Dragon Fae 1 and Tree of Stitches

As the title says, that's what I've been working on this week, I've done a couple more stitches on Dragon Fae and completed my first page, and did a bit more, and managed to stitch up to Part 7 on my Tree of Stitches, I must say i'm really enjoying learning all the new stitches :)

And here are the pictures of my work

Two monthly goals completed

Today I manage to complete two more of the monthly goals I set for myself, making the bookmark for the swap-bot exchange, which I promise I'll share here after the person or whom was created receives, I'm not posting earlier because I don't want to ruin the surprise.

The second was completing the 1,5 rows on Dragon Fae 1, and now there's only another 1,5 rows to complete my first page on it... and for this one I have a picture to share :)

Also I want to share with you the graphic I created for the ornament I made and for which I posted pictures on my last entry here on the blog. Hope you like it!

What I've been up to..

Since the begining of the month, I've been stitching several things none of them finished yet , but on a good progress... So I almost completed one of the goals for this month, having 1,5 rows done on Dragon Fae

you can already see the horn of the dragon showing up and the faery's wing is taking shape :). And the only reason why I haven't finished it and started working on the next of the list is because I had to add two more projects to the list for swap-bot exchanges, they are going to be in some way similar because I haven't got much imagination when I don't have an idea what the people who is going to receive likes, and I don't want to wait until I know who my partners will be because I'm afraid that then I wont have time to finish :X...

Anyway I'm not going to show the progress pictures because I don't want to ruin the surprise.. (and I'm not sure what the final result will be :X) so I'll only show the colors I'm using for now...

Before starting the monthly goal

During this week, more precisely on Tuesday and Wednesday I've worked on Dragon Fae, and manage to complete almost two vertical rows, and now the tip of the faery wing and a part of the dragon horn are starting to show. I'm tent stitching the background (it really is fast) and doing the fairy and dragon on full cross-stitching and I can already see it popping from the background, unfortunately is a too small area to be visible on the picture.

Also, I started doing the freebie "Flower Fairy" from DMC, that came with the world of cross stitching, that a friend, Jenny, kindly sent me, and I'm really pleased wirh the progress I'm really enjoying it.  Here are the photos after 1 night stitching and after two night stitching.

I hope you like it.

Updates - Touch of Spring and a new start

Last Friday I got the best visit of the month. The postman came with a package for me, and guess what it was the stitching frame I had ordered, and as obvious I had to try it, specially when I had been containing myself from start Dragon Fae 1 until I received it, because I wanted it to be the first one to try the new framing system. I'm simply loving it. And I think I'm faster, although I can't actually compare it yet, because I'm stitching the background on tent stitch and I'll do the dragon and the fairy on full stitch.

Meanwhile I focused on Touch of Spring (until Friday) and I'm nearly finishing one more full page and one partial page. I must confess I'm loving it, the shadows on the hand are so gorgeous and it makes it seem so real.

And of course here you have the pictures:
