Wipocalypse and TUSAL update - July 2014 (two months worth)

Hello all,

I have internet again! Feels very strange to be able to access emails and other necessities of life in a few moments. I am going to move South in September, so desperately trying to find a place to live. It is harder than I originally thought. Oh well, persevere, persevere, persevere.

This is belated (nothing new). So hopefully I can get all the late July posts out of the way and move on to the promised giveaway. But before I can do that I do need to look at my stash again, just to see what I no longer need.

First up is TUSAL ... with the baby orchid. Remember I have mentioned that one of my orchids had a baby (or keiki as they are known), well this young plant that has been potted on its own for only 5 months has now flowered!

Almost there. A bit more on the hair and leaves and a page finish is slowly coming along.

There is not much progress on this one, but some progress is better than none, and after almost two years of no stitching this is now hopefully turning into a wip.

I have a few starts as well:

and thats how huge the entire design is!

I know my starts are a little pathetic, but hey ho maybe they will grow by the next update.

Till soon,




P.S. in view of Wipocalypse question (always forget them). I haven't started any Christmas stitching. Not sure when (or even if) I will get around to that.

  4. Christmas Candle is looking good as are your - how many? - four new starts! It's good to see some smaller pieces alongside the larger ones. And your new starts are not pathetic! Every stitch counts and as they're new starts there's obviously not a lot of progress to see yet! :)

  5. Love the orchid, it's beautiful!

    You've made quite a bit of progress overall, although it may not seem like much when you look at each project, when you think of them all together it actually adds up!
