Peppermint Purple (Green) - Happy Dance!!

Today the last block (week 52) was released on Peppermint Purple Facebook Group.  I decided to complete this project before going back to SYOA tonight.

Peppermint Purple (Green) - weeks 50 & 51

Last night I finished the outline on book 7. Today I pulled all of the colours to use on the inside square for each book.

I had time last night, so I got caught up on the Peppermint Purple SAL.  Last block (week 52) will be released this Wednesday.  I think I will stitch a plain border around the whole project before framing it.

Week 50

Week 51

Peppermint Purple (Green) - weeks 47 - 49

Last night I finished the 5 letters on the right side of the phoenix, so today/night I thought I’d catch up on the Peppermint Purple SAL. I was 4 blocks behind. I only have 1 more then I’ll be all caught up until Wednesday when the next block is released.

Week 47

Weeks 48 & 49

Here is the whole project.

Peppermint Purple (Green) - weeks 44, 45 & 46

I’m finally all caught up again because I stitched 3 blocks (weeks) last night.

43, 4, and 1 ??

 I am still keeping up with the Peppermint Purple (Green) SAL. I completed week 43, last Wednesday on the day it was released.

I added some more items to the bottom of my Harry Potter SYOA project.  I am not adding the letters at the bottom as originally charted. I found 4 small house crests. This photo shows how I placed 2 on each side. I used the same floss colours and placed them in the same order as the swirls at the top. I will be stitching my wand in the middle under the Quidditch Chapter. Still deciding what colour wood for my wand.

Here is a close up of the 2 on the left.

Finally 1 Knight Bus, which will hopefully balance the top with the castle and train. I started stitching the Knight Bus yesterday. I already frogged most of the purple because I thought the floss colour was darker on my computer screen, but it was too light. I will use the same purple for the whole bus with lots of back stitching to show the details. There was a photo online of the Knight Bus with a Honey Dukes sign on it, so I had to add that little detail (also less purple to stitch). I know the bus is not facing the opposite way from the train, but the back door is only on this side and I wanted to show that detail. I didn't think about that before stitching the train, or it would have been flipped.

Week 36

Week 37

Peppermint Purple (Green) - week34

I finally got around to doing week 34.  I didn’t stitch it like the original pattern was charted.  I only did the main part of the motif because I wanted to have more space along the edges of the block, so it doesn’t look too busy.

Peppermint Purple (Green) - weeks 32 & 33

I completed 2 more blocks for the blackwork SAL.  I’m 2 weeks behind as of today.

Peppermint Purple (Green) - weeks 30 & 31

I decided to take a break from the Harry Potter SAL and work on the Peppermint Purple SAL.

Peppermint Purple (Green) - week 26

I was on the Peppermint Purple Facebook page getting the pattern today for week 26.  People were commenting that this is the halfway mark in the pattern, which means half the year has flown by already.

I’m enjoying working with this green monochromatic colour scheme.

I finished week 25.
