My March HAED Madness

So my HAED insanity continues to grow. Sometime last year HAED announced that one of my favorite artists was pulling her artwork from the HAED site. So I was of course FORCED to buy two of her patterns that I just couldn't live without. The artists name is Nene Thomas. I bought two of the Storykeep patterns so at least they aren't that big (Yeah Right!)...
Storykeep Aquamarine

Storykeep Dragon Moon

Dragon Skies was RAKed to me by a lady whom I've enjoyed getting to know in the blog world Justine. When I originally received her I was thinking Oh I will wait until next year cause I already have so much going on.....Yeah Right! She has been haunting me ever since. So I figured might as well start all 3 right?! I got 32ct Taupe Lugana to do them all on. The piece for Dragon Skies is so HUGE! Funny part about Dragon Skies I was worried about it since Selkie is all blues on the first few pages. So I wondered what Dragon Skies would bring me and hoped it wasn't blues. It's all white! So at least it will be break from the blues. So I will have 6 HAEDS in my WIP pile. It's okay cause I just LOVE working on them.

I love the drawing for Dragon Moon and I am intrigued as to how much detail they can get into only 100 stitches wide.

I shall follow with interest!

Three lovely HAED charts there, Katie and I shall enjoy watching them all grow. Each chart brings a different colour plaette so you can work as your mood takes you. Now let's see how much colour you can get into your progress bars! :)

You are so brave, lol. You always come up with great finishes, so I will be looking forward to these three HAEDs with much anticipation.

I've enjoyed getting to know you too! As long as you're having fun it doesn't matter how many are in the WIP pile. I love the colours in Aquamarine, looking forward to seeing them all started soon (but don't forget Hope as I just love her).

Dragon Skies is my favourite out of the 3 so Justine had RAKed you a wonderful design :) All these beautiful HAED!!! I will definitely admire your progress on all of these as I've tried HAED and must put my hands up & admit they are not for me BUT I've always loved all their details. Simply beautiful. As long as you're having fun, we will all be cheering you on :)
