I restarted with full x.

SOAP! SOAP! SOAP!

Im going to use 18ct aida for my next start and I did lots of serious research about this fabric. I did some tests on it including measuring the count before and after wash, and measuring the count with stitches in before and after wash. On the piece without stitches in, it measured perfectly 18ctx1...

I love working on this one.

Its been 4 months since my last update! Have been busy working on my HAEDs. Just got back on this on on Tuesday 4/8 and I hope to finish all the full crosses by the end of the week. Here's a pic as of August 4 2016: http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p569/Monandjeff/Mobile%20Uploads/20160805_005256...

Does anyone know about how to join the HAED FB group?? It's kind of weird to ask cuz I started a new fb account for the cross stitch thingy with a long name indicating my user name both in here and yuku bb. After I sent my first request I got rejected. I sent it again and rejected again. I tried to ...

Look amazing! The color blend is like a dream!

I mean the floss on the floss card from kits like Dimensions, especially kits using non-DMC floss. When you finish your kits how do you organize/store the left-over floss?? Using bobbins?

I stitched 400 stitches last night! which is quite a lot for me on a normal working day as I work fulltime and only have at most 4 hours of stitching eveynight. Hope I can finish page 1 this week. Its so exciting to get things done.

I think it's time to share with you my first HAED wip!. It is Foxglove Ball by Aimee Stewart. I *planned* to start it on the first day of 2016 as I thought I should start something new and big in the beginning of a new year. But I did not like the 25ct DMC evenweave I bought so I ordered another pie...

I tried gridding but don't really like it. I found that most of the frogs visit me when I am super tired and still stitching late at night.

She is absolutely beautiful. Love the details on her face and wings. Cant wait to see her done!

Frog visits me EVERYDAY

I guess I am the only one doing this chart :dance: Here is what I've done in the past 3 days. Only got 2 hours of stitching everyday and frogged on the first 2 days. It seems I have good progress and my speed increased A LOT compared to using full crosses :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: ! ht...

I love the color and pattern on the giraffe!

This is absolutely beautiful. The fabric you have chosen for this makes it perfect!

I use my pair of beauty scissors which I used for cutting false eyelashes. They are extremely sharp and tiny and good for snipping the tiny thread ends close to the fabric.

Wow this is lovely! Can't wait to see more of your update!

Hello~ It's me again. Just want to know is there any one of you doing HAED freebie "Sabrina baking elf"? I am planning to start this one. She may look a bit scary to some of you but to me she is such a cutie =) haven't stitched anything like this before so I think I may give it a try. I wi...
