Flower Pot - update page #2 complete

I finally finished page #2 of this project.  The confetti stitches were driving me crazy.  I'm hoping the rest of the top row will be better with more bigger blocks of color.  It's mostly green leaves so it shouldn't be so bad right?

The Accolade - page #2 complete

I finally finished the page for this project.  I'm not exactly thrilled with how it is turning out.  This is one of the original patterns for HAED and it only has 50 colors.  All their charts now have 90 colors at least.  They have since recharted this piece to have 90 colors but I have the original version of the chart.  While working on this page I've been tempted to stop and restart with the recharted design (I got the chart when they posted that they found an error on it.  I had already started this so I asked for a replacement chart.  That's when I found out they had recharted it because the replacement one didn't match what I had.) but I've but so much time already into the project it would seem like a waste of time, not to mention the fabric and threads already used.  I'm hoping it will look better once more is done.

Crimson Omen - 3 pages done

I finished another page on this project and I LOVE how easy it is to stitch.  I wish I had started all of my larger projects in tent stitches instead of doing some of them as full stitches.  Things would be going so much faster if I did.  I think there's only a page and a half left for this top row.  Even though I'm working on this as a thank you gift for a friend I love it so much it's going to be very hard to give it away when done.  I'd love to do another one for me but I've got so many other projects I'd like to do I don't know if I have the time to repeat one.

Japanese Beauty #1 - update

So I've (almost) finished another page.  Everything is done on the page except a small section of hair that I'll wait to do when I do the top page.  That way there won't be a page line showing through the stitches.

City of Swords update

So I've finished my second page on this massive project.  I think any time you finish a page on a HAED project you should celebrate . . . even if it's only a very small (and only 2 colors) page.  At least it's progress.  The next actually has more colors to work with.  What will I ever do?

(When I scanned it I really didn't think it was that crooked on the scanning bed.  Oh well.)
