Another weekend away, but a busy weekend this time, so I spent only 1.5 hours on it (total 27.5). I worked some more on the blackwork/cross stitch on the inside of the second pattern.

A mon seul desir cross stitch week 17
I had a busy busy week this week, so I only worked on Mon Seul Desir for 6 hours (322 total). To be honest, I think I am suffering from Mon Seul Desir overdose. It is such hard work for such little progress, I think I need a break. I know already that I won’t finish this page in one month, so I am going to take it slow.
Oh, the major feature on this page is a bird, and the line you see going from halfway on the left side down to the center bottom line is it’s wing. Much bigger than the rabbit on the first page.
Permin Vierlande – Weekend 3
Another weekend away, and another weekend spent working on the Vierlande. I spent 12 hours on it this week, for a total of 26 hours. I finished my first (center) pattern, and decided to work on page 1 first. I did the outline of the second pattern and started on the center, but this one contains some blackwork so that is slowing me down a bit.
I only worked a couple of hours on A Mon Seul Desir this week, pics will be updated later and because I don’t have to work next week I hope to spend more hours working on it.
Permin Vierlande – Weekend 2
I spent the weekend away, so I took the Vierlande kit with me for some stitching. Between having fun I spent about 6.5 hours stitching on the center piece (for a total of 14 hours now, including frogging). Although I love the design the combination of the stiff fabric and the threads makes stitching a pain sometimes. I have way more knots and thread breaks that I do on Mon Seul Desir, even though this thread is also DMC… But, on the positive side, it is nice to see some quick results.
A mon seul desir cross stitch week 16
A couple hours late, but I did finish page 5 (the third full page of the top row). This pages feature is the first (left) flag. I love the detail!
I spent 18 hours on it this week (taking advantage of two days off), for a total of 316. I spent 94 hours on this page, so I guess it is safe to say I will spend 100 hours per page on average….
Some more stats: total stitches is now approximately 21.000 (out of 347.100 total). That makes it about 6% out of the total. And what does that look like? Like this:
