Poirot Finish

-


FINALLY got Poirot finished last night at Sit and Stitch. There's a lot of open canvas left on this which is a change from the last 2 pieces, the photo on the pattern actually looks as if there is silver fabric behind the piece that shows through the open holes which I likely will have the finisher do if/when I send this one off. I'm still undecided on that one, it's not THAT difficult to finish an ornament but I'm still not that confident of my finishing skills to be cutting up canvas and risk a wrong cut and ruining the whole piece. We'll see... I also have Mojave here waiting to be finished, I was waiting until after the holidays to send anything off since I really wasn't worried about having it for Christmas this year

    Yay on finishing Poirot! It turned out beautifully, but the silver backing would give it even more oomph. Bring on Monrovia! Love the colors and textures in this one. :)

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.
