Sprite Stitch Board!

After seeing RMDC's posts, I just had to make this: On topic, I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone has made. Whatever size or measure of insanity, it'll be awesome!

Ahaha, nice one Izzy! (Might make a pattern from that one, too )
Nothing like a bit of ego-building on a Saturday morning. I love you all!

And returning to topic, how's everyone doing? I'm about 3/4 of the way through the first piece of my first gift (sounds complicated and it is) but I need supplies for that so today I will be starting some other stuff!

Make it sew. Engage!

I've made the smaller items, but I'm waiting too long to get the fancy aida delivered, so I'm contemplating doing something a little different instead. I'll give it another week and if it doesn't come, I'll have to come up with something else.

I'm almost done with my first item, I need to assemble it still, and I've started stitching the second item.

The BIG part of mine is about 1/3 done, which stresses me out a bit... but only one more week till summer break. Then all of my power and might will go into finishing it!

Has it been driving anyone else up a wall that they can't post a WIP pic? I want all of your input on certain aspects, and I get ready to head to the forums for advice.... and BAM I remember I can't.

My second item is half done I'll finish it next week...
And start the thrid one, which is more... complicated.
I don't know how many items I'll do. 4 for sure... maybe more, if I have some time left (and ideas too)...

Yeah, so I've actually been avoiding taking WIP pics right now. I'm going to do a few when the parts of my first gift are ready to be assembled, I think

But yeah, I'm finding it totally frustrating to not get any input!

I just bought my supplies last week as Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and Jo Ann's were ALL out of a key component for THREE WEEKS!!! If I had known, I would have just ordered online, but alas. Anywho, I still only have the one idea and I'm about a third of the way through it. I'm toying with a couple other ideas, but nothing set in stone (or stitch, har har) yet.

It scares me that all of you guys are making several gifts.
I've decided to make a big one (very time consuming and a lot of work to do on it, almost 90.000 stitches, 86.000 to go!), I hope it will still be ok, and I hope my swappie will like it because I'm not even sure I'm gonna finish it on time, I'm really trying hard, I'm stitching all I can when I have a little time for myself.

But I know it will come out wonderfully and that's keeping me motivated!

Of course, if I still have time by the end of June, I'll add a little something else on the side.

90,000 stitches! That's pretty ambitious
Hope you find the time to finish it!

I hate when that happens, which is nearly all the time. It's always something you REALLY need!
