I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up. So Monday, I picked up a new cross-stitch, Mystical Wizard. More on that later but here are the colors. Wednesday, I decided to work on one of my sewing projects. A 17.5" stuffed Christmas tree. I was going to make the 12" one but I had enough fabric if I ignored the included cutting diagram and got away with 1/8" less. But come Thursday, I was tired of my cross stitch. There's only so much I could take of stitching blue on blue, and mainly two colors of blue. Of course the upper left is the least interesting part color-wise of this piece. So I switched to The Accolade. I'll include the last photo I took of it (with my old phone) because I didn't get that many rows finished. But not bad for only two days. And as today is Sunday, I worked on Insanity again. And...
Happy new year to all. And a happy birthday to me. I figure I should post my new years resolutions. Last year's was to lose 10 lbs. I managed to lose 15. Go me. 1. Lose another 10 lbs. 2. Finish at least one cross-stitch project that I have in my stash. 3. organize my craft closet. Yeah... That closet. Suggestions would be great. Projects startedjust before the new year were a new latin dress that I believe I mentioned in my previous post and the dimensions kit 'Frederick'. Right now neither looks like much so no pictures. I'll take a picture of the dress when it looks a bit more than just an unfinished bathing suit.
I know I try and post on Saturdays but considering where I was I decided to wait a day. Because I finished Foxtrot. And I got a new phone, the Galaxy S4 which took the lovely picture above. I had an 8 MP camera and now have a 13MP. Makes a bit of a difference. I wanted to start Dance me Out and opened the kit to find one of the thread colors missing. I'm going to check the others by this company to see if it's a fluke. Unfortunately it's anchor thread and that's not easy to find in the US.
Its looks very beautiful, good progress
