Hi all!
I have another finish!
This is one of my four 2022 Mischievous March starts, although only the second to be completed.
Here's how I left Night Lantern Stamp after returning and adding a bit to it in 2023...
... and here it is completed:
Night Lantern Stamp by SweetAnnet (etsy)
Stitched on 16ct cream aida
Started - 26th March 2022
Finished - 20th February 2025
Total stitching time - 15 hours 40 minutes
The frosted white and gold beads replace charted white and yellow french knots respectively. I don't think they look as good as the french knots would but as french knots are a definite no-go area for me, beads it was. And I'm still really really happy with the finish.
At the moment, I'm getting on well with this new 'no-plans' approach to my stitching. I never thought I'd be a OAAT stitcher but I'm finding it really satisfying to simply pick up a WIP and stitch a little each day until the project is completed. Of course, it helps that these are small projects so maybe that will change once I've exhausted my supply of small WIPs, but that's quite a way off yet!
Having said that, this was a Mischievous March project and since March is almost upon us I am at odds about whether to start four new projects for Mischievous March 2025. Part of me wants to (well, why not?) but I'm also asking myself if I want increase my WIPs again. I've got a week to make up my mind...
Take care,
Rachel x

Beautiful colours for this one, it's so lovely.
Cute finish Rachel. Oh I really think you should do 4 starts next month. I'm going to be 76 and am doing 76 starts this year.
