And I'm done!

So pleased to have finally finished this Mario piece I've been playing around with since the start of the year. Just a matter of finding a frame that fits! The finished product contains over 23,000 individual stitches and 70 different colours. It is by far the biggest piece I have ever attempted. While I'm on a roll I thought I'd dig out that Crocomire...

More Mario

Just a quick pic update to record my progress on the mario piece. This thankfully concludes the green hill background! Now I just have the final third to go...might actually finish this one? (If I'm not too distracted playing Costume Quest or Beyond Good and Evil).

Life got in the way a bit there...

Here's a update of my 'mario through the ages' cross stitch I started way back at the start of the year. I completely neglected it due to the block colour grind but since picking it up again I've got some renewed interest (not saying it will last but progress is progress). Haven't updated in a long time, lost the plot for a bit and then went on a bit of a trip around Australia and made eating out and drinking too much my daily pursuit. I had planned to have the Wind Waker piece all finished a month or so ago but I discovered an error in my stitchy ways and threw the whole thing to the bottom of the pile...I'll get back to it eventually, once my frustration settles!

Mario Through The Ages

This next one has been underway for the last 2 months and is likely to take a loooong time for me to finish. Measuring approximately 20cm by 40cm it's another pattern I found here on the sprite stitch forums. The link shows what the stitching will eventually look like as mine is still about 1/3 complete. It's the backgrounds that get me. It's just never ending! I thought stitching one off coloured pixels was irritating...Anyway I'll post more as this comes along over the next few months. I've got night shift coming up, that's always a good opportunity to fill in a few squares while my patients visit snooze land!
