Another update

So I didn't get nearly as much stitching done as I wanted to yesterday. But that's okay. The border is really getting close to done. I just need to finish the bulk of the right side, and then add in all that gold metallic stuff. Eek. And then of course we've got the backstitching (*headdesk*), the satin stitching, the couching, and the beading (because I'm just refusing to do 12 french knots, okay?). But it's trucking along, and it's really pretty. Even though my camera phone screws up the colors. It's much richer than these pics. I promise to use my camera soon so that the colors actually come through.





On a happy happy note, tomorrow is go to my LNS day! I'm so glad that summer hours have started at work, so that I can get out at noon on Fridays. Definitely gives me time to get to the LNS and shop. I really need fabric, and they're cheaper than Silkweaver. I think the next project I'm going to start is Nora Corbett's "L". I ordered the floss and beads through 123Stitch yesterday, so those should be in soon.

First Post


Because, obviously, I needed another blog. But this one is going to be for my stitching. To post pics and updates, and rants about how much I hate French Knots (because I really really do). And hey, something else to help me procrastinate when I need to be writing, or even stitching ;P


And since you're already here, you can have a pic of my current WIP. It's a Dimensions Gold Collection Petites.
