Arbitary August Days 1-3

 Good evening everyone,

I have completed 3 days of Arbitary August and the F in forest for the MMC.  I have averaged over 200 stitches each day, which is wonderful.  I hope you are making a ton of progress on your projects too.

Day 1 was Funny Bunny by Riolis.  I love this kit so much.  I changed out the Aida to 14ct Vintage Blue Whisper by Zweigart and the kitted wool thread.  Here is the before picture:

I was able to complete 236 stitches.  I mainly worked on the grey bunny and the leaves.

Day 2 I stitched on Jasmine Fairy by Nora Corbett.  I coffee/tea dyed 28ct evenweave fabric and am using the called for floss and beads.  I usually bead last after it is washed and ironed.  It is going to be a gift for my sister, Dawn.
If is hard to believe but I stitched 236 stitches on this project too.  I concentrated on the green in her dress.  She is so pretty.
Today is Day 3 and I stitched on Salem 1692 Halloween Quaker by Witchesgardencrafts on Etsy.  It is on 14ct Aida I hand dyed with the called for floss colors. Start:
I completed 241 stitches today and it is at 41.66%.  
That is all for now.  I am going to post a keychain that I worked on next time along with more progress on my projects for Arbitary August and MMC challenge.

Until next time,
Mary
