Blogger just isn't doing it for me, and a lot of the time I feel like I am going to a corner of the internet like I was bad. Will I still visit those I follow here, of course! So from now on I will be posting HERE.

That little goldish bit, that's it for week two. I believe week three is small as well but with two colors, if I remember correctly :)
Stared a new cross stitch. I wanted to cry last night when I realized I messed up BIG and had to frog out A LOT of stitching. I made a point of undoing all the mistake before going to bed because I knew if I left it, I wouldn't go back to it, I was so Screaming Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09321906196340857779noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155761290676730017.post-78286620904262342932015-07-28T15:41:00.003-04:002015-07-28T15:41:33.236-04:00Furry Friends Finished
Haha! I have conquered the back stitching! I even learned how to do a proper french knot! Now I better not see anymore of this for the rest of the year :D
You know, I had wanted to do several things today, but I got derailed, by thread. Wal-mart had these large kits on clearance for a third of their original price. So I grab the two left thinking hell yes that is a lot of fabric and thread I Screaming Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09321906196340857779noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155761290676730017.post-5936412766877671392015-07-27T16:09:00.001-04:002015-07-27T16:09:41.480-04:00Butterfly Done
I had till the end of October to finish this but I was determined to get it done. When it comes to deadlines I guess I just like to get it done and out of the way.
I started the back stitch on the cat and duckling but got as far as the cats head and most of the duck before needing to put it down. I get frustrated when I do some of it and I can't see it so why the hell do they have it there?!

I only worked one day this week so I plugged away at this and nothing else. It is a little over 1100 stitches and really wasn't meant to be finished in a week as the next week is a "catch up week" with very few stitches for the next color. It is a surprise what it is going to be, so I keep trying to figure it out but I have no idea with so little in.

I plugged away at this, this past weekend. Even my husband was shocked how much I did.
Started another pieces as well. This is for a Stitch Along and this week is week one. I am now breaking my own rule and have FOUR projects going on at once.

This is one of those pieces that I will admit the back stitching is necessary. That doesn't mean I have to like it. Some of it won't be so bad, it's just when I get the faces that it gets harder. I will try very hard this time not to get sloppy or impatient, make it good practice for later since this one is going on my wall.Screaming Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09321906196340857779noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155761290676730017.post-79576741390605712912015-07-16T13:55:00.000-04:002015-07-16T13:55:01.464-04:00New Cross Stitch
I put my Ocelot aside for a bit and started working on this. Since the Ocelot is a personal piece, I had to remind myself that it doesn't need to be finished right away. So I started on this piece that is for a contest. Stitching Pirates on DeviantArt run contests through out the year and I decided to give it a go.

I could not think of anything that I liked with two oranges and a blue. I didn't want to do a dragon, and an orange and blueberry sounded silly :D
Oddly it was work that gave me this idea.
The visual display for the one brand of bathing suits had framed pictures of seahorse paintings and other ocean related goodies.

I got to walk the dogs almost everyday and visit my husband's niece and her step mom who was amazing and gave me all her cross stitch goodies. My cross stitch hoard is amazing and ALL MINE!

This one was a blast to work on! After all this time I got my gold metallic pen to work!

Jurassic World, this is all your fault :D Partially anyway, I have been wanting to draw a dinosaur for awhile.
Coral, Teal, and White were my palette colors, coral is hard to get with markers, I know it looks more peachy orange then coral (probably because I did use peach).

I'm trying a different method, instead of sticking to a spot and working out from it, I am now sticking to one color as much as I can do in the part I have framed. It just may be going a little faster that way. Only problem with that is if there is a lot of the color (like there was with the black and white) I start to go a little crazy and antsy to work on another color. I honestly don't know Screaming Felinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09321906196340857779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155761290676730017.post-37972692773709204172015-06-25T21:13:00.000-04:002015-06-25T21:13:43.463-04:00Aqua, Yellow, PinkBecause those are the colors I was following :D
I am definitely scanning this tomorrow because the colors aren't showing to well but I am so darn pleased with this first attempt. Three colors but seven markers since the color palette isn't as strict as the last three. ACEO size seems to work quite well so I don't know if I'll try anything larger. Maybe later...like way later :D

So, this is suppose to be a flamingo eye. I wanted to try something real and I really don't care for it. If I was going to do a bird I guess it wasn't the best choice for a close up :D
Another dragon eye, this will make the last eye. I was getting bored on this one and really not trying to put much effort into it.

Figured it has been awhile since I messed with prisma markers and when I did I never really tried to do anything great with them. So thought it was time to drag them back out and see what I could do. Starting off small, I only used three colors for this, I think I'm going to follow the color schemes for the Summer of Colors deal to play around with.

That is without a doubt.
So the theme for this round of tattoos is Moon and Sun. I started with the hubby's moon first because I wasn't sure how many ideas I was going to have to throw at him before he pounced on one. Imagine my surprise when round one (with four to look at) was all the further I had to go.
