Diamond Painting - Enchanted Rose from Free Diamond Painting

*UPDATE- This one is on hold until I get my light pad due to arrive around the 1st of Sept. The symbols are hard to see.




I decided to start Enchanted Rose yesterday evening and as of right now 432 drills placed. I found 4 that are trash, 1 has a hole in it, one isn't cut right and the other 2 are stuck together.

However while working on this I have also found that dark symbols on a dark background are proving to be hard to see, my usual craft light is not enough so I am using a light strip that the hubby got me off Amazon. It's suppose to be used on sewing machines but I don't use it for that. It is working good to help light up the picture enough for me to see thru my magnifier.

These I can see just fine, it's those under the darker colors that are hard to see






Other than having a hard time seeing some of the symbols I like it so far.
This is from my previous post titled diamond painting reviews of companies

That one has been updated as well. 

That's all for now
Until next time
Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxx

Cross Stitch - Boxer

Hello Hello every one. I hope that you are doing well. Same old routine here which is good. I like routine.

I recently acquired a beautiful cross stitch pattern from Boston Needleworks & Scrapbooking
Lots of beautiful patterns on the website and I think they have a store front on Amazon as well.

This is Faun Boxer - It is all full cross stitches 143w x140h - 10.7" x  9.86"
I started this a coupld of days ago and am trying a different way of stitching by doing one 10x10 square at a time, not a lot of confetti stitches so far either. I started center and working down then will move to next row and work up.

Progress so far is 351 stitches of 13,459. I have a ticker showing on the right side of my blog that I will be updating as I go along. The fabric is a light blue but shows kind of green here.
                                           
                                           Progress so far......


I have not done any more diamond painting and none have come in so far. Still trying to track 3 I think at this point. 1 has not even shipped. 1 of 2  did make it to the USA from China but no update so far on where it is exactly.

Until next time.....

Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxx
