[ristvak]

19 hours, 40 minutes @_@

Cool!!! That's looking great. I can't wait to see it once the waste canvas is off!

[ristvak]

Haha, I'm right there with you! I'm terrible about waste canvas because I get bored with it half way through and spend the rest of the project fighting the compulsion to start picking at the corners XD So close, but sooooo far away.

::edit:: and at 22.5 hours.... I'm done stitching, whoo!!!

Spoiler

Now I have to take a break for dinner, but I'm planning on having the waste canvas removed before bed tonight ^_^

::edit:: And another near hour later.... DONE!



I'm almost positive that I won't get the price I want for her, but I'm just glad to be done for now!

Soooo cute!! How was it pulling the waste canvas out this time?

[ristvak]

GNARG! lol.

It snapped a lot >.< Mostly in places where there were gaps between chunks of stitching (like from her extended leg to her face/hair, and then the words) But it was MUCH easier to get in the stitches and fish it out than the last time I had a snapping project. And eventually i reached I point where i was pulling 2 - 4 strands at a time with no problem.

I was doing my best to NOT get frustrated with it. It helped that I started pulling strands in my kitchen as I was waiting for water to boil, so I just told myself it was happening because I was rushed and standing awkwardly and I just needed to put it down and do it after I ate... which turned out to be a bold faced LIE but at least it helped convince me to take a break before I got homicidal XD

::edit:: here's an ACTUAL picture as well in case anyone cared. Gives you a sense of the size as well

This looks so great! I'm inspired to make my own tote bag for my x-stitch projects now.

[nipponnay]

It's turned out really good, well done! I really like the stitching inside the letters. I hope you get a good sale out of it x

I have a bag to hold my WIPs, it's a 13.5" x 13.5" one though. This one may be a bit small to hold a whole lot (it's only 10"w x 8"h).

and thanks nipponnay, I think I'm going to get the price I want out of it, but it's still pretty low for the time involved!

I don't know about you, but I LOVE tote bags! I can never have too many and they DO make wonderful gifts!

The bag is so cute!! You guys kindof scared me from the waste canvas stuff, but it seems like something I may like to try someday
