Page 2 - DONE!

So the day has come! 
All you're wonderful comments and inspiration really gets me the will to keep on stitching; the last week I've felt like I've been a little slow on the stitches and haven't really gotten that  "YAY, LET'S STITCH"-feeling that I usually have. But all your joy helped me push to the goal and the second page has come to an end.
I must say that starting with the pin stitches also helped, before I always made a big mess of all the threads that had to be secured and so on.

Here comes a little photo of the progress; it's really starting to look like something now, and it's so fun to see all the details show up before your very eyes!


I've already started on the third page, so hopefully you'll get another update soon :)
Have a great day/evening and wish you will come back for more!

Progress!

I'm quite the slow stitcher. I've been stitching for about 10 hours divided over yesterday and today, and I've gotten about 400 stitches done.
I guess (or more like hope) that it's because I'm not used to this big projects, and that I'll get my speed up later on. But sometimes I just get frustrated and it feels like I'm getting nothing done in a lot of time. Do you ever feel that way? What do you do to ease that feeling?

Anyway, I think it's time for a new WIP-pic, looking at the last one I've actually come a long way (not at all talking against what I just wrote). It makes me feel a little better anyway.


As you can see, It's beginning to actually look like something now! And finally I get to do a little more than just blue, and blue, and blue. :)

Since I'm new at this platform, I'd love for you all to share you're blogs with me so I can follow you on your journeys! 

Have a great day/evening/night or whatever it is when you're reading this!

A real stitching day

Hey guys, it's great to see some activity on the blog, people commenting (sure it's not a lot lot, but it's something, and that's better than nothing. It puts a smile on my face), I get visits everyday and that makes me want to keep updating more and more!

Today has been a real stitching day; I've been in the sofa for hours stitching away. I've reached my first confetti spot, I thought I reached it earlier, but that's nothing like this spot. I've got about 23 colors in a 20x20 square, it's threads everywhere!

Working on the 25ct takes some time, with the small squares it sometimes feels as if I'm not making any progress at all, even if I stitch for several hours.
If you feel like me I strongly recommend that you start taking photos everytime you put down your work for the day. That way you can really see your progress. :)

Foxglove is growing

WIP Foxglove

Hi guys! It's been a while since my latest update, but honestly, if I updated everyday, you wouldn't see any difference at all! ;)
But this is as far as I've gotten right now, it's about 6 000 stitches if I've been counting correctly; it's 25 ct evenweave so the grids on my magic guide fabric is 20x20 instead of the usual 10x10.

In other news I've started looking for some simple chrismas patterns, I want to get in the spirit. :) So if you guys have some awesome tips, feel free to share in the comment section!
