Train of Deams ~ Themed sal this weekend

Since the themed SAL this weekend included animals of any kind, I desided to join with my Train of Dreams. I have finally reached the first little dragling on the train and I am looking forward to see how it'll look like.

However Iam starting school tomorrow, so I won't get that much time left for stitching and reading, but I am in no hurry. A grid every now and then together with an audio book will be good therapy ;)

Here's the before picture:

Traon of Dreams ~ 27th of August

I just discovered something!

I love J.K. Rowling's story about Harry Potter. I started reading the books, but have only gotten half way throughe the books. And while I have been stitching this week I watched all the movies in a row, exceot the last one.

I want to read the end. I want to feel the excitment you have while reading a story like Harry Potter. But since I am busy with other things and since I am reading an even better book, George R.R. Martin's book A Dance with Dragons, I was worrying about how I am to read the final Harry Potter books and finally get too the end of the story...

And then I realized something!

My hubby have all the books on audio!! I can listen to them and stitch at the same time!!

I am so happy!

I started listening to the first bookk yesterday and today I started the second book. And I am enjoying my stitching even more like this. Wonderful!

I never really liked audio books before. I had a hard time getting the story, but while stitching I have no problems at all and I simmpy love it.

Try it!

Astranaithes ***UPDATE***

I have finnsihed the first 1 % =) 4490 stitches, which is the first top row of grids of the six pages.

The stitching on this chart is so much different compared to the Train of Dreams. The train has alot of confetti (in y opinion) and Astranaithes is such easy stitching. Few colours, lovely greens and browns, so the stitching was pretty fast.

Looking forward to continue with the second top row od grids, but first I am going back to stitchign the train. I simply missed it too much and I might need to finnish it before going back to Astranaithes, because I found it very difficult to get the fab on the frame this time =(

Astranaithes 18th of August.

Train of Dreams ~ 13th of August

6 pages done! Wow! I am still loving the design and it will be hard to do a rotation now, but I am eager to try out Astranaithes on my new frame =)

I tried some new way to end and start threads by simple using waste knots. It has worked perfectly when starting a thread, but I can't say it's working when ending them aswell. Well, it's not working for me, so unfortunatlly I have to go back to running the ending threads under the stitched area after finnishin a grid or column. I hate it! It is so time consuming, but what should one do? It has to be done!

20% done on the train *shoo-shoo-oo*!

Confetti and my new Millenium frame with floor stand!

After watching the film on youtube.com of how the millenium frame is used, I as certain that this was the frame I wanted.

I ordered it two weeks ago and since I have an upcomming birthday, my mum and hubby gave me the Necessair floor stand as a gift (thank you!) to go with the huge (36") frame I ordered.

I waited a week for it to arrive and in the meanwhile I have had great service from Needle needs, I built the stand and mounted the fab on the frame (it wasn't as easy as it looks on the youtube video) and tadaa!!! What a great frame abd stand! I can't imagine using another frame ever =) I like the q-snaps ALOT, but with this frame it is possible to stitch over a bigger area and plus the stand to hold the frame eall does it ;)

I wanted to illustrate confetti (at least i think it was confetti. It certainlly felt like it!) stitching, but the pictures I took simply doesn't show what confetti looks like. I will have to try again once I hit confetti on the Train of Dreams.

Train of Dreams update

I wish I had more time to stitch! I love every little stitch I make since they have their own purpose.

My Traini of Dreams is comming along, but since I am workiing fulltime and have a family to love and take care of, I have only little time left for stitching. However I do try to get some stitching done when I am having a day off from work.



Train of Dreams ~ 3/8-2011



I am fascinated by the colours which makes the magic smoke comming out of the chimney of the locomotive. I had been wondering about how it would look like and, as always, I am stunned!

Now I am looking forward to see the finnished locomtive and t omove on to the waggon behind it.

And tomorrow it will arrive! My Millenium frame with a floor stand! It is a birthday gift from my hubby, mom and myself =) I have high expectations on this product. I just hope I won't be dissaointed like the last time, when I ordered the DMC floor stand.

There was a sale on the Heaven and Earth designs website and I simply couldn't resist it this time. I had to buy one of the dragon designs I have fallen inlove with:
