Nova Sunday

Another Sunday and more work on Nova. I really like seeing the different blocks, how they play off each other. The light plays on the thread in such different ways due to the differnt stitches. This is such a new project for me and I love it.



And here is a closer picture of some of the blocks...




The block tally now stands at 361.

OMG!!!!WTFBBQ

Since my hubby is out of town I figured last night would be a good time to pull out all my WIPs..., just to see how many I really have. I guess I wanted to give myself I good heart-attack! So, out of all the cupboards and nooks and crannies I start pulling. WOWZA! I knew I had a few, alright, I knew a had lot. But, this is really crazy. I think I got all of them. It really is more than I can handle... so I need to get cracking and either rotate until they start shrinking down, or go OAATer. And be sever with myself with NO NEW STARTS. Really. I love all these pieces. I'd love to see them done. Then they can sit in boxes with all their finished friends until I find the time to get them on my walls! hahahaha.
Now... to shame me into sticking to my no-new-start-need-to-be-good-and-finish-things (this does not include RRs, gifts, or exchanges) I will list these WIPs.

1.StarMaiden
2. Crystal Ball
3. Boreas

9. Halloween Fairy--for some reason I have more frogs with this one... gah!
10. The Big Zipper
11. French Flower Shop
12. Mother's Heart
13. Hope
14. Don't Bug Me

16. Cirqure de Cercles
17. Tranquility Mystery Sampler
18. PIG
19. Lady Scarlet Box
20. Bee Garden

If I find more... oh please no, I will add them. I think I would like to be at around 5-6 WIPs. That should show the amount of work I really have to do.

Help help I'm drowning in WIPs! Ah well, I'm sure I'll find a way out. glug.

How many?

I was asked how many squares are there in Nova?

Well... it goes from A-V and numbers from 1-18. So, that's 396! Minus the tiny 20 I've done and I only have 376 left to go hahahaha.

I'll have to keep a running tally.... that will be amusing.

The Start of Nova!

Sunday came and yes... I did start Nova. It seems that the curse has lifted. (may it stay gone)


I am really enjoying this one. I think working on it one day a week will be quite fun. Not sure if I will always get as much done as I did this time, but I will at least get a bit done each week.

Working on each square is so neat. All the different types of stitches and all the colours that are in it so far... it is quite amazing. The texture is really something else.

exchanges

Biscornu exchange sent and received. It was fun. It was also the first time I made a biscornu... I don't think it will be the last though. hehe. I can see them being... addicting. The top picture is the one I sent, the bottom is what I recieved.

As for Nova, sigh. I finally do have all the threads. It took going to my not so LNS to pick up the last 2. But, have them I do. And, a kind kind soul on one of the BBs did scan and e-mail me the missing page so I have that as well. I will start it on Sunday. I can only hope all my misfortune is behind me. Cross your fingers.

cursed project, part 2

And yes, the saga continues!

Today I get in the missing Nova threads... sorta. First, they charged me for them. I had already paid for them, but, they charged me for the missing threads anyway. Sigh. So, I send off an e-mail asking for them to reverse the second billing for the missing threads.
And to top it off... I am still missing two threads! HAHAHAHA! It is funny. Really. I am just going to order those two.

This really is a cursed project. I am almost afraid to start it now. I will wait until I have those last two threads ordered and in my hands. Then, gulp, I will start. And I will hope that there will be no more problems! After all I am just setting aside one day a week to work on it. I am hoping the curse will not continue. I am already thinking of this as the Cursed Nova.
