So here is a big update.

Firstly, I have been stitching away at Fire Goddess:
With Flash

And I have been stitching Lily at work. Considering she gets maybe 20-30 minutes a shift at most, I am happy with how she is progressing:
Flash:
Lily,mirabilia
No Flash:

For something fun, I started Dolly Mama’s Coffee:

14 ct and very bright!!!

And pulled out my Cirque de Cercles No. 2, stitched with HDF Paua Abalone:
Last time I stitched it, it looked like this:

And now:

There is a very bright, bright orange in Fire Goddess that I didn’t think was right, but now I have stitched it does actually work.

I was awake way too late stitching this last night, and some would say tonight (although I did have the tv on a silly movie or two…) and it is almost done:

Maybe if you tilt your head and squint you can see it emerging….

Today I started adding the bling to Waiting for Ships after finishing all the backstitch (which actually took a lot longer than I thought – but I think that was partly because I as getting distracted by the movie I had on)… Anyway, her headpiece is gorgeous. I tried to take a close up but I think my hands were shaking a little so everything was out of focus… sigh… maybe better photos tomorrow, but here she is anyway… her blinged up headpiece:

And I started Lily by Nora Corbett – belfast linen Tutti Frutti by silkweaver
