QS Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate - Progress 01.05.11

More progress to report on my QS Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate:


I've been steaming through this one this week, but I've either run out of or misplaced one of the colours needed. I know I could stitch around it until I get some more, but I don't like working on a design knowing I'm missing one of the shades needed! So it's back to Siberian Tiger until I get some more in.

QS Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate - Progress

I've been working on this one again - I needed a break from Siberian Tiger!

Here's my progress, I'll be working on him some more this week so will hopefully have more progress to report later.

Butterfly Card - Finished

Here's the finish for the Mother's Day Card that I stitched last week - Mum loved it!



The chart is here if anyone would like to stitch it.

Siberian Tiger - Progress

This is another one of my many works in progress, and one which I've really been concentrating on recently (despite me being itching to get back to my QS Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate!).

I'm stitching this for my other half, Ian, who has been not-so-patiently waiting for about 3 years for it to be finished.

I restarted it a month or so ago, because I'd made a couple of mistakes and the stitches were looking frayed in places. So this is my progress on my new start - 25% complete. I'm stitching on 28 count ice blue brittany evenweave, which is lovely and soft.

Here's the progress picture.


I'm working across, so will be stitching the rest of his face soon.

25% Sale at Heaven and Earth Designs

A Spring Sale has started at Heaven and Earth Designs!

It's 25% off all charts, running until midnight on 17th April 2011.

I have about 20 charts on my wish list, which I seem to add to every time I pay the site a visit, so I'm sure I'll be making at least one purchase before the offer ends.

In particular, I have my eye on Afternoon Tea, Sea Beacon, The Scarecrow and Armada. But I may still pick something completely different - too many charts to choose from!

Butterfly Chart for Mother's Day

Next Sunday is Mother's Day, and with that in mind I've designed a little butterfly pattern to use for a card for my Mum (I'm not counting this in my resolution not to start any more kits until I've got my WIP's down - it'll be finished by this time next week!). I'll be stitching it on 16 count light blue aida.

Here's the chart should anyone else like to stitch it:
