La D Da "Bushel & Peck"18 ct. Lambswool with DMC
it is done!!!! I love this design, but it has been getting on my last nerve since the weekend. I ran out of the border thread...twice, it was cumbersome to stitch the border because the fabric was so large and I couldn't use a frame, and I probably frogged one stitch for every two I put into the border! To make matters worse, my craft room has been 80 degrees since Saturday and I refuse to turn on the A/C. Of course, I can't blame anyone but myself, but it definitely altered my stitching mood! Okay...now I do feel better. After a quick trip to Joanns after work, I was ablet o pick up the thread and finish it. I do love it!
I am still stitching La D Da "Old Glory Angel" and should be able to finish it this weekend. I started both these about the same time and have been alternating between them. I usually stick to one project at a time, but deciding to start two things at the same time. I actually liked it since they were different and I could pick what I wanted to stitch each night . For some reason, I felt more productive since I could see progress on two designs....sure it is all mental since I wasn't really stitching any faster. Anyway, I think I like it...so I need to pick out my next project to start. May stitch an ornament or two before starting larger. Decisions, decisions...
On a side note, while I was in Joanns, they had their packaged DMC 28ct linen for $1.97 per package (reg. price was $7.99). I just had to splurge and bought 8 packs. Though I am on a "stash diet", I just couldn't resist such a great deal. I justified as my way of "stimulating" the economy...it was the American thing to do. Right?!?!
Thanks for looking. Happy stitches.....
