Long Time, No See! :)

Good morning, Campers! How is everyone doing out there in Bloggerland? Me? I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Hasn't left any time at all hardly for stitching, as I have been just too tired to stitch. The other night, however, I got the urge to stitch again and managed to be able to sit down for more than half an hour. I pulled out a WIP (bordering on UFO!) and a Heaven and Earth Designs   project at that. I wanted color and a lot of it, and you cant beat a HAED for that, haha! There's 90 colors in this one, and every last one is bright and sunny and it makes me smile just to look at the project box. :) 

The last time I posted anything about this project was when I first started it. on June 3, 2011, so it's been a minute for this one. I am really, really loving working on this one and I haven't been able to put it down. Here is the update, with the previous picture for comparison. First, the particulars: 

Design: Shimmering Night

Designer: Heaven and Earth Designs for Ching-Chou Kuik

Fabric: 18 count aida in Antique White

Fibers: DMC as charted. Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid in PB10. 

Previously: 

As of last night:

What she will look like eventually, after 15 pages of stitching: 

I am VERY pleased with my progress on this one so far. The blues are so soothing to stitch and I am finding that the Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid in PB10 is perfect for the 18 count aida. And it's a lot less pain in the ass to deal with than the Kreinik! :D

Well, I best be off. Stuff to do before work and all. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! :)

And yet even more organizing...

On Monday of this week, I managed to injure myself at work by burning my thumbs, a tiny portion of the palm of my left hand and the middle finger of my left hand on a hot towel cabinet that someone had left on overnight. Massage therapy is not without its hazards, it seems. As consequence, I did go to the doctor and get some prescription burn cream and my hands are doing a lot better. I had yesterday and now today off, as the doctor was worried about an increased risk of infection, due to my middle finger not healing up as fast as the other sites did. I have not been able to stitch much, however, this bump in the road has given me a chance to get my HAED's organized and kit up a few more. Before I burned myself, I managed to get a bit more done on Rhiannon and start a new one.


Here's what I have so far:

Rhiannon:

Design: All Hallow's Eve


Designer: Heaven and Earth Designs for Jessica Galbreath


Fabric 18 count aida in Antique White


Fibers: DMC


Here is what I have so far:

WIP #2 Shimmering Night:


Design: Shimmering Night


Designer: Heaven and Earth Designs for Ching-Chou Kuik


Fabric: 18 count aida in Antique White

Here is what it's supposed to look like, fifteen pages of solid stitching later:

Here is what I managed to get in, prior to hurting myself:

I am loving the colors in this one and it's providing a nice contrast to Rhiannon. I also need to come up with a name for her, but I will let her choose, the same way my first one did :P~. This downtime will also allow me to get Silver Moon Storykeep kitted up. There was a member only coupon on the HAED message board over the Memorial Day weekend and I snagged this one as a small treat. She's really, really pretty and only has about 25 colors, LOL! :)


Well, I best be off. I need to study for my CEC test and get some breakfast. Hope everyone is having a good week! :)
