Updates on my current WIP: Magic Fire, Dunlee Darnum and Daenerys, tiny new start Impossibilium and STASH BAN BEGINS

Hi guys

I disapeared for a while, I know. I just really want to take my time and get something worthwhile to present on this blog.

OK, before posting pictures, I just want to announce that I am officially on a strict stash ban for a few months. BAN BAN BAN now sounds like BANG BANG BANG to me LOL. Pain in the *** So many lovely charts coming out from Tilton, Paine Free Crafts, Color Cascade and I am so torn for not  be able to get any of them. I have to squeeze budget for some personal matters. Anyway, meanwhile, I'll try to focus on my current W.I.P, to see whether I'll have another finish for this year.

Picture time:

MAGIC FIRE by Esmira (Paine Free Crafts): 3 pages done

Before

 After

DUNLEE DARNUM by JB Monge (Tilton Crafts): 6 pages done

Before

 After

DAENERYS (Love Thy Thread): 2.5 pages done

Before

 After

I also did a tiny bit new start on Impossiblium by Aimee Steward but so far only two rows of the first page done. Just way too much confetti and colors. Apart from that, my first time stitch on 32 count linen and I hate it. So I put it aside. Shy~~~

Here how it looks

I hope you all enjoy and please leave comments if you like it ~

Lots of love

Autumn SAL April Updates: not much done but more stash

Hi folks

Spring has sprung! Birds come to my window almost everyday to sing and tell me how beautiful it is when the sun is about to shine after a long long snowy winter. And I am so in the mood of enjoying the sunrise rather than ... well.. stitching 'Autumn'. A blob of dark red colors :((. I want something that I can smell SPRING. So I regret to say that I had abandoned this piece for a month, nope, not touching it at all until yesterday. So let me apologize if you're looking for a page done, I have only 800 stitches done this month and here it goes:

You can ask me what's the differences from last month? I know it looks not much different but I had one row done above the cellar. Does it look like a web of fire or smith? Lmao. By the way, do you notice there is a little cutie on the fabric? Just got this needle minder from No more lost needle - Lisa Simmons. It is very very handy and hold the chart/needles super well - Save me a lot of time picking up the chart while stitching.

Well, to increase my sin, I bought several new charts woohoo. I know I won't have several lives to finish them all but to satisfy my itchiness, just never mind lol
