Hello! Hope your weekend is going well. Random selected a name for me and it is Anonymous Barbara. I looked up the Anonymous entries and Barbara left her email address - thank you!! I'll be sending a note asking for your address and will mail your boxes Monday morning. Thank you everyone for participating. I was feeling bad that I only had one offer so ...well....you know how that guilt thing goes. I may have to go get another box or something. I really appreciate all of you wanting these little boxes of mine so I may have to get busy. Now for the loser....
ME!!! While I was deciding on a sampler, I thought I would knock out Pineberry Lane's Wool Pinkeeps. A wonderful stitching bud gifted me with a piece of the 18th Century Rook linen and I am using Medici wool for the thread. I found skeins of ecru, gray, and black and I think it's appropriate for this Wool design. So take a look at what I stitched.. and then look at the actual chart.
Putz. Pure putz. I stitched the two W arms with the two stitch row NEXT to the left one instead of UP! I looked at this chart over and over and why I did this, I haven't a clue. One long look and I thought - holy cow that's one big W! Good thing I caught it now! It wasn't easy removing this wool thread but duct tape removed the fuzz and I'm starting over. I am having a problem with the linen and will try to show it here. One side of the linen is darker and more aged looking than the other but do you see a difference in the weave? The one on the right (which I am stitching on) appears to be a honeycomb and the other side (left photo) looks like what I am used to seeing. I'm having a heck of a time but like the darker side. Never saw this before and maybe it's just me!!
We finally had rain and it's cold here - I'm not a happy camper. But my portulaca paint can pots finally bloomed!
Tomorrow I will be posting all the new charts from R&R. Have a great Sunday! Thank you again for participating and visiting!
Talk to you soon.
