My Kreinik threads have arrived and I am getting stuck into the metallics for my Storykeep.
My cloth arrived for my big project too so I am spending time gridding that.
And Half Term is almost over so this weekend I am focusing even more on the children and I have a surprise up my sleeve for them....
Not much else to say really - will post a new WIP pic when I have broken the back on the hated metallics. I loathe working with them... but I am sure it will look great once they are in.
Until the next WIP

Small scale...
Here is a progress pic of my storykeep. Approx 1400 stitches in. It also shows how tiny it is. I am working this half cross stitch on 28 count evenweave. One strand of floss over one. So small I can only work on it for short periods of time, an hour in evening under daylight lamp and maybe 2 hours in the daytime if parenting permits!

Heaven and Earth storykeep
I have started this finally! It's a flower bride. After a couple of days work there's about 1000 stitches done.
I am stitching this on 28 count evenweave in half cross stitch one strand over one strand so its very small! I can only do a small amount at a time it I get eye strain so this is definitely a slowly slowly one!
