We moved all our beds downstairs, and have been sleeping in the living room. Feels like a camp out, and least we're avoiding the heat! Unfortunately, the fact all three of us are downstairs makes it hard to keep a lamp on/near me while cross stitching. It kept getting turned off... >.>
So, my IHSW wasn't as productive as I had hoped it would be. First up will be a WIP of the Fairy Silhouette, which I only managed to finished a wing and a half. It was too dark once I started working on it, which required me to hold the aida in an awkward position, so I successfully managed to hurt my arm. ... I haven't work on it since. XD
After I put down the fairy, I procrastinated for a little while. What to work on, what to work on? Eventually I decided to start on a Christmas present, since I had the pattern ready to go. I don't want to leave gifts until December, since then I don't have time for ANYTHING else. I learned.
That is the beginnings of a witch's hat. A Slytherin witch to be exact. ;) It's for the same person as the Fairy Silhoutte, who is a big Slytherin supporter. I'm going to adjust the colours so that it looks like her! Unfortunately, the pattern consists of a lot of black, so I was thinking I could make the hair green, even though that isn't her real life hair colour! (It's very dark.)
The pattern asks for 3 shades of black, one of which I don't have, so I'll need to go thread shopping. That also explains that blank portion of the top. Even if I don't get the necessary colour for a while, it'll be a lot less to stitch come December!
Not a whole lot to update with, but better than nothing! I'm still in a mood for stitching, so I'll take advantage of the early morning before it gets too hot! Till next time, xoxoxo

The silhouette is quite pretty! Her wings look very delicate and spiffy.
ReplyDeleteThank you! After leaving it for a few days, when I picked it up again, I was quite pleased with its outcome. I thought for sure the wings would be difficult to see, but in fact, they're quite noticeable!
DeleteYour fairy is coming along nicely - and good start on the witch.
ReplyDeleteYou can keep the heat, thank you. I am not a hot weather person at all.
Thank you very much! x3
DeleteHeehee, I adore the hot weather, so I don't mind. Unfortunately, a day after my blog post, the temperature dropped down, and now it feels like October!
Hello
ReplyDeleteYour stitching looks great!

DeleteI hope it cools down for you soon! Your stitching is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, it cooled down quite a bit this last week. It now feels as if it were October! But thank you very much! x3
