Big Happy Dance and WIPocalypse
Its done! Its done! Tonight I finally put the final stitches into my Autumn Mandala which means my Seasonal Mandalas are done! I can finally Happy Dance this entire piece!
Despite all of the black outlining this has been a lovely piece to stitch. I've enjoyed watching the outlines take shape, and the colours shading inside so beautifully.
Stitching on this piece kinda took me back to my childhood. How many of us so carefully coloured inside the lines of our colouring books with our box of Crayola Crayons or Prismacolour Colour Pencils? This is just the grown up stitchy version!
Finishing up this last mandala means that I'm down to my last few projects of my January Crazy Challenge, the 15 pieces I started in the first 15 days of the month. All that leaves for me to stitch up before the year is out are: TW's Sun Dragon, TW's Delightful Dragon Fob, and The Silver Lining's The Big Red... which definitely won't get finished at all!
I still owe you a WIPocalypse report! The official date for the WIPocalypse was a week ago, August 31st. There's been a couple of reasons why I held back on my report! I was of course away having a wonderful girl's stitchy weekend at Kathy's, school started this past week which has left me exhausted, and well of course I wanted to have this Happy Dance!!!!
I didn't work on too many different projects since the last report. I worked a little bit on The Accolade.

Congratulations on your awesome finish!
Yay on your finish! They look great! Think winter is my favourite, love the shading on it - plus my birthday is in winter so maybe I am a little bias ;) hehe.
Ooh, I think the autumn colors are the best. Congrats on a complete finish. Of this project. CJ in OK ;-)

What a huge accomplishment Dani. Congratulations - Your Mandala's look beautiful. I didn't realize that they are all stitched together on 1 fabric. Gorgeous!!!

Yeah, well done! They all look great, my favourite one is Fall with all its orangy browny colours. Happy dance indeed ☺ Mii, x
They are stunning Dani, congratulations!
They look wonderful! I'm happy dancing with you!
The Mandalas are gorgeous. And I definitely look forward to seeing your TW pieces. I don't recognize the titles: are they new pieces that I have overlooked or class pieces that only attendees had access to? Though very far from a finish,I am quite happy with my own progress on TW's Woodland Angel Christmas Stocking but I am always casting about for my next TW project ... and there will always be "another" TW project on my agenda. I know you understand since you seem to enjoy her designs as much as I do!
They look amazing!! Job well done! They remind me of designs I would make with my Spirograph. Remember those, or did I just date myself??
HOORAY! Good for you! They are awesome!
Congrats on finishing the set. I must say, fall is my favorite, but I am partial to fall colors. Now, how are you going to finish them?

I loved colouring in designs like that as a child. Tell Catherine I remember Spirograph! Does she (or do you) remember Altair design books?
Beautiful finish. I love the colours of these designs. You have been busy this is almost a wipocalypse post!
