Months and months and months after the first was posted, here is the finale of my progress on the Artiste’s Snail piece!

All told, this piece took about a week to finish in total stitching time. In total amount of elapsed time from when I opened it to when I finished it, it was… about a year. I had the snail in my WIP pile for a very long time.

Anyway, here is where we left off:

Here is the finale on the Families Photo Album piece! It was a bit of a trial… I should have done 18 count instead of 16 count to get the size I wanted, but I didn’t realize I miscalculated until it was too late. I made due with what I had, and I think it turned out all right, all things considered.

I was able to complete this piece in time for Christmas… it was all wrapped and everything! But then I didn’t actually see the recipient at all. Even now months later we haven’t seen each other! I may need to just send it in the mail so he’ll get it…

Anyway, here is some more of the progress on this piece!

I took a break from the Little Princess to stitch on the Families Are Forever chart for the photo album.

So here is where we left off last time:

Ooh, look how little space there is.

Ooh, look how little space there is.

It’s time to start moving left to right, now that I’ve gone as far up and down as I can. I know the piece won’t fit completely but it’s good to have the border at least set so I can make sure. However, I’m trying to be really careful about carrying the black thread too far, so I ended up moving down instead of keeping right.

So here’s where I ended off:

The letters are slowly coming together.

The letters are slowly coming together.

Currently I’ve got a fully finished “i” and “r”. The “e”s are both only half finished because I don’t want to carry the black thread through the back and I haven’t stopped the thread to do those parts. Soon they will be all filled out! I’m making decent progress, plenty of time to finish by Christmas.

Progress Report is an update on all my stitching habits, from the kits to the stitching to the finishing process and more! Right now I am featuring one of my cat-themed projects and several of the mini kits I’m currently working on, along with other pieces I like to pull out and work on at random.

By the way – to keep up on Little Thread Crafts stitching news and get pictures, updates, and more that don’t appear on the blog until much later, follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! I would greatly appreciate it!

Progress Report: Families Photo Album, Part 1

Today’s article is late because I spent today stitching and wanted that to be today’s upload!

This is the project I talked about in yesterday’s article, How Many Days Until Christmas?!

I bought this photo album several months ago with the intent to give it to my grandfather for Christmas. My grandmother, who passed away two years ago from cancer, used to be an avid photographer. She always loved photos. I worked with him over the summer to catalog some of her older photos, as their photo albums were falling apart. So I decided to buy him a new album as a Christmas present.

Progress Report: Little Princess, Part 1

So imagine my surprise as I went to write the article on my progress on Little Princess today, that there was no article that came before it! I have no clue why it wasn’t in my Drafts folder like all my other Progress Reports have been. So instead of the article I had planned to finish out Day 18, here is all the progress on this piece from before!

Progress Report: Artiste’s Snail, Part 1

Oh wow! I’m nearly finished with this project and I have yet to write a Progress Report on it. It’s gotten to the point where I’m holding off working on the project until I get an article up because I’m making great progress on it!

You can watch a significant portion of this project unfold on my Five-Minute Stitch series: The Five-Minute Stitch! Video Series

I picked up this mini kit at Hobby Lobby and I thought (and still think) that it was absolutely adorable! And it’s actually bigger than most of the other mini kits I do. I was really excited to start. The nice thing is it’s mostly block colors so it’s pretty easy to work on. And no fractionals! It’s a nice break from all the fractionals I do.
