October small update.

 Hello stitchers!

I'll be short with this update.
I'm here today to show you my most recent pic of my wip.

As usual, it's Window With A View MC that gets the spotlight.





I really, really like how the water reflects the trees and the castle... The swan and duck too! Near the seagull (i think it's one of them) there's a brown animal... What do you think it is? A cat? A big one? 



Oh! I've finished the 8th color of the project. Many more colors are still new on the bobbins, waiting impatiently to be used. I don't know if i'll finish some other color while stitching the current diagonal because i forgot to search the pattern for the little-numbered colors before starting it... It will be a surprise!



What are your thoughts and your stitchy plans? Let me know!


                                See you soon,

Start of September update.

Hello stitchers, how have you ben this summer?
Was it strange like the last one?

I've got some free time to dedicate at my main focus project, WWAVMC.

In the last days a diagonal has been completely stitched.
The book on the windowsill is taking shape as more colors were added. Aren't the pages cute?
And then I've started another diagonal right away, finishing the boat at the centre of the picture.
Then i was on a roll and had a good amount of stittches done in a couple of days. I'm amazed at what i accomplished despite the confetti stitching slowing me down a bit. I have a love/hate relationship with those little crosses representing the flowers but when i look  at the pics i take, i keep liking them more and more. 

I'll show you some pics now...







I can't wait to see more of the design coming to life, i need to speed up my pace and getting some good stitching done in the upcoming weeks. 


Lastly, Spiders Queen also came back out and were added some colors on it.
It may looks like not much was done, but it was only one stitching session and a progress, no matter how small is better than nothing.




I don't have other stitchy plans at the moment in regards of the Autumn-Fall/Winter season. What about you?

As aslways, take care of yourselves.
                                                   

                                                                  See you soon,

End of June.

Hello stitchers!

I'm back with another update... Yes, so soon since the last because i don't know when i'll be able to post again in the upcoming month.

I'm going to show you the progress on WWAVMC.

A pic of the WWAVMC wip.

Here there's the wip with a finished diagonal.


I've reached 151.030 crosses on this wip and i still have today to add some other crosses and colors.

If you look closesly, you can see the slope of terrain that enclose the water stream. I can't wait to stitch it. 

That's all for today. 


I hope to see you soon, until then take care, everyone!

One down.


Hello stitchers!

Since the last post many things have changed and many others are still the same.

I've been MIA and had to take a month-ish long hiatus from stitching (that's sad, i know), but now i'm back at it and i feel better.

You may think what the title means, right?
Well, while stitching in the first days of this hot June, I've come across the last stitches of a beautiful DMC color, 3814 and thanks to PK i know now that I have my first "0" on the first Max Colors of my stitchy life.

I'll show you one of the most recent pics i took of WWAVMC, with other diagonals completed:

Not to brag, but i think that's coming along pretty well. What do you think?

This is where i'm right now, with 149930 stitches completed.


The flower bush (or bushes?) are full of confetti stitches as flowers of varing dimensions colors and brightness. It's slowly going but what i didn't relize was the size of said bushes. They look pretty big overall.
 

Now i have to go, i want to stitch for a bit while i can. I need to make up for lost time on this wip.

I hope to see you all soon, take care of yourselves!

Bits of progress.

 Hello stitchers!

I'm here today to show you my overall progress for the month of March.
I stitched a bit less than what i would have liked, but there is still some more crosses than there were before, so it's alright.

Le's start once again with WWAVMC, my main focus project that is still screaming at me for attention. 

I stitched 300 crosses on seven diagonals going right because i felt i needed a change from all the greens, grays, browns and pinks. I took this little detour from the classic diagonals and was fully immersed in a world of colorful flowers (it's confetti filled but the beauty of the result was so worth it, in my opinion). 




In the pic above it was the end of last month, a week later I'm here, with another diagonal completed and a new one started:





As for Spiders Queen I've got nothing much to show, but a very small progress pic.


Added some of oranges for the hair, pink and dark colors to fill the empty spaces in the mask.




Do you have stitchy plans for this Sring?

STAY safe out there!

                                                        I'll see you soon,

First post of the new year.

 Hello stitchers!

Here I am today to present you the newest update on my, once again, stitchy project.

Last week i reached the halfay pont on WWAVMC, but I've got to post about it only now. Here's the pic of the milestone. I was proud of myself, but i know that completion is still far away. 





I think that in the next update we will se a bit more colors done and more of the green scenery behind/through the window glass.


What did you accomplished this January? I'm curious to know, let me now in the comments!


As always: take care, STAY safe, keep stitching and...

See you soon,
