My 6th page is done, hip hip hooray!

When we first started this competition, we agreed on updates every two weeks. We started off on a Monday, so technically, we should be updating the blog every Monday. However, things being the way they are, we soon started updating the blog on Tuesdays. Then, it even got to the point that we were updating the blog on Wednesdays!

Today, I'm going to be a very good girl, and do my update on the original day that we're supposed to. I've been struggling over my current page because of all the confetti stitches, and I tried my best to complete it before this update, and I did! My stitching style was more of stitch blocks of the same colour, then do a few confetti stitches, and repeat. It was much less stressful than doing a lot of confetti stitches all at the same time, but it has resulted in quite a patchy look in the overall look.



I'm also not too sure about one of the colours in the fairy's forehead, it looks a bit strange, although I double checked the number. It could be because it was from an older skein, and the colour has somehow changed over the years? Hmm, I'll try to sew a bit with a new skein and hope that the colour is the same, and it just looks weird because it's a patch in the middle of nowhere. Here's what it looks like from far.



DBF's away in Sydney this week, so I foresee some good HAED times to come. Eel, you'd better watch out, I'm catching up!

Competition Rules

Competition Begins: 1st May 2008
Competition Ends: Chinese New Year 2013

Goal: Complete a HAED design by the time allotted.

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.
