White Lightning - FINISHED!

Post by Fljotsdale »

I so much admired Meerkat's White Lightning Tiger, that she very kindly sent me her chart - I can't imagine how she could have an unmarked chart! - and I have now started it too.

Image

I have done a bit more since this was taken, actually, and have got as far up as the eyes, one of which is done; I shall probably do the other today, then post an update.

I'm sorry to have been away so long, but I just haven't wanted to to do the internet thing very much; for one thing, I have a new PC game that has been taking up a lot of my computer time... :oops: :wink:

:lol: I don't think I marked mine either though... I have trouble marking charts with colors.. I panic thinking I'll make a mistake at some point and will have no idea what color a that really was or something... It's looking great so far!!! :applesauce:

Fab start!

I mark my charts, with pencil, shade in the squares, I can rub it out if i have to frog. I do tend to make working copies though....

It is lovely to see you have started White Lightning Fljotsdale and you've made a fantastic start :applesauce: I made working copies, that I magnified, so I could see the symbols, which were well and truly worn out by the time I finished with them.
Looking forward to your updates.

Nice start! I have this kit back in my dorm room - well, the storage facility holding all the stuff for my dorm room. I haven't started it, though. Yours is looking great! :)

Thanks, everyone! :D
Will post update tomorrow. I have done the other eye. I'm stitching it for my youngest grandson (8yrs), who adores cats of all kinds.

Carole, I'm playing Dragon Age: Origins. I have 'the Ultimate Edition' pack, with Awakening and all downloadable content. It's an RPG, and I'm loving it! It's been out for some time, but it's new to me - lots of swordfighting and magic and blood everywhere! And a couple of dragons to justify the title, too. :wink: But also some really good interaction with other characters on your team, they have very different personalities and will strongly disagree with your character - even fighting with you or leaving you if they disagree enough. It's great fun to play.

Probably not a good idea but I have bookmarked the page where I can get the mac edition.
So, I'd best go back to my HAED right now and think about this. I haven't played that kind of computer game since way so long ago when I had one of the earliest Hitchhiker to the Galaxy games (without graphics but oh so much fun to play)

But I really do like your cross stitch :applesauce:
