Six Fat Men SAL-this is my progress from Monday's stitching (except I had to do it on Tuesday) I had an appointment for a haircut and we do have to consider our beauty! The snow drift on the left hand side had to be frogged when I got 2 rows from the green border and realized I had about 5 rows to go. I really didn't want to frog that expensive Crescent Colours thread but I had no choice. I bought all of the recommended hand dyed threads to stitch this series. I have to say there are several colors that just don't show up any better than good old DMC. I have about 1 good stitching length of the Whitewash and then I'll be going to my 2nd skein. I only bought 3 thinking there was no way I would need the 5 that were recommended. Went online to 123.com to order more tonight and I couldn't find it in stock. RATS!!! I'm having a hard time only stitching on this project once a week. I was happy with my progress this week. Next week I hope to finish this chart and get another one started. I also need to finish the top with the last word Heart!
Today I started a needle book from EMS.com. They have a set of charts for a pin cushion, scissor holder, scissor finder and needle book. I have so many needles in the bottom of my stitching box that I decided I really needed a book for them. I have a couple of them but they aren't cross stitched so they just won't due. Did I mention they were free downloads?
Hope you all have a great rest of the week and find lots of time to stitch. We have a "big storm" coming in so it will be really nice to be in Las Vegas for a long weekend with some old friends. They aren't really old we've just known them for a long time.
o.O I must have missed that somewhere... Did not realize 5 skeins of Whitewash is needed. Luckily, I think I should have enough floss for my project. I know I have quite a few skeins of BeCreamed (the HDF floss I'm using) in my stash somewhere.
ReplyDeleteEMS designs are lovely. She's the first designer I stumbled upon on the internet years ago :)

Lovely stitching. I must admit I usually stay with DMC but I tried Crescent Colours on my LHN The North Wind and it does look very pretty.The Marshmallow colour is so subtly shaded.
