Kitty Ears

In the last week I have finished one set of kitty ears and started on the second ear of another cat.

Last weekend I was working on Little China and finally got the head/face area finished and did some more work on the chest area. Lots of confetti greys to do on this one now before I get to the nice bright colours of the background.

My weekday project was one of this years Focus HAED pieces I'm working on Vampire Cat Vlad. Most of the sky on this page is done now and I have made a start on the wing area and his right ear. I managed just under 1000 stitches in 5 days bringing me up to 20.4% complete.

What Have I Been Doing?

I can't believe the last time I updated here was in April! I don't even seem to have done that much stitching in the past couple of months looking at the last few pictures I posted. It's a little bit depressing really ( I blame the True Blood books, spent far too long reading them)

This is my latest update on Vampire Cat Vlad. I've almost finished the second page now. The blues and purples have been fun to stitch as they are nice big blocks of colour. The greys and blacks have been slower as there is more confetti, although not nearly as much as on Chesterton.

Really looking forward to finishing page 2 as it will only be my second page finish on a HAED chart. It's also one of my stitching goals for this year so will give my a nice sense of accomplishment.

Back to Vlad

Managed to out in some work on Vlad again this week for the HAED BB UFO/SWIP SAL. Think I only managed to put a few hundred stitches in but at least I have put some work in on him, don't think I've touched him at all this year. He should look like this when (or if) completed.

Managed to grab some bargain Q Snap type frame off ebay the other day, now I'm just hunting for a good table stand to rest them on as they are a bit big for me just to hold in my hand. Once I track a nice stand down I think I'll have to stop with the X-stitch buying for a while :p

I'm hoping the new frames will let me stitch a little faster though, as it seems to take me forever to get even a little bit done :s
