Summer Extravaganza Part 2
So it is part 2 post already, and this was the progress coming onto last Tuesday:
Hope it will start looking good soon, colours don't tend to blend at the moment, especially the greyish brown I am currently stitching.
Any sort of progress I have made seems insignificant with Snoopy's. Almost an entire page complete! And we have started at a similar time.
Till soon,

and now (admittedly not a very good picture with the flash - weather isn't at its best here at the moment):

Fizzy Moon and Summer Extravaganza
First of all there is an apology for the lack of the first post of Summer Extravaganza. I ended being a little more than snowed under with things to do. There weren't that much extra done to it from Monday, so for the last Tuesday update I think I will stick to that image ... which was:
part 1 |
I also have a finish from before to show off. I have completed this one a long while ago ... but was unable to post until I gave it as a Birthday present to mum. It is Fizzy Moon:
But otherwise that's all for now,

June and Wipocalypse
Two things have downed on me recently. When I was creating my brand new tab for Wipocalypse I have realised the following:
- I tend to pick one and stitch, with some projects still lying stored away.
- I only have 2 out of 18 complete. [next update marks half a year of stitching and this is a very sad number]
So something might have to change. Maybe a rotation (like I have noticed some of you bloggers do). And definitely more finishes are in order.
Thinking this, I have pulled more of them out and now have two finishes, two starts, and small progress on a few others ... so read on.
1) 'Handpicked by Fizzy' - I have provided some 14 count aida to aid my motivation.

I have braved the hatred of backstitching and finished this little fella.
4) Xmas Chums: Remember my dilemma about this one? Probably not ... it was so long ago. Well, the stitching is 10 squares lower than needed.

after some frogging |
I will remove the stitching and start again with this one. Almost ready to begin afresh. Then maybe gridding.
Last month I have bought some easy count gridding for my new HAED. So I went a little crazy with making my life easier with smaller projects ... which saw my first attempt at using the stuff for:
13) 'Meet Baby Newton' - my second finish that I am very proud of:
Notice ... all the backstitching done too
18) HAED This is a new addition to the wips. It will take a long time to stitch, so I thought it deserved to be added to this list. It is also something I am stitching for the Summer Extravaganza (with an update due tomorrow - I highly doubt there will be anything added to make a difference). Nonetheless here it is:
I am stitching it on the 18 count aida ... I think I will not name the design for now.
and behold an entire colour complete already.
12) The Snowman Card - a little progress ...

Well that is it for now. I have a summer exchange to concentrate on, and go crazy with my HAED in the spare time, so I envision a shorter update next month.
Until tomorrow,
