP. Presently, all of the cross stitching is done!! All that's left is the back stitching and the beading. The beading is going to take FOREVER!!!<br />

I made this next for a former co-worker for his birthday/going-back-to-college gift. It's the logo of his favorite baseball team.<br />

I made this one for a different former co-worker as a wedding gift. It was stitched on ivory fabric with hunter green floss and a rose colored floss. I messed up the date in this picture, but I have since fixed it to the correct year.<br />

Then I participated in this years Sept/Oct Sprite Stitch mini swap. I made this on 28-ct evenweave. I only regret not doing more for this swap. However, I am glad that the person who received it liked it.<br />

My last finish for the night is a birthday gift for my BFF, who loves the more classic books and poetry, so I made this for her. She also picked out the pattern when I visited her in July, so I thought it would make a nice birthday gift. It's a little late, but that's because I had it custom framed and that took longer than it should have. I wasn't able to get a picture of it framed. I would stitch this again in a heartbeat if I had a reason to.<br />

I would have liked to have finished the border, but I ran out of the floss. It's going to take a while to get it since it takes a "special" trip to my local cross-stitch shop to get. I know I could get it online, but I don't want to. I'm a little weird like that.<br />

The reason for this is that I'm working white on white and it doesn't show very well in pictures. However, I am now done with the white and have been working diligently with other colors that will help the white pop out a little better.<div>

So I first got decals and a bumper sticker. Then, I made a Master Sword hanging thing for the rear view mirror. Then I bought seat covers and stitched Zelda stuff and the headrest covers. The pictures are self explanatory.<br />

I also finished my last entry for the June/July 2013. It's the Hyrule Crest. I'm not as happy with it as I initially was when I was planning it out, but it's still okay. I worked it out so that it correlates with the spiritual stones and sage medallions. I had to be a bit creative with a few of them.<br />

I also have two pieces done for the current Sprite Stitch challenge. The challenge was to take the given outlines of video game logos and color them in like a coloring book. It's a two month challenge and I'm not sure if I'm going to do another one or not. I choose to stitch the Kingdom Hearts logo and one of the Zelda logos.<br />

The only excuse I can give is that I lost a touch of steam back in January after completing the Midna piece and have only just recently found the motivation to stitch again. Don't get me wrong, I've been keeping busy with work, car troubles, Skyrim, and my new-found elation with losing weight (15 pounds!!), but those things don't seem to be a good enough excuse. So I am back, for the time being.<br />
<br />
As noted, I finally finished Celtic Noel, to my mother's delight. I know it's few months late, but better late than never. I finished the beading on it Monday, May 13th, 2013. I have provided detail shots of the beading. Hope you enjoy!<br />

It took a while to think of something creative for each person and then make a pattern for each person, but they all turned out all right. I plan on giving these gifts on Valentine's day. It's going to be a long week, but I'll be glad to see their faces when I give them out. I made nine gifts in all. They're all small and simple to make it easy on me.<br />

I had fun making them. The only dilemma was the hoop. I bought online but they didn't come with a backing so I had to improvise. I made a back with cardboard from an old shoe box I had lying around. I kind of had to do it freehand, which explains the odd shape of some of the framed items.<br />
<br />
Now for patterns. Same type of deal as last posts patterns.<br />

I know it's been a month since I posted last. I am very sorry for this. I have, however, been keeping busy. I decided to do this months Sprite Stitch challenge and I just finished the project today. The challenge was to create a portrait and frame it. I decided to stitch a portrait of Midna in her true form. I have WIP pictures for you all to peruse. Her finished size is a 7 inches wide and a whopping 12 inches high! The only thing that bothers me is the fact that the color for her face is off due to the dye lot changing on me between skein changes. Darn you, dye lots!!<br />

I have a brief update in the Chandelier piece. I stopped to do the challenge piece and I had a little counting error in the top right corner that I need to resolve. I have yet to finish Celtic Noel, but I will start working on that again soon.<br />
