More background, with a little wing



My pictures aren't going to be very interesting from now on, I've moved past the face, and am mostly working on the background, with a little wing thrown in. I've been consistently doing over 1000 a week, which is not too shabby, considering my weekly quota is 910. So, if I keep it up at this rate, I'll either be able to finish early, or more likely, relax when I go for my next holiday (which will be Eel's wedding in August).

I've been considering starting on a different page, and working on two at the same time. This page has been going pretty quickly because of the background, but as I look at the design further down, it looks like there's going to be a lot of colour switching coming up, so maybe I should just do it simultaneously? I'm not sure though, that would mean moving my fabric around on the Q-snaps quite a bit, and I don't have the patience for that.



One of the shows I've been watching lately is The Mentalist. The main character, Patrick Jane, works as a consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation. He used to work as a psychic who also helped out the police. One day, he was being interviewed by a TV show, and he claimed boastfully that he would be able to track down a killer. What happened next was the killer came after his family and murdered his wife and kid. So, now he is a consultant, and makes use of his amazing mental capabilities to help close murder cases.

The main actor is pretty funny in the show, he has the ability to look at people and know whether they're lying or not by their facial expressions. In the last episode I watched, he knew that this lady was hiding something in her apartment, but it was too messy for him to search through. So, he held her wrist and walked around the room. He could pinpoint exactly what the object was because her heartbeat got faster as he walked closer to it!

That's about it for me for this update, expect bigger things to come soon! Eel and I have a surprise planned for this blog. :)

Competition Rules

Competition Begins: 1st May 2008

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.
