<br />
There was a reason why I wasn't going to put this HAED project on this blog, but now I can't remember why that was, so what the heck! I started it in January 2016 (along with most of the others I started), and this one is a gift for my Sister:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/24134867306/in/album-72157660613011163/" title="suteki001"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/1627/24134867306_03be3fb40b.jpg" width="500" height="217" alt="suteki001"></a><br />
I finished row 1 in March 2017 (before all my "fun" started), but it was a rough road to that row finish. <br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/33630595836/in/album-72157660613011163/" title="suteki020"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/2950/33630595836_3c225b93d4.jpg" width="500" height="208" alt="suteki020"></a><br />
Of all my projects, HAED and non-HAED, I literally HATE this project!! I don't know if it's because it's not my style, or if it's because it's not for me personally, or if it's because I hate all the confetti (which is the WORST I have EVER done), but this project literally gives me HIVES! It only has four rows total, and I thought it would be easy, but I guess that's what I get for thinking and, since it is for my Sister, I trudge on. I'm actually finishing up her rotation this week, so here is where I am now:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/49984968242/in/album-72157660613011163/" title="Suteki039"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49984968242_03379ab903.jpg" width="500" height="221" alt="Suteki039"></a><br />
Due to certain events happening in the U.S. right now, my attention hasn't really been focused on her (or stitching) at the moment, so I think it's time to shift her out. Another weird side note to her, she just will NOT photograph clearly, no matter which camera, phone or iPad I use! Weird that!<br />
<br />
And I think I'm all caught up now on my HAED project posts! Sorry about that...I'll try to do better in future!Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902784518422014592.post-2727020290604363762020-06-09T14:31:00.001-04:002020-06-09T14:31:43.359-04:00JBG - Faces of Faery 167 - 21.9 hrs<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/30422386142/in/album-72157662505108157/" title="167-000"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/5468/30422386142_ec8d5b5715.jpg" width="485" height="482" alt="167-000"></a><br />
<br />
In March of 2018, I started yet another new HAED (I'm at a point now where I have put a moratorium on any new starts until I finish one), Faces 167. I really started this one because I wanted to see what 32ct was like and, so far, not so bad! I started out strong:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/40047699214/in/album-72157662505108157/" title="Faces-001"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/4773/40047699214_e87efb251a.jpg" width="500" height="195" alt="Faces-001"></a><br />
But then all that "fun" work stuff got in the way, and she got left behind as of June 2019...she's coming up though soon in rotation, so more love is coming her way!<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/48121596838/in/album-72157662505108157/" title="Faces-006"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48121596838_4ae664e1c4.jpg" width="500" height="197" alt="Faces-006"></a><br />
In the end, due to the 32ct, she's going to be REALLY tiny, 7" x 7", so I'm kind of excited to see how that looks!Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902784518422014592.post-14910880143906095922020-06-09T14:25:00.000-04:002020-06-09T14:25:01.841-04:00Sleepy Hollow Mural - 140.22 hrs<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/7182160701/in/album-72157632862333706/" title="Sleepy Hollow Mural"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/7213/7182160701_4955e3aaa4.jpg" width="485" height="212" alt="Sleepy Hollow Mural"></a><br />
<br />
I left off on this one in May 2017, partly because of all the other reasons I gave on the other projects, but partly because I just hated the Q-Snaps so bad, I couldn't stand the thought of messing with them! Here is where I left off:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/34361125842/in/album-72157632862333706/" title="Hollow015"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/4188/34361125842_d4a09349ca.jpg" width="500" height="302" alt="Hollow015"></a><br />
I finally got so fed up with it, I cut the sides of the material down, folded it inwards, and took my very longest scroll rods and somehow managed to make the project fit on them! I have to use another lapstand that's not very comfortable, but it's still better than the Q-Snaps and I can finally see the whole project I'm working with! So here is where I am as of May 2020:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/49886962096/in/album-72157632862333706/" title="Hollow031"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49886962096_5dbf36a571.jpg" width="500" height="103" alt="Hollow031"></a><br />
The rows are long, but I think there is only 4 and less than a half, so not too bad! Some people love Q-Snaps and can work well with them, I guess I'm just not that talented!Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902784518422014592.post-62517048124872597872020-06-09T14:18:00.000-04:002020-06-09T14:18:12.142-04:00Night Wish - 184.63 hrs<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/7246382384/in/album-72157660603117014/" title="Night Wish-000"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/7101/7246382384_c0ccb1251e.jpg" width="377" height="485" alt="Night Wish-000"></a><br />
<br />
Again, like Snow White, this one has negative connotations attached to it, but I left off back in November of 2017 at the first row finish:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/37779671645/in/album-72157660603117014/" title="NightWish038"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/4520/37779671645_e25ae00d24.jpg" width="500" height="273" alt="NightWish038"></a><br />
And have made a little more progress on her than Snow as of February 2020, but still in the second row:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/49579709432/in/album-72157660603117014/" title="NightWish056"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49579709432_db7c7f1e50.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="NightWish056"></a><br />
I just wish she was the color of purple in the picture and not what she is turning out to be. She is way more pinky-purple than I would like, but oh well.Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902784518422014592.post-46986585398486734932020-06-09T14:13:00.002-04:002020-06-09T14:13:35.352-04:00Snow White - 151.8 hrs<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/7246382446/in/album-72157662770925192/" title="Snow White-000"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/7082/7246382446_8333e7c4ec_z.jpg" width="480" height="600" alt="Snow White-000"></a><br />
<br />
I left off at the end of row 1 of Snow on November 2017:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/24503945878/in/album-72157662770925192/" title="SnowWhite033"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/4569/24503945878_dbc95971df_z.jpg" width="640" height="406" alt="SnowWhite033"></a><br />
But she has a more convoluted backstory...Snow, along with Night Wish, were the two projects I worked on while I sat with my Grandmother in hospice. It was a grueling two weeks and, every time I tried to work on these two projects afterwards, I was always reminded of those two weeks, so it took me longer to pick them back up. But I finally did and, as of January of this year (she's about to come back around in rotation), I made it here:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/49379660221/in/album-72157662770925192/" title="SnowWhite040"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49379660221_65e32e29fc_z.jpg" width="640" height="429" alt="SnowWhite040"></a><br />
Both of those projects also have this weird nasty stain on them that WILL NOT wash off (I'm just going to have to stitch over it), which I bet came from them being in the hospice room and others "bothering" them while I was out.Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902784518422014592.post-74675182008303618432020-06-09T14:05:00.001-04:002020-06-09T14:49:32.671-04:00Alice and the Bouguereau Princesses - 731.7<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/15864877758/in/album-72157649761187896/" title="Alice&theBs000"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/8592/15864877758_a709a0b071.jpg" width="419" height="500" alt="Alice&theBs000"></a><br />
Still in catch-up mode, I left off on Alice and the B's back in November of 2017 at the end of row 4:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/26598670549/in/album-72157649761187896/" title="alice170"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/4521/26598670549_ef7dd0a877.jpg" width="500" height="322" alt="alice170"></a><br />
And I'm still working on row 5, but in my defense, it is pretty huge! So, as of the middle of March, I am now here:<br />

I have been HORRIBLE with keeping up with this blog! Partly because I took over a year off of stitching due to personal reasons, and partly because I'm barely keeping up with my own blog due to work stresses, but it's time to get caught up! My last post here left off on Maleficent (and I will continue to call her that since I bought her when she first came out and my chart says that's her name) at the end of row 4 in June of 2017:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/35085216592/in/album-72157649825993332/" title="maleficent108"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/4214/35085216592_1a271a0f82.jpg" width="500" height="394" alt="maleficent108"></a><br />
I have since finished row 5:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/26216570998/in/album-72157649825993332/" title="maleficent133"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/4609/26216570998_bb4d6a5fe5.jpg" width="500" height="473" alt="maleficent133"></a><br />
And, as of the end of April, am working my way towards the end of row 6:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/49826540496/in/album-72157649825993332/" title="Maleficent150"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49826540496_9c64c58069.jpg" width="500" height="238" alt="Maleficent150"></a><br />
I am at the 700.1 hr mark on her as well. Since I took so much time off, getting back into stitching is taking some getting used to, so I'm a LOT slower now, but I still doubt she will surpass the 1000 hr mark.Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902784518422014592.post-7417820934057200052019-01-03T22:29:00.003-05:002019-01-03T22:29:31.199-05:00Strawberry Thief<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I almost forgot to post my update on Night Wish! My last post was May 30th and I was 102 hrs in here:<br />

And after an almost entire skein of white, the row is finished on November 24th at 131.2 hrs in:<br />

I took a break from stitching for a while and worked on this project exclusively once I started back, but it's been a long road to a page finish I guess.Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902784518422014592.post-64928917116978038492017-09-25T00:58:00.002-04:002019-01-03T22:30:16.834-05:00FINISHED !<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello all my friends all over the world .... I proudly present my 7th finished HAED .The confetti in the mouse cage and the rocking chair was heavy .... but I`ve done .<br />

<br />
Made a little progress since last time when I left off here:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/33279865891/in/album-72157649825993332/" title="maleficent090"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3698/33279865891_ea9ec8779f.jpg" width="500" height="237" alt="maleficent090"></a><br />
I didn't realize it during the time (other than I knew I put in about two weeks), but apparently I clocked over 80 hrs in those two weeks so that I could finish the row here:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/34406707254/in/album-72157649825993332/" title="maleficent107"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4240/34406707254_9cac30e55d.jpg" width="500" height="236" alt="maleficent107"></a><br />
And now I'm four rows down meaning only three more to go!<br />

I left off on her back in February here:<br />

And, like Snow White, I wanted to get a lot farther than I did...I really wanted to finish the last couple of pages so that I could focus exclusively on the moon, but alas, it wasn't meant to be and I stopped here:<br />

And I'd like to say that I made a ton of progress this rotation, but personal issues kept me from getting too far:<br />

Last post on this chart was back in January when I finished the first page and a bit of the second:<br />

After a little over a week, I managed to finish the second page and a chunk of the third:<br />

I'm having the worst time keeping it straight in the Q-Snaps (it's my first time using them).

I left off here on my last post:<br />

I had two rotations with them, but I couldn't put it down this last time, so it lasted three weeks, but I did manage to finish the row:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/33389108404/in/album-72157649761187896/" title="alice128"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2810/33389108404_03e0e0ba86.jpg" width="500" height="167" alt="alice128"></a><br />
And here are all three rows together so far:<br />

<br />
Apparently it's been since February 2016 when I finished the third row and put Maleficent down:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/24794114231/in/album-72157649825993332/" title="maleficent082"><img alt="maleficent082" height="337" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/2/1646/24794114231_fb49d300d1.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
I worked on her for little over a week and managed almost two pages:<br />

<br />
It is nice to be back to a rotation schedule, but life just doesn't seem to want me to get too far! I last left off on Night Wish in May of 2016:<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42970033@N06/26908263450/in/album-72157660603117014/" title="NightWish013"><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7581/26908263450_c2cfaf6877.jpg" width="500" height="275" alt="NightWish013"></a><br />
And barely made it here during this week's rotation:<br />

I left off on her in February 2016 with the first row finish:<br />

Did get a bit farther in June of 2016:<br />

<br />
But she's been lying dormant until now. I picked her back up in the past week or so and now I'm here:<br />

This is a long retired chart, one of the first HAED's I ever bought, and has been kitted up for years, so I figured it was about time I got started on it! I worked on it for two weeks (one week not so much), but did manage to finish the first page.<br />

It's also my first foray into Q-Snaps and it will only fit in one of my stands...the worst of them all as far as comfort goes, so it's been pretty difficult going. Time will tell how much this project progresses, but I have enjoyed the heck out of it so far...confetti and all!Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902784518422014592.post-80808126817584138342017-01-17T23:59:00.003-05:002017-06-24T12:04:36.069-04:00NEEDLE MAIDEN<h2 style="text-align: center;">

2016 was a rough year all the way around, but my stitching suffered most of all. I decided to give up my rotation and concentrate on one project (a non-HAED) which should have taken me two months to complete, but instead took until the end of the year due to constant life interruptions. Once it was finished though, I started back on my HAED rotation. I left off with Alice and the B's here in May:<br />

Picked them back up on December 30th, and ended their rotation on the 8th, about halfway through the row:<br />

Hopefully, this will be a far better year and I'll be able to possibly finish a couple of these guys!Keebleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297218097725284142noreply@blogger.com2
