My current stash list

This doesn't include random kits that people gave me when I was a lot younger and I never finished. It does include everything else. It's not too big yet, hopefully will stay that way.

Slot 1 (Medium pieces)
HAED Angel Virtues. There are 8. At the moment I'm only aiming to do the first three. The others might come later

• Faith
• Hope (WIP - 1 page done)
• Love
• Joy
• Peace
• Wisdom
• Courage
• Grace (Belinda - sister wants me to stitch this for her one day)

Slot 2: (Large non-HAED pieces)
This is currently for the Days of Dragons, which I haven't bought yet. I'm being good.

• Noon Basking (WIP - 3/4 done I think?)

Slot 3: (Small pieces with more than one page)
This is basically for HAED QS projects at the moment. If I get more similar charts, they'll come here too.

• Periwinkle Fae (WIP)
• Buttercup Kitty Fae
• Kimono Fae
• Red Witch

Slot 4: (BAPs)
At this point in time they're all HAEDs.

• Froggy Frog World (WIP)
• Flights of Fish Fancy
• The Storykeeper
  

Miscellaneous small pieces:
These are just small things that I work on for other reasons - gifts etc

• Caitlin's Dear God things (WIP - 1 done, 1 to finish)
• Santa Paws (Margaret Sherry)
  

My rotation

I have a four project rotation, and I'm keeping it that way, unless I get a huge number of projects that deserve their own catergory or something. I'm determined that that won't happen, but we'll see. Here's how it works:

Slot 1:
Medium sized piece. At the moment this is my Hope Angel.
Slot 2:
Large piece with backstitching/non HAED. At the moment this is Noon Basking (dragon).
Slot 3:
Small piece with more than one page ie HAED's QS projects. At the moment this is Periwinkle Fae.
Slot 4:
HAED BAP. At the moment this is Froggy Frog World.

And more stash...

I was naughty and bought another chart, this time from Dragonfly Dreams. A very sweet Christmas chart from Margaret Sherry called Santa Paws, who I'd like to get done in time for Christmas - okay, I can dream...
And I also got this beautiful lady witch who I won as a random prize from the new start SAL on the HAED board:


I'm thinking I'll get through a bit more on my rotation, then maybe start her for the QS Wednesday SAL. Maybe.

Periwinkle Fae Week 4

Here she is - lots more background, and two more leaves, some more hair...the usual, though the leaves were fun. And that blurry bit on the right hand stem above them is going to be another leaf.

Periwinkle Wk 3 and Frogs after SAL

Here's the beautiful periwinkle fae, so very close to half a page done. I got distracted from posting up the update on Friday by a New Start SAL on the HAED BB and forgot entirely, so I'm posting it today, and will post my usual Friday update this week as well. My Frogs have 1600 stitches done now, two rows of 10x10 blocks on a page, and lots of sparkle thread, not bad for a weekend, and I'll post a picture of that here as well. It's a shame to have to put them away for a while, but the fairy will have a page done on her soon, and then I'll pick them up again. They look rather lovely - well the background stuff that I've done does anyway! It'll be another three pages after this one before I see frog, but I can wait. The colours are very soft, and I didn't like the look of the sparkle next to the soft colours at first, but it looks amazing from a distance and passable from close up (right under my nose, where I stitch!) now so that's okay. I'm looking forward to not having the huge expanses of glitter thread to stitch soon, it's just a bit much to do massive amounts.

Hope Angel Virtue - 1 page HD!

Here's my beautiful angel, with two half pages - the equivalent of a page, since I didn't want to split the rows while working on linen. She's got a face now, and she's breathtaking...it's so much fun stitching her. I've used the kreinik in the wings, but her dress is white and calls for a lot of sparkle - I'm going to use the DMC glittery stuff that I'm using for the fairy and will use for Troy's frogs instead in the dress, and the kreinik for everything else, because the kreinik isn't that bright white and I think the DMC will look better.

So without further ado, here she is:

Periwinkle Fae Update (2 weeks)

Here's some more fairy - way too much fairy, really! Lots and lots of background, and some more stem, with the beginning of another leaf. And the locks have started to cross over in the hair. The holes in the leaves are still there, I need to go shopping and get that last colour.

New Start (Periwinkle Fae)

I've started Periwinkle Fae for this holiday, even though I haven't finished the page on Hope yet. I just didn't want to take her on holiday, so I'll finish that page when I get home.

Here's a picture of her at this point (updated when I got home):
