Busy week?
I feel like I had an extra-busy week, but when I try to remember what I was doing I can't. All I know is I didn't feel I had time to switch out projects and so worked on Babysitting
for a couple extra days. I'm on the downward slope of this one and should be finishing it fairly soon. Of course, working on it only every 7 months or so that "soon" may be a couple more years!
Or maybe longer, since I plan to start Chatelaine's Mystery XIII (Peacock Garden) as soon as I work up the courage to spend the $200+ on supplies. I think I will stitch it on 32 count antique white Jobelan and will not be using the NPI. I might substitute Hand Dyed Fibers for the NPI or I might just use DMC. It's a dilemna... you spend so much on the other materials you want to save where you can, and yet it is such a huge investment you want to do it justice by using the best materials possible!
I also purchased Ravencroft's Mistress Winter and Jack Frost in the recent HAED sale and I'm itching to start it. I don't think I will be able to resist!
The next week is going to be another busy one -- although I may be able to get some stitching done since I'll be home all novicaned up one of the days! Plus the furniture repair guy is supposed to come tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed that he can fix my chaise so I can go back to stitching in comfort!
