So before I get into my IHSW stitching, I have one finish to share that happened the week before (I wanted to make a seperate post for that...but again, blogging...not very high on the list for now). Remember that little Corgi I showed in my last update? He's all finished now, and so cute! He's my first contribution to a charity stitching project, so he's on his way to be made into a quilt for a little boy, but it was seriously hard to part with him.
When IHSW came around, I got to start it off with a big celebratory happy dance - a finish on Ink Circle's 99! I was so happy to get those last few bottles out, and I'm very pleased with the result. It's awaiting framing now, which should happen within the next couple of days.
And then, even so I really don't need a new start, I just couldn't help myself - I celebrated by getting a little all-beads Mill Hill kit out that had been in my stash for over a year now, and ever since I got it, I couldn't wait to start it! It's Flower Trellis, a kit containing two perforated paper ornaments done and finished with tons of beads. All the beads are attached with half crosses and use the same thread colour, so it stitched up pretty quickly. I've already finished 1/3 of the first ornament, but put it away again for now - this will be a little treat for myself for whenever I need it!
Apart from that little excursion, I used IHSW to focus on Fire and Ember - UnconventionalXStitch was hosting a Stitchathon event from the 20th to the 30th, so I was aiming for a page finish during that time frame (spoiler alert: I made it!). On IHSW, I got the first two colours in, which already amounted for a fair bit of progress:

Oooh congratulations Leonore on your finishes! The Corgi is soooo cute! And the Ink Circle 99 is going to look great when framed. I don't blame you for a cheeky new start.... I tend to have quite a few of those ;) Great progress on your Fire and Ember.
Congratulations on your huge finish, and your little finish! They're both lovely.
Yay to finishing your bottles and your cute Corgi! There is nothing wrong with starting something new, especially when it comes from your stash. Hope life calms down a little more for you soon x
Great to see the 99 bottles - what a fabulous finish! The corgi turned out very cute!
Congratulations on your finishes, I love that Corgi =) And I absolutely need to look up that Mill Hill Kit, it looks so pretty =)
Irgendwie bin ich immer hintendrin im Moment mit meinen Kommentaren. Vielleicht sollte ich einfach etwas regelmäßiger kommentieren, dann wäre ich auch auf dem Laufenden mit den fertiggestellten Projekten. Na ja. Auf jeden Fall sieht er nun so richtig nach Corgi aus, der kleine Hund, nachdem die backstitches dran sind.
Congratulations on the Happy Dances for 99 and the cute little Corgi. Great work on Fire & Ember as well as the beaded kit. I do like those beaded Mill Hills.
Congrats on finishing 99 and that super cute corgi. That's two finishes and only one new start; you're still ahead hah. :D/
