Here is Santa as of 1/26/11

I try to stitch 1-2 hrs at night when I get home from work. On the weekends I try to do as much as I can this can be anywhere from 2-6 hrs and sometimes more. It also depends on the weather right now were are in the dead of winter so it's cold and snowy and there isn't much to do here. When the weat...

I absolutley love love love to read. I too was very skeptical about the e-readers. There is just something real about having a book in my hands. That being said I researched the e-readers and got some money for Christmas, and I too just joined the e-reader club. I bought a Kindle and I LOVE IT. I di...

I read about this challenge somewhere else. Good luck to all of you. I will be sitting on the sidelines watching all of you and rooting you on.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I only know to well how that loss feels. ((((((HUGS)))))

Just e-mail Michele and she will get a floss usage chart to you. Go to the HAED website and you should be able to get her e-mail from there. Also give it one or 2 days for her to respond.

I will be looking forward to your progress to see how it compares to my GK. Isn't it exciting getting a new pattern it's just like Christmas!!

Becca first off great work on the new project.
and second is that a Leonberger pup? I just love the breed and he looks like one.

Another update this is the first column completed

and this is the start of the second column

I tend to do a couple of stitches on the next page just to avoid that problem. For example if I am working down a column and I come to the last stitch I will look at the next page and see if I can find the same symbol. If I am going across and come to the end of that page I will get the next page ou...

Simply stunning you are moving right along. What amazes me so much about the HAED patterns are how lifelike they are like you could just reach out and touch it.

Wow you are moving along nicely. I love this design too.

I can get really bored when I am in a confetti section and all that changing threads but I plow through it knowing that this too shall pass. At the present time the pattern I am working on has alot of big block of colors so that is helping I kind of go from section to section in the pattern to see h...

Ask and you shall receive here is where I am at the moment http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv50/ohstitcher/crossstitch/th_DSC_0113.jpg and here is where I was showing the whole column http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv50/ohstitcher/crossstitch/th_DSC_0108.jpg The detail in this chart is amazin...

I am doing Arab Tent also but by Golden kite. You will love working on this and please let us see your progress. I would love to see how the 2 compare.

Liz I am so sorry that you are going through this I only caught up on this thread today. I work in a hospital and see so many patients that have cancer and have had chemo and radiation. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, it may seem like a long road and that the tunnel is dark for a long tim...

I am left handed but do everything righthanded except eat and write. I injured my right hand almost 2 years ago and it was tough stitching with my left hand but I did it!!!

I am actually satisfied with what I have gotten done this year. I finished a whole column of Arab Tent, and I finished one of my goals which was to finish a page of Christmas Presence (HAED) so I am satisfied oh plus there was a baby afghan thrown in the mix. I am not nearly done with AT or CP but p...

I have been working exclusively(sp) on 2 projects and plan on keeping it that way. I have way to many charts that I can't possibly ever finish in my lifetime so I think it best if I stick to what I have started and see where that leads me. That being said these projects are for me and me alone.

Thank you for all the lovely comments
