another great Bleach cross-stitch pattern from littlemojo (who is still MIA and whose site is gone as well) I admit it, I skipped on stitching all the white. Why, you ask? Because once I started stitching it, the color was more off-white than white, which I blame on the fact that I stitched on white Aida instead of some other color, like green, which I need to use up. Not sure exactly what...

XXX pictures for your viewing pleasure.

I posted these pictures to cross_stitch   yesterday, but I thought I'd share them here as well.  I completed the fifth block of BoINK.  It took me 3 evenings to stitch.  One of the nice things about stitching over 1 on 25ct is that the piece is so much smaller and quicker to stitch.  :D Close up of fifth block. Entire piece so far. I'd like to get some colour into the border...

(x-posted to cross_stitch Cinderella progress Before: Now, just a little bit done :

like a lot of people, i sneak reading my flist in at work, except for some communities that are NSFW or picture-heavy.  two of my 'night-time' reading list comms are weepingcock  , and cross_stitch  . two very different comms.  both of them tend to be very active.  so when i bring up the flist, posts from them are often intermingled without any other comm's post to break them up...

I've gotten a bit done on this, especially during the "Stitch 'til Midnight" event last Friday at Handmade Memories: Had a bit of frogging to do as I have trouble placing those wall paper motifs correctly.

First, a WIP update of Lavender. I worked on it yesterday while I was sick, so got a bit done in between bouts of distraction: Had trouble locating a handy coin, so I used my Thread Heaven box for scale instead. :) This is such a sweet project, I'm glad I picked it up. Now for the fun part. An LJ friend of mine posted some pics of the purses and bags she's been making. I found out ...

A bit late as usual with my update pictures... Here's where she was And here's where I finished up after the SAL. Bluebeard's Princess WIP VI I've been working on her upper body a bit...her face looks really good. It'll probably look better once she has eyes, though... And now she has beads in her hair! A...
