Wow, I actually managed to be a whole week late with my update :D I somehow thought that Septembers WIPocalypse would be on the 29th or 30th, but it was the 25th. Well, as every month - better late then never, right? ;-)
This wonderful SAL is hosted by Measi and you can find the link-up here.
This months question is: Which floss (or color of floss) do you absolutely adore and want to stash constantly?
Well, I normally work with DMC (due to all my Haeds) and I make sure to have plenty of that all the time :D Apart from that I stock a lot of Glissen Gloss Rainbow R000 to substitute Kreinik, I tried a few blending filaments and this is just my favorite one to use. Apart from that I don't use a lot of special threads, so I guess that's it ;-)
Well, I only have two projects to show this month, but I did manage a fair amount of progress on both!
First up as usual - my Kriemhild! I managed to finish page 28 :)
I went from here:
To here - page finish also means you get a full picture =)
Doesn't she look pretty =) And by now I am really close to the halfway mark now, I am so excited =)
The second project I worked on ist Whispers by Melanie Delon. This was my new year start for this year and I haven't worked on this since January, so I thought it was about time to pick it up again. I added another 4000 stitches and went from here:
To here:
I think the flowers look truly amazing and it is so much fun to stitch, a nice mix of confetti and and background stitching.
I picked up Supersized Ride of the Yokai last night, but I didn't get much done so far. I thought about making this month my supersized month and try to get some work into my huge projects (they will take their time to get done anyway...) ;-)
I guess that's it for this month =)
Happy stitching =)
Wow great progress! I love the flowers in the Melanie Delon stitch, they are so effective.

Great progress! Page finish on Kriemhild means you now actually get to stitch on her and not just the background, and those flowers truely look amazing!
