Top 5 Tuesdays - Day Late!

I'm a day late for Top 5 Tuesdays, it's been a busy week. Kate thought of a really cool topic too, Top 5 BAPs! 

Without further delay:

TOP 5 BAPs

This should be easy, I have too many BAPs in my stash that I may never stitch in my lifetime. So I tried to pick the top 5 I'd like to finish some day in my life. Let's give it 10 years and see if I can actually finish by then!

1. HAED Faery Tales

I've always loved the look of this one and I loved fairy tales when I was a kid. I've read all of the Andrew Lang books and have them on ebook for DD too. :) I have the mini version in my stash, but it's unstarted as yet, maybe next year. 

2. HAED Waterhole Master

I hadn't seen this one before it slipped into my cart at a recent HAED sale. I think DD will really like it once I get some time to start it. I'm hopeful this will see a start next year. 

3. Otto

I love this photo of Otto, who died almost 3 years ago. This one is started, but only just. I haven't even finished a full page yet. I hope to get this one out this year for a little while and maybe at least finish a page. 
I'm stitching this one 2 over 1 on 32 count. It's huge!!

4. Princess and the Dragon

I love this one! It's from Charting Creations and I'm looking forward to completing it. I saw someone stitching the outline and sort of "colouring" in the middle and it does make it easier to not make mistakes. I've made a few. Some needed to be frogged and some I could manage to work around. I hope to get to this one soon! 

1 over 1 full crosses on 28 ct Amarinthine Jazlyn by Chromatic Alchemy

5. Triumphant Ride

This is the sequel to number 4, and I plan to stitch it on Vincent from Chromatic Alchemy. 

I won't start this one until I finish number 4, so it might be a couple years. 

I hope you like the list and sorry for being late!

    1. Thank you Linda. They will all take a long time to finish, but I hope to get some WIPs done this year and feel a little less weighed down with projects by the end.

  9. All of your BAPs are great, but my favorite by far is Otto--the epitome of basset nonchalance.
