Oi. I really need to update this more often. I have been stitching, but my time has been severely limited this semester -- two upper level history classes and a studio art class make for a very busy Heather.

So...what have I been doing? Well -- I've been stitching a couple of different things; here are a few finishes (since July of 2008, which is the last time I updated this blog.)

The Tardis:

I used a modified filet crochet pattern (found here, by meredee) and stitched with DMC 825 and DMC glow-in-the-dark floss on 14ct. black aida. (I have plans to do meredee's Adipose Baby and Dalek as well, using more glow-in-the-dark floss and some metallics)

Shakespeare (wedding gift)

This quote is from Love's Labours Lost by William Shakespeare; its a modified bookmark - I pushed some of the words closer together, and changed the Shakespeare attribution to the bride and groom's names. Stitched with DMC linen floss on 28ct. linen -- I both love and hate the linen floss: it looks fantastic, but shreds like crazy!

SHEEP!

Lanarte kit on 28ct. linen; I ran out of *two* colors, and broke *three* needles -- a record for me, especially since this is only 6x6!

My seemingly-eternal WIPs are pillowcases:
