#345 - HAED Mini Bouquet - washed and pressed

Not the only thing growing in my garden, this delight finally has the gird lines removed, and smells divinely floral after the spa treatment.

#344 - HAED Mini Bouquet - 100% - Finished

 

Oh yes, finally she is done.

… and just in time for Switch-out Sunday when the new rotation starts. 

Focus: HAED Alpaca (AP) - three weeks

Mini WIP A - HAED Aquarius (AQR) - two weeks

Mini WIP B - HAED Magic Book (MB)  - one week

I’m not sure how I will work in a new start, probably when a full size piece is done I will start a new one in the focus slot after one full rotation through the Minis,  and any Mini finish will move see the B WIP move up to A position and the new start will become slot in at the B position.  Hope that makes sense?

So I will switch out to the Focus later this afternoon, which makes me ridiculously happy as I have missed Alpaca, with three weeks work on it, I am hoping for a nice bit of progress.

I’m also considering a smaller WIP for the 30 minutes I wait for my porridge each day that can be either stitched in hand or go in a Qsnap and sit on my Needle Needs stand, which is not being used since the Monstrik came into my life.  On say, a Button and Beads kit, I could achieve a fair bit in that time.

I’m off to take this beauty off the stretcher bars and put it send it straight to the kitchen sink for a spa day.  If you need details on the piece see post #277 published on 28th January 2022.

#340 - Cash to Curation

 

… I’ve done an enormous amount of the purchased/gifted thread that has been piling up, but it still seems like an un-ending marathon to get it all on Annie’s Keepers and stowed in the Master Thread storage.  So, whilst it is as hot as Hades today and heavy digging would be a step too far I’m going to “get her done” as my lovely American friends would say.

#336 - HAED Mini Bouquet - 88.15% completed

 

Lines 261. To 270 also completed, and I’ve managed to ge t the frame rolled up Tomane stitching a little more comfortable.

The stitches bottom right of the photo is the bottom right hand corner of the piece, so I am in sight of a finish.

#335 - HAED Mini Bouquet - 86.79% completed

 

Lines 251 to 260 have also been completed.

I’ve had to not so much roll up the frame, but reposition it, as I am at the outer reach of my magnifying light, and it was hurting in back leaning forward.  Ideally, I should have switched to my shorter stretcher bars, but they are in a “safe” place and I can’t lay my hands on them.  

I think if I can complete another two line rows, i.e. up to 280 there should be room to roll up to make life easier.

#334 - HAED Mini Spring

 

HELP ME ... she’s drowning me!

I hate this bit, you spend nearly a half a year, in this case, stitching something and then dunk it in very warm water ... and then wait with breath indrawn to see if you can get out the grid lines.
