Disney Princess Portraits

I've had this pattern for a long time now and I figure I should probably get it done before my niece is too old for Disney Princesses.  I don't have a final picture to show so you'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.  This is done on 18ct Aida from Silkweavers Fabric.  I don't remember the name and now I can't find the packaging to tell me.  If I figure it out I'll post it later.  This is 2x1 full.

My progress so far: (can you tell which princess it is?)

Winter in the Village - update

I finished another building (except for the backstitching) and was having so much fun with it I decided to work on the next building over and finish that before I start the backstitching.  Once I made the grid lines every 5 lines instead of 10 it's been much easier.  At least now the dark grid lines match the pattern. 

16ct Aida, 2x1, full

City of Swords - update

So I wanted something easy to do while working on the project I started for my dad (more on that later).  What could be easier than tent stitches.  I actually ended up doing 3 pages worth of stitches before I moved on to other projects. 

28ct Evenweave 2x1 tent stitches

I think there's only 2 1/2 pages left on the row and then I have to do full pages.

Winter in the Village - new start

I've wanted to do a seasonal design for a long time.  I picked this one since we really don't have a true winter season here and I miss the snow (except for driving on it). 

The design is Winter in the Village (I have all the seasons and will eventually do them all).  I'm doing it on 16ct Ivory Aida in 2x1 full stitches.  I'm also going to do the backstitch for each building once I've finished them.  Kind of like what I did for the Traffic Sampler.

Here's what it should look like:

Here's the first building done:

The Last E Ticket Ride page 3 comlete - update

So one of my HAED BB goals was to finish page 3 on this project in 2012.  I didn't finish until January 8th but that's close enough for me.

The center line on the pattern was on this page so I'm half way across the top of the design.  That was encouraging since I'm averaging about one page a year.  At this rate I'll be done in another 30 years or so.  I'm hoping to up the tempo but I've got a lot of other projects I'm working on as well.  The confetti in the castle was much worse than the confetti in the stairs.  I wonder why that was.

Japanese Beauty #1 - update

I was so focused on getting my xmas gifts done that I forgot to take pictures of some of the ornaments and frames to post here.  I also forgot about some updates of the other projects I've been working on.

I was able to finish the first page of this project around the end of September/first part of October.  As a reward I started another project, but more on that later.  When I started filling in all the color on her kimono I was worried you wouldn't be able to see the flower designs.  I don't think it's as visible as what's on the pattern booklet but at least you can see them.

More ornaments done

I'm almost done with my ornaments.  Here's just "a few" I've finished recently.  Some have the names on them already because I made them specifically for that person.  The others don't have the names because I either a) didn't know who they're for, or b) forgot to stitch the name before I took them out of the hoop.
