Finally finished part 1 of Claire's Grand ABC SAL! Yay! The picture is a little dark (when are they not! ;-) but I'm using DMC 245 (pink) and 645 (dark grey) on 25-count ecru linen. Now I only have three more parts to go before part 4 comes out!
Ta!

I have seen the design and this will be very pretty. Love the colors. Can't wait to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color combo! I love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors. I have almost managed to keep up with this one, probably because I just love the design so much. I'll follow your progress closely, so no skipping out.
ReplyDeleteHi Cam,
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling??? Hope the cold/flue bug
has departed and you're feeling better. It's
a bad time for colds right now with the weather
seesawing back and forth between cold and snowy
and cool and wet. Hibernation is the only real
means to avoid the lot and unfortunately that's
not an option for most of us...unless you're a
bear.
I was quite pleased to see that L.J. Smith had
written more stories in her Vampire series. I
read the first ones many moons ago and enjoyed
them. A little "simple" in the story line but
she creates great characters and at the time she
was almost the only game in town as far as
Vampires were concerned, not counting Anne Rice.
I understand that there is a tv series in
the works right now. You know...to take advantage
of the Twilight phenomenon. I'm not getting my
hopes up since successful Vampire shows are
something of a rarity on regular tv. Hello,
Moonlight.
I put the final stitches into My Needle's Work
this evening and tomorrow I'll iron her and
take her picture for my blog and then she'll
join all my other finishes in a big drawer
where they patiently (??) wait to be framed...
or something. A finisher I'm not. I don't
even hem pants (you should see my pants) or
put buttons on cloths. I hope to get up the
courage to tackle a finish following directions
available on Vonna's blog and other places but
need to buy materials to do so first.
I've been checking out Claire's Grand ABC
project on the Gazette 94 site and it's quite
a gorgeous and ambitious project isn't it? I
love seeing everyone's different colour choices
for it. Yours is looking fantastic. Makes me
want to stitch it too...oh dear!!!
You know, I was at Michael's a week ago and I
don't remember seeing any hoops like my beloved
blue hoop at all. Mind you, I'm not exactly the
most observant person in the world and besides
I wasn't really looking at hoops while I was
there. I wonder if I can sweet talk my DH into
driving me there again on the weekend to see if
they carry them on this side of Toronto. If not I
might throw myself on your tender mercies and
ask you to pick up a couple of the biggest size
for me.
And speaking of my beloved blue hoop....it is
no more! I picked it up when getting ready to
leave work this afternoon intending to pack it
in my bag and it shattered in my hands. I'm
feeling kinda sad about it.
How pathetic am I??? I'm missing and mourning
a piece of stitching equipment. But we've been
together for over 16 years. Snifffff....
Oh dear. This has turned into one of my epic
comments. Sorry about that. Better go for
now before I start another paragraph...like
I'm doing right now.
Cheers
