Where the heck have I been? I do apologize for my absence. I have been doing some stitching, not alot but some. Mostly a little bit here, and a little bit there. I do have a few progress pictures to post, quite a few framed pieces to post, but we'll start here.
I think this may be the most popular Faces of Faery out there. What can I say, I can't blame people for wanting to stitch it, I love it too. I like working on charts that others have not done before, but this one I couldn't resist. You may have noticed my love for dragons, hence my decision to do this particular one. There are other Faces of Faery out there, specifically
221 &
174, that aren't charted that I'd
love to do. There are a few more I like;
95,
180 &
78, but not nearly as much as the first two.
This chart is 6 pages, two of which are hardly worth mentioning. So I decided, since there are so many large chunks of color, to stitch all 6 pages simultaneously cross country. Since it's easiest, at least for me, to start with the largest quantity of stitches, I went with the color that had over 6,000, yikes. It was a flesh color.
However, the two large chunks of the color were very... VERY far apart, so I did a little bit of the second most color, 939, to make sure I counted correctly. I did, yay!
Then I finished the rest of the 939.
Ahh... there's the little guy.
I guess I could have posted there, a whopping 10,523 stitches done, but I was being lazy on the posting and didn't.... I'm sorry. However, I did two more colors are here's where she is right now!
She's starting to really come along. I don't think she's going to be put away quite yet. I'm enjoying it too much. We'll see how long it takes me to get bored. I promise I'll be better about posting for the rest of the year.

A Request:
Now despite my recent absence I have a request for my friends over in the London area, or just someone in the UK that can tell me weather. My parents are going on a trip next week and will be staying in London for a few days. I'm insanely jealous! I was hoping to be able to give them a bit of information on what weather they may end up encountering. You don't have to be too specific, but just generally, hot/cold, humid, rainy, stuff like that. Thanks in advance for any information. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.
