Terribly sorry for the photo quality, didn't get a chance to take it in the morning and the light in my flat is very bad as it gets later.

Next weeks update will be most likely postponed to a thursday due to the Christmas events planned.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.

Till next week....

Part 8

Yes I am finally back in the blog world and updating my summer extravaganza that has stretched into probably what is to come a fair bit more years, but I should get there in the end.

Having had a lot of health problems and lots of university to deal with I wasn't able to update at all these past couple of months but hopefully getting back to the blog world will encourage me to post my updates frequently however small the progress.

My summer extravaganza project last update was of two page progression. Just to remind you here is what I had in July:

July 2012

Here is what I have accomplished up till now:

Part 3


Terribly sorry for the delay in updating lately, had a very busy week with my sister graduating so had no opportunity to get this up sooner. I am proud to say I finally finished the first a4 page and now on to the next one. With the whole page it is now ok to say that the colours are starting to come together. This next page is quite exciting as it is the start of the hair and not just boring background, which made up most of last page.

Current stage of project

Will try to keep on time next time and therefore hopefully till next Tuesday..

Part 2

Here is a quick update to my summer extravaganza 2012 project, design by Jasmine Becket-Griffith: Sienna Dragonling. For this update I'm only going to post the page development, having not finished the first page of my print outs I think an update on the overall development is not required. 

Page progress

Till next Tuesday...

Summer Extravaganza 2012

My first post on the Summer Extravaganza 2012, started on the 1st of June by my sister Lija. Today is the very first development post, as we have agreed to post every Tuesday. My selected design was Sienna Dragonling by Jasmine Becket-Griffith from the collection of Heaven and Earth Designs.

Page progress

Overall project progress

This must be my very first big scale project, as well as my first time to use the gridding technique. I really enjoy cross stitching this project, I just hope it wont over take all my other projects.

Till next Tuesday...
