A busy weekend means all my updates come out in one fell swoop. After road tripping to the San Francisco Bay Area for my 10-year high school reunion, I'm looking forward to some detox time at home this week. And guys, I am this close to being able to start stitching in another color on my cross stitch project!
I think that color needs to be vibrant. Maybe red. Or bluuuue. Something—anything other than black. Although the feeling of accomplishment that will wash over me when that final black thread is stitched... Pretty epic.
As the stitching fabric gets softer and more pliable, the embroidery hoop impressions are beginning to fade. The wrinkles are flattening, and I get to see what she's really going to look like. And I may or may not have scrolled through the shop where I found it to decide on the next piece I'd like to tackle.
But one thing at a time. Next week, I promise there'll be some color to share.
I like this one. https://www.etsy.com/listing/109484979/cross-stitch-modern-art-by-gillian?ref=shop_home_active_16
ReplyDeleteThat's very you, so pretty! I'm really loving doing this lady, and I'm tempted to do another. This one, in particular, caught my eye.
