Kit: Under Heaven Cranes by Riolis
Time: 12 days
Notes: I definitely got carried away with the two others from this set and overestimated myself for this one. I planned for it to take roughly a week but literally every part of this took twice as long as I expected, which was very frustrating. Not helped by my distaste for backstitching. But! The set is complete now and will eventually be framed.
Kit: Lotus Field Heron by Riolis
Time: 7 days
Notes: I was so crazy about finishing this one. Like, rest of my life on hold, could not stop until I was done levels of obsession. Which led to a record breaking finish time for me. This one is the same size as its companion piece but took half the time to do. Hopefully I'll be more normal about the next one.
Kit: Under Heaven Hills by Riolis
Time: 2 days
Notes: I finished the companion piece to this so quickly that I couldn't help but jump on this one. It's been really nice to get to the accomplished feeling of finishing a project back to back like this.
Kit: Under Heaven Lake by Riolis
Time: 3 days
Notes: I knew this one was going to be quick because it's pretty small (6"x6") and is almost more backstitching than cross-stitching. But I still got it done surprisingly fast! Can't wait to see the full set done together.
Pattern: Lotus Field Fisher by Riolis
Time: 13 days
Notes: I love the watercolor style of this pattern, though I'm a big hater of single strand stitches. Gimme my double thread stitches! Less knots means quicker work and a cleaner looking back. Unfortunately, this is the first of a three pattern set so I'm trapped in single thread hell for a bit.
Kit: Steam Locomotive by Rokr
Time: 7.5 hrs
Notes: I've been holding onto this kit for quite some time, afraid of messing it up. Unfortunately, I did damage the gear shift while trying to fix it. It does still work with a little extra effort though and the wheels function wonderfully! Pretty pleased with it.
Kit: Paris Cathedral by Rowood
Time: 2.5 hrs
Notes: These smaller scale architecture sets are my favorite. This will be going in my travel corner collection with the others, which hasn't had a new addition for about a year. Exciting!
Kit: Space Shuttle by Rokr
Time: 7.5 hrs
Notes: I neglected to do the recommended electronics check before building the shuttle so I'll never know if I installed the ignition flame LEDs upside down or they came broken. Oops. There are a couple other glitchy things like the fact that it will only go through the launch sequence once unless you unplug it and plug it back in, which cannot be my fault. But it's still really cool and I love showing it off.
Kit: Vintage Car by Rolife
Time: 2 hrs
Notes: I didn't enjoy this kit. A lot of the pieces were intended to be glued together which, in my experience, usually isn't a great sign of the quality of the design. Comparing it to other kits of the same brand, I've had much better. We're only going to look at one side of the car because the handle on the driver's side was shattered.
Kit: Poinsettia by Rowood
Time: 1.5 hrs
Notes: It's quite a bit smaller than I expected it to be but still very cute.
Kit: Christmas Wreath by Rolife
Time: 3.5 hrs
Notes: I had been a little intimidated to start this one but it was surprisingly straightforward and not very complicated. The pieces were fairly thick so I didn't have to worry too much about breaking them. It is hefty though so I have no idea how to hang it without it breaking...
Kit: Parachute Tower by Rokr
Time: 5.5 hrs
Notes: I was pretty proud of this one when I finally got it to work during my test run. Then I turned it back on to take a picture and maybe a video and one of the parachutes snapped off. As a firm believer of "if it doesn't work then at least make it look good," I managed to thread the string back through the top so the parachute is still hanging, even if it doesn't move anymore.
Kit: Purple Moth Orchid by Rowood
Time: 1.5 hrs
Notes: We're just not even going to talk about how many steps I had to go back and redo throughout this whole build. Or the drop of superglue I accidentally got on the butterfly so it will be forever wet looking...
Kit: Red Carnation by Rowood
Time: 1 hr
Notes: This one appears to be one of the older flower kits, using the old style base that I believe only appeared in the first set of flowers. I like that it holds more of the little flourishes, though I think I prefer building the newer style.
Kit: Sakura by Rowood
Time: 1 hr
Notes: All hail the power of superglue for the times when you misjudge your strength with tiny, delicate pieces of wood.
Kit: Chamomile by Rowood
Time: 45 min
Notes: I forgot to use the trick of popping out the one sided pieces from the back to avoid chipping the front of them and ended up gluing the chip to my fingers instead of the rest of the flower. But I think I did a decent job of hiding the chipped flower in the back.
Kit: Pink Lily by Rowood
Time: 1 hour
Notes: Kits with a lot of accordion pieces make me a bit nervous but this one went fairly smoothly. Instead the annoyance was definitely with the stickers for the stamen.
