HAED - Krystal (updated 09/26/13)

Post by LadyS »

Time to start my WIP for my second ever HAED project, Krystal, by Fred Winkler. I'm not usually into fairies and the like but the colors and airy feel of this piece spoke to me. If/when I have a daughter, I know this will be in her room, but if I don't, I have absolutely no idea what to do with it! Maybe my brothers will give me a niece at some point! :thinks:

Stitching it on 25ct Antique White Lugana, 2 x 1 tent stitches.

I actually put my first stitches on this back in October, but I stopped to finish a lot of small projects I had going on, and am only getting back to this now. I'll be returning to my Starry Starry Night once I finish the first page on this.

And here's my start!

Yeah, I started doing that when I saw these BAPs would take me years, even though I know I'm not stitching on them continuously at least I have an idea of how long it's been since I "broke ground" on them. :P

This is gorgeous! Love how to tree is starting to come along!

And I do the same thing you do! I like the look of something but its not necessarily my style so I know I may have a daughter of my own who would love it or a niece eventually lol. Fingers crossed!

Great idea putting the start date too! I might have to start doing that!
