HAED progress

Here is my first progress picture on  HAED SK Winter. 

Onto a rotation now of Love Letter. I'll be working on this for the next couple of months.

Love Letter Update

Just finished a rotation on Love Letter by Golden Kite.  Can't wait to see the blue of the dress appearing, should happen in the next rotation. 

Right now I'm kitting up HAED SK Seasons Winter.  I've got the next week off work so hoping to make some progress.

I had to give in and buy yet another HAED as they are having a 25% sale.  don't know when I;m going to get everything stitched.  I've bought Josephine Wall's Spirit of Winter.  This was one of the first HAED I fell in love with.  This will have to wait until I've finished GK's Love letter, hopefully around the middle of next year.

Here is my plan for rotation:

May 2011 - finish page 14 of Love letter

June 2011 - start SK Seasons Winter

July/August 2011 - finish page 15 and 16 of Love Letter

September - start Little Kitten

October/November - finish pages 16 and 17 of Love letter

December - SK Seasons Winter

New rotation and new HAED

I've given in to temptation and bought more HAED designs.  I'm bored already with Madeleine after Prayer so thinking of consigning her to the UFO pile so I can start the HAED.  The one I want to start next is SK Seasons Winter.  I also want to start Little Kitten.

GK Love Letter

So here it is, my first ever blog. I thought this would be a great way to keep track of stitching progress and its frustrations and celebrations.  Cross-stitching is my way of relaxing.  I can't sit and just watch TV,I have to do something with my hands so cross-stitching keeps me busy and I relax at the same time.

At the moment I am stitching Golden Kite patterns - Love Letter and Madeleine after Prayer, but have just bought some Heaven and Earth designs which I am really keen to start.  Only problem is it is going to take years to finish just one project.  I have been trying to limit myself to two projects but with the acquisition of HAED I am changing that to 3 projects.  To ensure I get something finished I'm going to concentrate on GK's Love Letter, doing 2 pages, before doing 1 page of the next project, then back to Love Letter.  I figure this way I should finish Love Letter around September next year, a bit over 3 years afgter starting.  I thought I'd start HAED's SK Winter when i have  weeks holiday in June - can't wait to get it started.
