My Stitching Buddy & a Restart

Let's start out by saying HI Everyone. Now that that is out of the way we can get down to business.

First up is my stitching assistant Elvira who takes her job very seriously.



This one is "Gee Mom are you sure that's right?"


And this is "What? Am I in your way?"

Next is Jim's restart on Echo of the Buffalo by Teri Rosario. If you remember the silly man didn't  listen to me & started this 1 over 1 on 25 count lugana. Since he "Saw the Light" he has been busy restarting it 2 over 2 on the 25 count Lugana. This is his progress in 10 days. He is slightly past the point where he was when he started over.


Last but not least is my progress on Afternoon Tea. Again I got myself into a situation where I was getting bored with it. The section I was working on was large areas of black.


 Before

 After

So what's a girl to do when she gets bored. Not stitching is not an option so I pulled out Reading by Firefly Light & have been happily stitching away using pretty greens,blues & browns. Pictures of this will be added next Sunday.


Well that's all for now. See you next week.

  2. Beautiful Stitches! I have reading by firefly light too. I can't wait to get started on that as it is so cute! I have a snobby kitty that leaves fur puffs all over my house and doesn't like to cuddle much.

  10. Your assistant is adorable. Maybe she'll help to keep the froggies away. Over 2 is much better for sure. Try listenig to music, book, or even a movie to help get you thru those boring stitch times that have to be done. Hope this helps! Happy Stitching!

  12. Elvira looks very busy inspecting your work. Nice progress, even if it is mostly dark, good idea to change it up with something that is brighter.

  14. I have to say, I'd think the 1 over 1 would be easier than 2 over 2! Counting the 2 to go over is what always gets me!

    Happy to hear that Jim is almost caught up to where he left off, and glad he restarted early on!

    Great progress on Firefly Light!

  15. You must be so happy with an assistent like that. Makes one stitch much faster. I love your updates, but I understand completely about the black being boring. Now maybe you can do just one day a week the black and the other days the cheerful colors:-)
