Hi everyone,
I'm still here (Yayyy - haven't gone missing yet :)) and I've been stitching and today I finished the first colour on the birth sampler I'm making for my niece Lickle Teddy - A bit Sleeping.
And what does this means.... It means no more white to do and I can jump to somo colour (as I've actually done) at the top you can see the start on one letter. I must admit I did it even before I finished the white as I decided to do an experiment for the name and add some bling.
This is what I decided to do:
A couple of close-up piccies trying to show the bling (it's much prettier in real life)
And this is how it's looking now:
(Sorry for the crappy light piccie - but the day wasn't that great for pictures) But in this one you can actually see all the antique white I've stitched.
So I've stitched 3099 out of 8100 stitches which makes 38.26% complete. Now I just have to stitch 12% more to complete both my realistic goals for January :)
Thanks for stopping by,
Happy Stitches

This is what I decided to do:
I have some really shinny gutermann that I want to use to replace the Kreinik on HAED (instead of Kreinik I use one thread of this + 1 thread of B5200 and I get the bling less the Kreinik hassle :) - win win situatuin) so I thought why not add it to the thread that goes for the name.... and so I did it...
And this was the result:

Great stitching. You have loads done on this one and the bling looks lovely.
Very sparkly and well done on getting through all the white:)
Gosh, that's a lot of white.
Great to see you back Sara :) Wonderful progress - I never realized that the LT designs were so complicated - it'll be a heirloom for sure. And I *LOVE* the Gutermann you used, it looks holographic!!! When you have a minute, would you mind sharing the colour number?! I'd really like to try this out myself - so shiny ;)
(Apologies for the double post)
Love all the sparklies!!! I have to use kreinik in my HAED pieces this year. I've never used it before, and I'm kinda freaked out about it. I have heard its a pain in the wazoo!! Wish me luck! Your piece is lookin' great!!
Beautiful sparklies! Perfect touch. Your piece is going to be simply gorgeous.
The gutermann thread looks fantastic and does give it a nice shiny bling.
Ooooh, I like, I like!!! :D
