December 1 started a Heaven and Earth Designs stitch-a-long. I am doing the Books Reading Books design. It is going so well I am lulled into thinking this is going to be relatively easy. I am doing it on 18 county Aida because the 25 county I got originally was just too small and too distracting for me.
I am trying not to think about how stitching will go when I get to the portion of the picture that has a letters inside the book. One stitch at a time, right.
I did get all the floss put on bobbins (most of it anyway) and am a little surprised that it doesn't use more colors. It has a total of 86 colors which is not bad. It has lots of area that only has a couple of colors and not much confetti. When I get to the actual picture I am sure things will slow down, so I am making an effort to do as much stitching as possible before I get to the 'hard' part so that I stay motivated.
I have also done more work on the linen that I am learning. It is coming along and is getting a little easier. I am hoping to be more comfortable with this fabric as I have a couple of 2015 projects that use evenweave and/or linen.
This is a Thea Gouverner kit that I got off of Overstock.com. It is going pretty well. Magnification and lighting sure help!
So that is about it for the first of this month. I put in a few hours on Woodland Enchantress. I have kind of lost interest in that project for now. I am sure I will pick it up after the new year.
And of course I have not stitched at all on Bay Dunes, Cranes or any of the other WIPs I have going. Oh well.
Thanks for visiting.
