WIP Update!

Okay, I didn't work much on Legends :( He's still not finished, I think this is 30 minutes more of backstitching than the last picture but it's of the whole piece so I figured I'd update it anyway (at 61 hours):



And my new project :) Blackwork Dragon (at 5 hours):


Hmm.. not much stitching this weekend.. Thursday night I started Blackwork Dragon at my stitch night, I bought the fabric, I only had 28ct grey fabric and I was advised to use 32 at least since it's blackwork and there will be a lot of trailing threads. So I bought some fabric, it's not hand dyed, I think it's Wichelt but this is a simple piece and it's coming along quickly for sure. I'm using an overdyed WDW thread that isn't too variagated but it's a dark purple and I love it.

This weekend we had a BBQ up at my uncle's in NH complete with Fireworks Saturday night, it was a great day. Sunday my sister and her boyfriend came back to our apartment in the afternoon and we all went into boston for dinner and a movie. We saw Batman Begins - best movie in a long time, we all loved it!
Then back home my boyfriend and I watched Spanglish which was also a very good movie. Yesterday we watched Calendar girls which was really funny and a great story in general. Finally getting some stitching time yesterday I worked more on Blackwork Dragon.

This week is a bit odd since it's tuesday already, tonight I will set up my computer again and maybe get working ont he site. Other than that it's back to the amish quilt and Legends at lunch time.
Speaking of lunchtime - that's what it is now so I better pull it out and get backstitching on Magic :)
