Finished two small projects recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first one is my daughter's 2019 Christmas ornament. The design is Peace & Joy by The Drawn Thread, this a kit I bought <b>10</b> years ago!!!! In September, I was going thru my stash and found this cute Santa and decided to finally stitch it Ā°ĆĀ°. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The design is not only done with cross stitch but it has a few specialty stitches like the ones used for Santa's bag. The doves and Santa's face are done in silks and one over one. I usually hate stitching one over one on 32ct fabric but the silks made this task a lot easier. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope to assemble this ornament this weekend... so come back soon to see a picture of it fully finished and hanging on the tree *yay* </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another project I finished is Daisy Dog, that features a very pink and fun little dog. This design came on a digital magazine (no longer available) called The Gift of Stitching.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Early this year I remembered I had the complete collection of these magazines so I went thru all of them and made a list of the designs I wanted to stitch from them. Daisy Dog was designed by Stitchy Kitty and I love how bright and colorful it is. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The design called for fancy floss (Weeks Dye Works, GAST and Crescent Colour) but I stitched mine with regular DMC and for the main fur of the dog I used ThreadworX (color 1100) and I also the suggested DMC 150 for 601</div>

I belong to a local Facebook group of embroiderers called "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/2623188984365712/" target="_blank">Club del Bordado Peru</a>" and on Sunday I went to a mini get together. We reunited at a park in Miraflores (Lima) and we talked, ate and stitched all afternoon. I had a great time and the plans are to get together at least once a month.</div>

I wanted a small, simple project to take to this meeting, so I started a freebie by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SVStitch" target="_blank">SV_Stitch</a> called: "You're my Hero" and I actually made great progress *Ć*. I'm using a fabric that my cousin gifted me when she came to visit (she cross stitches, too). I don't think it's Aida but I still like how tiny and even my "x" look. I measured it and it's a 20ct fabric. Here how it looked after the meet up.<br />

I'm not a big fan of backstitch but in this project I enjoyed doing it. My plan is to fully finish it before the end of the year to gift it to one of the young boys in my family Ā°ĆĀ° </div>

This month I tested two amigurumi patterns for designer <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/tikvapatterns" target="_blank">Yulia Mozhaiska</a>. I've tested several of her patterns and they always turn out super cute <span style="color: #a64d79;">ā„</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both were done with cotton yarn and a hook size 2.5mm. The first one I finished was a sweet sheep lovey, I really enjoyed making it and love the texture that the popcorn stitch adds to the doll. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a little hiatus I finally picked up my needles and started working on my cross stitch pieces. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since my last post, I finished two projects. The first one is <a href="https://www.creativepoppypatterns.com/barbara-designs-viva-vida-cross-stitch-xml-250_264-3300.html" target="_blank">"Viva la Vida"</a> by Barbara Ana Designs, I started this design on December of last year, days before I went on a vacation to Mexico with my sister and our kids, as a way to commemorate our first trip to that country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really love the way it turned out! I did everything as charted except the skin colors, for mine I used DMC 951 and DMC 3856 for the shadows. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second piece I finished was Ice Princess by <a href="https://heavenandearthdesigns.com/" target="_blank">Heaven and Earth Designs</a>. This was a freebie design that was posted on HAED's website many years ago, the original design had an owl on one of the princess' hand but I was not a fan so I cropped it off. I started this piece on 2015 when my daughter was 4 years old and a huge fan of Frozen, she's not into that movie anymore but she likes the design and is happy that it's done and that it will soon be hanged in her bedroom ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the projects I worked on was Sans Souci by Long Dog Samplers, you can see in my previous post that I was almost done with page 3. That page is now done and made a start on page 4. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The designs has a total of 9 pages so I'm not even 50% done with it. I will try to work on it on a regular basis, because I feel I make a lot of progress on each stitchy session and I don't have to change colors constantly. </div>

This is my current progress on San Souci by Long Dog Samplers. I'll finish stitching page 3 tonight so I can start working on the second row of pages this week. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm using this project for a 100 day stitching challenge that's taking place on a Spanish Facebook group. I'm working on it for half an hour everyday (well almost everyday ;P ); 74 of those 100 days have passed and I think I've made good progress on this piece. </div>

Last year I signed up for the <a href="https://www.thefrostedpumpkinstitchery.com/products/into-the-jungle-pdf-cross-stitch-pattern" target="_blank">Into the Jungle</a> SAL by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. I didn't keep up with it so I'm still working on it. Last night, I finished the 7th block, the chimpanzee.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The chimpanzee was the first thing I stitched in that block and I messed up the placement so I had to make little adjustments to the block. </div>

Third finish of 2019! This one has been on my WIP pile since 2012!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year I decided to have a few old wips in my rotation and I'm happy to say I finished the first one *Ć*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The design is from Soda Stitch and it's called Scent of Wind (SO-380). I'm a huge fan of this designer, her designs are always super cute and I have many more to stitch some day ;)<br />
<br />
I started this piece when my daugther was almost 2 years old and I kind of forgot about it for a few years. This year my stitchy bug has return in full force so I'm trying to finish some old wips while still starting new projects. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">

I started this piece last year but, as always, I got distracted with other projects so it took me a little over a year to finish it :P</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have an idea of how I want to finish it but that will have to wait until next week because I have a few crochet pieces I need to finish before Monday.</div>

I dissappeared again!I've been super busy lately and blogging completely slipped my mind :P<br />
<br />
I'm still working on Punch of Color Girls 10 for the 100 days of HAED challenge. There have been several days where I only added one stitch to this projects but so far I've not misses a single day stitching on it...which is great!<br />
<br />
Here is my progress after 70 days...<br />

Last Saturday was day 40 of the 100 days of HAED challenge. This time around I didn't have much time for cross stitching so I had very little progress. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most days I only added 1 stitch just to be able to stay in the challenge. </div>

Halloween is fast approaching so need to finish Black Hat Society soon so I can display it this year in my home. I started this piece last year in September and I'm still working on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see I don't have much left to do so I think I can finish it sometime this month.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">By the end of the month, I'll be visiting my daughter's classroom to talk about her and show pictures and videos of when she was a baby up until now. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Parents usually take small gifts for each child when they visit; so Maria Fernanda asked me if I could make amigurumi because she always tells them that I make stuffed toys for her. So now I need to finish 29 small amigurumi for my visit on August 29th. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">For the boys, I chose to make mini sharks and for the girls, kawaii watermelon slices. So far I've done 3 sharks of 15 I need to make, and 1 watermelon of 14. I need to get busy with these or I won't finish them on time!!! </span></div>

Yesterday was day 30 for the 100 days of HAED challenge. I'm very pleased that I'm keeping up with the challenge, some days I just added 1 stitch to the piece but 1 stitch is still progress, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the last 10 days I added 1,198 stitches to the piece and most of those stitches were done on Sunday. </div>

</span> <span style="text-align: justify;">I'm trying to be more constant with my cross stitch like I used to, so when I heard about the "100 days of HAED challenge" I signed up immediately. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</span> <span style="text-align: justify;">So far things are going great, I've stitched at least half an hour every single day since July 2. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</span> <span style="text-align: justify;">The design I chose is Punch of Color Girls #10 by Hannah Lynn, and I'm stitching it 1 over 1 full cross on 25ct Lugana (Easy Count)</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</span> <span style="text-align: justify;">Here is my progress for the first 10 days of the challenge: </span><br />

Last night I finished another letter from my Soda Stitch piece: Alphabet Learning (SO-G39). I'm stitching it on 32ct Dirty Belfast Linen with Anchor threads. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This piece was my 2017 New Year New start and I only have 3 more letter to add and it will be DONE!!! *Ć*</div>

I have very little time to cross stitch but I still signed up for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1860302114251992/" target="_blank">100 Days of HAED Challenge</a> on Facebook. The challenge consists in adding at least one stitch to a HAED piece for 100 days (sign up closed on Sunday).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this challenge I chose a new start: Punch of Color Girls 10 by Hannah Lynn.I've been wanting to start this one forever and the challenge was the perfect excuse *Ć*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My plan is to do all the black outline first and then fill in the colors. My goal for these 100 days is to finish all the black. </div>
