Pokémon Feb Update 3

I did have every intention of making Mondays my post day for my updates for my Pokémon WIP. 
This week I ended up working the late shift at my job and I didn't get home until late so I practically went straight to bed as soon as I got in. 

I thought no big deal I'll just post tomorrow when I get home from work. Once again that didn't happen because I fell asleep. No idea why, because I wasn't even that busy at work. So here I am only 2 days later than planned updating you all on how I'm getting on. Even this nearly didn't happen because my Internet crashed and most of what I had written hadn't been saved. Hopefully I will be just as happy when I rewrite it.

I've slowly been seeing less and less white spaces in the section that I'm working on and I can slowly start to see it filling up and Pokémon beginning to take form and become recognisable. One of the best parts of my week was showing my friends at work my progress pictures and seeing the amazement on their faces of what I have completed so far.

Normally, when I post a picture its after I have completed all the stitches in a certain colour in the section I am working on, so there is no threads in the way. This time I have decided that I want you all to see where I am as I post, rather than where I was however long ago.

I've currently been working on Wartortle. He's a water type Pokémon and the evolved form of Squirtle. In the first generation of Pokémon games he is number 8 in the Pokédex(Kind of a dictionary of Pokémon for those of you that don't know what that is).

So there you go, thank you all for reading this and I hope you all have a great week :D

Pokémon WIP Feb Update 2

So I've had the last week off work, I started with the intention of finishing decorating my bedroom, sorting out some bits and doing some stitching, lots and lots of stitching.

The week started off well with me putting another coat of white paint on the walls but that was about as far as I got with the decorating. I did however manage to sort out a lot of my stuff, the downside to this was bring up even more stuff from my parents house, which has just been left in my hallway.

At the beginning of the week I didn't get much stitching done, but I started to do more towards the end of the week until I got my valentines present (a new game for my Xbox). Over the weekend I've tried to split my time between playing my game and stitching, not very successfully may I add. 

So here's where I am at the moment.

When I look at how much I've done compared to other people, I start thinking god I'm slow and I've got too many distractions. But then I remember that although it doesn't look like a lot in pictures it is actually quite a lot of stitches that I have completed seen as I'm using 14ct Aida.

I'm going forward into this next week, with the plan of continuing my stitching and playing games in fairly equal amounts and then maybe next weeks update will have a bit more to show :D

I would like to end this weeks post by saying thank you to all of you that have read my post or even just visited my page. Remember to do what you enjoy and make the most of life. 

Thanks again!

I'm Back at Last

So its been quite a while since I've posted anything, its mainly because I hadn't had time to do much stitching with being so busy at work and I just wasn't in the mood to do any stitching so all my stitching was put on a back burner. I did treat myself to some new kits with some money I got for X-mas, a couple of them are mini kits so that should be ok to satisfy my need to finish something.

I started stitching again a week or so ago and i thought i would wait until now before posting anything new. my reason behind waiting was that it was a year ago that I first started my Pokémon WIP. I had hoped that i would have completed more of it, but last year was a bit of an unlucky one so a few days after I started it I didn't touch it again for a few months.

So a year on I've completed 3 out of 30 pages and have done over 10,000 (not sure how many exactly with being in the middle of a page)stitches out of over 115,000. 

So here's to the second year of stitching this and hopefully getting more done than the last =]
