Fluff-o-Rama had been Cancelled due to ... lack of interest!!!

That's right guys, the pot-o-fluff shenanegans are no more!

I came to this decision because it wasn't generating any interest, and to be honest I was starting to get bored filling a pot with fluff every month and then posting piccies on here.

So there will be no more updates regarding Fluff-o-Rama.

Another project that's also being scrapped are the UFP's (no surprises there)!  I should have perhaps been a bit more proactive with this, but I just can't get excited about finishing projects that are six years old from defunct cross-stitch magazines when I enjoy doing my own so much more.

I may feel the urge to stitch some at some point in the furture, in which case I shall feature them as part of my monthly work in progress round up.  Speaking of which, I still intend to continue this, but perhaps not necessarily monthly -- depends how full the workbag is!

Fluff-o-Rama Update -- June 2011

I should have posted this sooner, but as you know, things have not been so good on Planet Cazzy lately.

I still feel really down, but I wanted to this now because I knew if I left it, I'd forget about it!

 

Fluff-o-Rama Update -- May 2011

Okay, this is slightly later than promised and humble apologies for that.  The last few days have been busy and today I am not feeling so good.

That aside, here's how my fluff pot is getting on:

It's getting rather full now so I think I may need to start squidging things down again in a month or two!

Anyway, that's all for today because I'm far too tired to ramble, and I'm waiting for the postman to deliver my threads!

Till next time ... Keep Kalm and Cross-stitch!!! xx

UPDATES -- April 2011

Sunday greetings to all, here is your monthly round up of everything going on in my stitchy world!


FLUFF-O-RAMA

The pot is filling up, full of black and yellow thread at the top from all the Alex Kidd stuff I have been stitching of late!

Yay!  It's Newton, Claude and Pot 'O Fluff Junior ... LOL!!!

Work in Progress

Over the last two months I have featured seven projects that were in the pipeline.  It's quite sad to say that so far, I have only managed to finish four of these projects!!

Some of them have been posted on my deviantART page and several more will follow this week, but as there's been no movement on the existing WIP's I have only one new offering for now -- "Chomp!" another Alex Kidd sprite:

After, I've done this, I'm thinking it's time to stitch up another In Stitches character -- someone who's not FFVII related!!!

Till next time ... Keep Kalm and Cross-stitch xx

UPDATES -- March 2011

Well, another month has gone by!

February was a s*** month anyway, so I’m glad it’s gone away – and now it’s March, which means lighter nights, better weather and all those fabulous spring flowers cropping up in gardens and verges.

I love this time of year!

So now it’s time for my monthly update of what’s going on in my stitching box. I’ve decided that rather than triple spamming you today, I’m just going to stick everything in one post, so I hope you can stay with me to the end.

Before we get to that, I just want to say “hello” to my new followers – I seem to have a few more jump on board over the last week, so welcome and thank you for watching – I hope you enjoy the ride!

Now to the updates…

Update: Fluff-o-Rama

My mum says that I am very wasteful with my thread, and I would probably have to agree that I am not quite as thrifty as I should be. Because of this, my pot probably looks fuller than it should and given that there is still a fair way to go with this, I’ve decided to chop up my waste thread into very small bits!!!

There’s a lot of paper tubes in there too!

 Update: Work in Progress

Out of the three projects I featured last month only two got finished so I’m not going to show the project still being worked on again. I really should get all these WIP’s finished before I start new stuff, but as I’m sure all of you know, the desire to start new stuff can overwhelm the need to finish outstanding projects!

I have a lot of on-going projects. Some are top secret at the moment (but never fear you will get to see the finished articles on DA later this month), but I have four others that I can showcase:

Alex Kidd – I designed 6 patterns altogether and this is the second one I am stitching. Alex faces off against the game’s 3 sub-bosses in a game of paper, scissors, stone!

WipEout – in the original game, as well as teams and logos, it had details of the pilots who flew for each team. There were 2 pilots per team, making 8 pilots in all. I have charted all 8 pilot logos and am currently working through the first one – John Dekka from Team AG Systems. This is quite a large design, with large areas of colour – this may take me a while to do as I haven’t done much since I started this back in January.

SCI-FI Logos – some of you will no doubt have seen that I have added some sci-fi logo patterns to my website. More will follow (when I can be bothered to chart them), but here are the two I have already charted, getting the blackwork treatment!

The Cylon Helmet is slow going because I need good light to see the holes in the dark fabric!

The Visitor logo is quite quick to stitch – a competent stitcher could get this done in under a week!


Update: UFP’s:

Erm … next!

So that’s it folks for this month. Tomorrow and Friday I’m planning to post some patterns that should make for fun weekend projects!
