Progress, new start and stash

I have been working away on HAED Literate Dragon. It is a SAL with the BB.
There is a lot of confetti stitching so it is taking me forever to work on. I am stitching this 1x1 on 25 ct evenweave.

I started an ornament from the JCS 2003 ornament issue. It is I love Christmas by Gloria & Pat designs. I am stitching this on 28 ct evenweave.
I decided to stitch on a Christmas ornament on Sundays to give me a break from HAEDs.

I also received 3 HAED charts in the mail.
 HAED QS Night at the Pumpkin Patch- Ching-Chou Kuik
 Mini A Pale Comparison - Jasmine Becket-Griffith
Mini Village Bookstore - Randal Spangler

I have no idea when I will get to stitch these but I love the charts and collecting the HAED charts is addictive.  

I finished reading The Long Quich Goodbye by Avery Aames and it was a cute cozy mystery.

I am now reading The Gin and Chowder Club by Nan Rossiter and I am enjoying it.

I also have been cutting back on tv shows as I want to get back into watching movies. So I no longerDVR Live with Kelly & Michael, or Home & Family. If General Hospital keeps up with the vampire stories then I am done with that too. Don't get me worng I loved The Twilight series and I watch The Vampire Diaries, on Thursdays, on the CW. But not on my soaps. I also stopped watching Revenge and I am getting bored with Pretty Little Liars. Next season is the last for a couple of my shows, I believe.

Happy Stitching!

  4. I love the Village Bookstore, it`s so Jessica Fletcher, lol! I`ve never tried stitching 1x1 on evenweave, is it hard? Do you need a magnifier? The ornie`ll be lovely too :)

  8. Nice progress, Shelleen.

    I watch Revenge, The Bachelor, Nashville, and Once Upon A Time. Other than those shows, I don't really care for what's on TV.

  9. I'm doing my first HAED too on 25 ct over one. At least you have a color variety. Mine is gray around the edges. I might have to try your grid pattern type next page. I'm experimenting with different ones to see if there's one I like over the others. With 25 some odd pages, that gives me a lot of time to experiment.
