Monday Update



A very unimaginative title but my head is just not in gear this morning.

Here is the picture of yesterdays work on I Still Do. I was really pleased as I completed the initial and got the little motif done, also just a little bit more of the fuchsians (well thats what they look like to me lol). It may not be a lot of progress but I was happy with what I got done in the time I had. I am looking forward to getting my OTT light which will hopefully allow me to stitch more at night which is usually when I get the most time to sit down and stitch. I have so missed having a good stitching lamp.

I am now off to the dentist - ugh, but first I wanted to thank you all for the really lovely comments you left regarding Cottage Dreams.

ISD is looking gorgeous Helen.

Hope all goes well at the dentist.

Sea Stars still has quite a long way to go yet. It doens't look as though there's much left to do but there's a huge motif yet which will probably take me weeks!

WOW! I really love that red thread you are useing. It just pops right off the linen. Will you be doing any back stitching to the letters?

And your Cottage Dreams is awesome.

How did you trip to the dentist go?

Hi Helen,
Thanks for stopping by!
I saw "I Still Do" also. I was considering stitching it last year for my anniversary, but I knew I would never finish it on time!

I love the little chick too! The colors and shading are just great!
It is coming out a little larger than I thought. I guess it will be a large ornament.

There are 12 little boxes in The Red Thread (4 more to do). I'm sure I will like it when it is all finished, but sometimes I'm not so keen on it. I love the idea of it with the winding thread, but I think some of the designs and the colors could have been better. I am still not sure what I will do with it when it is finished. It is quite long.

Thats coming along nicely helen. The more I see that colour the more I like it.

By the way, I don't need to go looking for mischeif, it pretty much knows where to find me ;)
