Another Page Finished
Sometimes it really surprises me how quickly I can stitch. Of course it feels like it’s taking an age when your stitching and trying to get the page finished but two weeks to finish a full size page is quick work for me especially when there are lots of colour changes to deal with. I really love all of the details in this stitching including the little twinkling stars flying out of the carriage, some of them have shadows that they’re casting on the books which you can only...
Read MoreMissing the Train
It has been a few weeks since I last got to spend any time on Train of Dreams it had to wait patiently while I finished my Faces of Faery and completed page two on the Storykeep. But with no other distractions for a few weeks it’s just time to spend stitching the train.

There’s another steam dragon as well on...
Read MoreSunny Update

Now I have several weeks to devote to Train of Dreams and I’m really...

Now I’ve nearly finished page 2 of this chart and I’m trying to make up my mind whether or not to get this page finished before I get back to my train. It’s been weeks since I’ve put in any stitches on the Train of Dreams and I’m really missing it but there isn’t much to do...
Read MoreFinished Faces of Faery 70
Well I’ve finally done it, I’ve finally finished my first Heaven and Earth Design Faces of Faery 70 by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. I finished her just before midnight having put in the last of the sparkly threads and completing a column and a half in one day. The difficult thing about getting close to finishing a project is that it seems to take forever. I think it’s because I could see how much I had left to do. She’s taken about 8 weeks to stitch and she’s...
