I'm well into the I in the Vickery Collection "Fish" design. I'm grumbling enough about all the kelp that I think I'm going to take a break and work on a different, smaller project for a few days once I've got the I done. I've been taking pictures of my progress, but it's been a heckuva week or so and I haven't had a chance to post. I also haven't got as much stitch done as I'd like. The friend whose birthday this is for is going to have to wait a bit for it. Luckily, he understands. He's got two pieces of mine and often asks if I'll make him something else. ( Progress pictures! )I also made the mistake of going to the LNS last week in search of some extra floss I'm going to need. I seriously underestimated the amount of one particular shade of green in this piece. While I was there, I bought four more patterns. I couldn't find a link to the Jeweled Scarab by Dimples. It's the special Nashville Market edition. I also ordered Eve by La D Da and a pattern whose name I can't remember that the sweetie adored. Sort of an American rustic cat. I also got my linens from Silkweaver! I'm so very excited! I'm going to be doing Cirque des Cercles on their 32-count linen in Thunderstorm. I also got a few of the Solos minis and my mind has already come up with uses for three. One that's a lovely blue is going to be the background for the French Country Lark pattern, which I'm going to do in a deeper blue. I will try to get pictures of the solos once lighting is better. And now I'll stop nattering! Cross-posted to wayaTags: stash, wip Current Mood: cheerful
