Not much HAED, but lots of Lizzie Kate!
So, here's my bi-weekly progress update on my HAED. It looks almost the same, but the wing is a tad bit filled up compared to to the last time. I really haven't been doing much HAED lately, I've been finding other things to occupy my time.
I've been browsing quite a bit on Etsy for awhile, and I've seen some pretty cool cross stitch cards that have been made. So, I decided to turn my hand to making some cards. It's been a bit of a struggle to get cards, the shipping from overseas is really expensive, and over here in Malaysia, I've contacted a printer who makes printed greeting cards, but they say they cannot provide blank greeting cards. I have no idea why, to me, it seems like it'd be a benefit to them, selling blank cards to me at the same price as printed ones.
Anyway, I decided to go with fully handmade cards to see how well it turns out, so I bought a big piece of card, and got BF to cut and crease them (he's the neat one!). I don't have any fabric glue, so I tested out two methods last night with fragments of Aida and some leftover card, one was using double sided tape, and the other was using super glue. Well, the super glue didn't work too well, it soaked through the holes in the cloth, and stained it slightly. And I present to you my finished products (all Lizzie Kate designs).
Eel suggested that I put a border in to make the cards look a bit better. It's an interesting idea, but for now, it's stuck and completed, so maybe next time!

Competition Rules

Designs chosen are to be of approximately the same sizes. Contestants are free to change their design half way, however it must also be of the similar size to the original design chosen.
Each month, each contestant will deposit USD$20 into a separate bank account.
Every fortnight, each contestant has to update this blog with updated progress pictures.
Prize Money:
If only one contestant completes her design by the deadline, she gets the total amount of money saved by both contestants.
If neither designs are complete, the entire sum of money is to be donated to a charity that is agreed upon by both contestants.
If both complete it on time, the money is divided in the following manner:
60% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design first within the deadline.
40% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design last within the deadline.
* For EeL, completion means full completion. For Sae, completion for the 60% winner total is 210,400 stitches, with the remainder stitches to be completed by the deadline.
