Something different

-
I've decided to do pull out pig to work on for a change. There isn't a whole lot left to do, the black areas and finishing bits on the shirt and face. The background on this piece is a nice open diagonal stitch to allow the paint to show through which I'm looking forward to stitching, quick and easy once I get to that point. If I can stop getting distracted by everything else I want to do I might have this one done soon.




I've done a bit of work on the shaker boxes as well, I'm working on the emery which has been a real treat *cough* *cough* No really :) I don't know how they think I'm going to fit emery in this tiny thing but as I have no plans to actually use it the emery won't be missed if I don't stuff it inside. I'll hopefully post a pic of that and a bit more progress tomorrow.


On the stash front I've picked up some yarn for a project I hope to get started at some point this summer ;) This is just your basic average Red Heart with a tweed look to it. Easy care, washable, not my favorite yarn at all but it will be easier care than the wool I was looking at, I very much do not like having to watch fibers and care tags when I wash things. With my luck I'd forget and I'd have a nice wrap sized just right for barbie :p

    I really like the yarn that you chose for the wrap. It's going to be so nice! And I'm all about easy care. I'm irritated that the most recent shirts I bought for work are going to require ironing. I like things I can pull out of the dryer, plop onto a hanger and then wear. :)

    Your pig is coming along very nicely; can't wait to see him done! I think he's already doing a happy dance of his own. ;)

    OMG the pig is a riot! I love it. I think the wrap is going to be beautiful in that yarn. Sometimes easy care is the best. (I also hate reading labels and washing according to them LOL.)

So, totally hoping this was not the direction of this ride.  Can someone tell the operator I want off?  I went from working 3 days per week, to back to a normal shift with overtime. A few more weeks and they sent me home with all my hardware so my commute is down to 32 seconds.  Traffic still sucks, only now its dogs following me and complaining I am not sharing breakfast. This is what I have to put up with, I'm being judged for not sharing a banana.   We also have an afternoon dinner dance every day.  It starts around 2:30pm and dinner is served at 5pm.  Riley is perpetually starving and may die at any moment despite having plenty extra snacks stored on his fuzzy butt. Stitching has been moving along. I've got all the stitching in on Ambrosia honey and am now on to the beading and a few details. Beading is taking a while, I'm reworking how the beads are applied. The model piece photographed for Needlearts, the beads look jumbled and messy to me.  I like

Its been a year, again. I see really good in spring and then life gets away from me and its a free for all.  With the current pandemic around the world, I'm spending a lot more time at home as you might imagine.  It took a few weeks but I finally found my way back to my needle and thread. Ambrosia honey has been possibly the most enjoyable of the current projects in the pile so I started there.  The starting point and a nice glass of wine because, COVID-19 I started a new job in December and I don't have quite enough tenure to qualify for work from home so I'm at the end of the list, for safety I've been working 3 days per week so they can limit how many people are in the office at once.  The upside to this for me personally was extra time to stitch. This is really fun to work on, despite there being a lot of compensation where the different designs run into each other. I don't mind compensation and it had been interesting to see colors that looked ter

Only a day late and that is because I was fussing with yardage for starting another afghan yesterday and booing at the weather forecast that kept promising a lot of snow which I know will never materialize. If it snows, it really needs to be enough that I get a snow day or at least a work from home day.
