I'm only working on two of my WIPs right now, and I think I'll continue doing so until I get more of the SAL done so I have time for another one.
Speaking of SALs, the one I'm doing is being hosted by Peppermint Purple, and I'm using the Turquoise set of colors.
Here is where I was last week:
Here is where I'm at now:
I'm stitching this on 25ct Lugana in Natural by Zweigart and sold by Artiste. I'm using the called for colors in DMC. The two blues are #312 and #3765. This coming week will add a third blue - #3809. It has some green in it so moving towards the more turquoise colors now. My stitch count in up to approximately 6219. I'm stitching 2 over 1 for the cross stitches.
Once I complete the inside of the borders around the center, I'll have more time to work on my third project - Stitchinati.
The Land Baby is my original full cover project which is a year old now. It's my oldest WIP to date. Here is what it's supposed to look like when it's done:
Here is what my project looked like last week:
Here is where I am this week:
I'm hoping the baby's face comes out a little better when I start working on the rest of her, but it might now - it's just how it was charted.
I'm doing this project on 18 ct Aida in White sold by Charles Craft. I'm using all DMC colors. My stitch count is up to 2700 for this second part, and I'm doing 2 over 2.
There's a lot of confetti in this area as the colors swirl and striate to show the rocks behind the baby. I'm sure there will be a lot more confetti in the rest of the piece to show details just like in the first section. I don't mind it since it means I don't have to do any back stitching.
Next week, I hope to have more progress on Stitchinati to show you. I'll be working on the border of the SAL to get it done before I move on. I don't plan to do the outside border until I finish the inside part.
HAUL
In all the Flosstubes I watch, they have a section where they show off things they've bought either in person or online. I recently ordered something from AliExpress, something I have never done before, and I did it because it's A) Halloween and B) it's a witch and C) she's green. I love the color green, as well as Halloween and witches so this is a win tripled.
If this is a knock off of a known designer's work, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due as well as buy from them directly next time. I tried to look this one up before posting, but AliExpress is the only place I saw it for sale.
That's it for me this week. Keep an eye out next week for more fun stuff to see,
See you on the flipside and don't forget your towel and sonic screwdriver!!
