Happy Dance - Finally!
Just a little Happy Dance. I finished up the "Harvest of Berries" Sampler by
Betsy Stinner, Earth Threads that I started in October. Happy to finish it, only had to frog one blackwork section - 2 times. Once - I was thinking about it because I realized that I was off by 2 threads on the right - the very first leg - I had done over 4 threads instead of 2 - on the left. The entire section was stitched - but.... Then DH said - "oh, well, it's really pretty - but are you going to enter it in something - it's not quite perfect - will anyone notice?" Followed by "Oh, that leg there [a horizontal stich over 2 threads] - it's not laying exactly right, but I guess it'll be right when you stretch it?" So, needless to say, I ripped all 3 inches of black-work, then did it again, and then frogged half because my eyes played tricks and I thougth I was off by 1 thread - but not. So, it's all done. It's not going to be a gift - HAH! And now, I have to decide the framing thing. I'll put a pic up on my website sometime - and solicit opinions. Of course, I should add - the chart was from a feature on Betsy Stinner, in the April 2000 Just CrossStitch. Who says I can't find things in my stash? I think I had been ready to do this, had all but two of the Weeks colors, bought them, put them in a little bag with the rolled up piece of linen - and forgot about it - until it nearly bit me from the book case in my office. That was the weekend fun. Lots of stitching time to finish it - while our phones were out for 4 days! Nice - the telemarketers don't hit the cells! Ellice |

Congratulations!!!
In March or so I am finally starting the Leon Conrad book I bought with his threads --Elizabethan elegance--. I got it last Christmas and have not opened it! I have two sweaters to finish and quilt as IOUs from this Christmas and then it is my turn. |

I understand this feeling - I'm just happy to finish something that's actually just for us, just because I liked it. Now, back to the sewing for others ;^) ellice |
