Still Stitchin'

-

Almost there with this one. I am extremely pleased with how the color contrast looks despite my dislike for working black on black. I think the finished piece will be well worth the aggravation. I have just the red left, both the black borders are in now, just some red to get finished here.



I've been cleaning... again. I was looking for a chart and couldn't find it so I started tearing everything up and reorganizing everything AGAIN. Gee, imagine my surprise when I found a ton more projects that I didn't have in my stash album. Wait, I need a moment to pretend to be surprised. I'm up to 240 projects, I have one on its way to me that was a gift that I'm aware of, but that really needs to stop so I can try to catch up ;) We'll see how long that lasts as I have the willpower of a child in a candy store. I will get to pick up one more thing at some point here, Maidens of the Seasons II from Mirabila is on order and should be appearing, not sure what happened with that order the LNS said the order is late, not that I care so much as I'm not starting it but I do want to get it to go with part I before they do something silly like discontinue it.  And I'm not about to give up my magazines either. I get Inspirations and Embroidery and Cross Stitch and I love them both.

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.
