The Handbook for the Recently Deceased is taking a little longer than I thought, but it’s going well so far! I just have to finish up the guys jacket and add the text!
So close! Have you got a specific plan for framing it or turning it into anything?
My WIP Wednesday progress was nonexistent these last few weeks but NO MORE! After setting up the new stand the other day I got nearly 400 stitches in on Errol over the weekend, which is a lot for me!
Pretty much everything below collar / wing level is new this week, it’s been very motivational and really helped get my stitchy bug back a bit.
Speaking of, it’s 24 hours of cross stitch this weekend (Friday-Sunday) and I think I may give it a go! Might even vlog it, assuming nothing gets in the way. So I need to decide whether to use the time on this project or switch to something else, or maybe a combo. Hmm decisions decisions.
Anyone else tempted to give it a whirl?
I have some metallic gold I may add as backstitching to give it more of a story book vibe, but other than that I just plan to frame it. Errol is looking great so far! The new stand looks very nice, if somewhat complicated lol! I’m glad it’s working well for you!
Thanks, need a bit more practise before I can really get speedy with it and stitch two-handed, but it’ll give me something to shoot for during 24hocs 😄
Umbrella done
He’s really coming to life now! Did you decide to leave the handle blank after all?
Jury’s still out. I’ll wait and see what it looks like with the rain filled in. If I do some black I suspect it’ll be last.
You could also make the bottom part brown and the top part like a lighter grey or silver like a cane handle umbrella
