It is a beautiful sunny day in New England. Not too long of an update today as I slept in & I really want to start stitching soon,
Last night at midnight Jim & I started our HAED SAL pieces that we are doing with my 2MuchXS group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/2muchXS/. Come & join us. It is a great group.
Jim is stitching Echo of the Buffalo by Teri Rosario. He is doing it 2 over 1 on 25 count Lugana.
I'm not quite that crazy. I am doing Village Bookstore by Randal Spangler. Mine is 2 over 2 on 28 count Lugana.
Jim says I am cheating because I do mine 2 over 2. Silly man. I'm not crazy.LOL. The only crazy thing I have ever done was marry him 37 years ago.
I am also posting a picture of last week's progress on The Universe in a Jar by Randal Spangler. Sadly it will be put away for a week while I work on Village Bookstore. I am going to revive my rotation also since the other pieces have started whispering to me that they would like another turn in the rotation. So before they start yelling loudly I am going to go with a week on one piece then a week on TUIAJ then another piece etc.
That way I can calm my obsession with TUIAJ & keep the others from yelling. That's the plan anyway & you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice & men.
Withouth further ado. Pictures.
Great progress pic and a start to Village Bookstore. I love that design.
ReplyDeleteYou know you don't mean that! Good luck to you both and love from the Enabler, lol!
ReplyDeleteROFLMBO on the "She cheats" sign. Love it! Great job. I can definitely understand the rotation thing. Doing some rotating myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching start, I love RS designs. Wish my DH would start stitching...that way he'd stop giving me designs to stitch and do them himself!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you both got started on such great choices! I look forward to seeing your progress on them. Theresa
ReplyDeleteGreat starts! I love the note! TUIAJ is looking good. I am really liking the colors.
ReplyDeleteboth new charts look great! I recognize the horror of all those projects whispering, yelling, screaming...:-)
ReplyDeleteI love that you are stitching together! I have to say, I think 2over2 is MUCH more difficult than 2over1! Counting the 2 over always throws me off!
ReplyDeleteYou made such great progress on TUIAJ but I can't wait to see The Village Bookstore! That one is going on my wishlist ;)
ReplyDeleteI only stitch over 1 too because over 2 takes to much concentration for me!
I just had to lol @ the handwritten note your DH included, Cindy. I'm working mine over one on twenty eight count (except Story Keeper), and I love it. I much prefer it to working over two. It's faster too as I use tent stitch, and you only do the first leg of the cross. Grats to both of you on your new starts, and I can't wait to watch them progress. Will he be submitting a piccy every week?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely project you are working on. Looks VERY detailed and time consuming. I'm sure it will be worth every stitch!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress pictures. I love hubbys note lol.
ReplyDeleteI am switching over to Green Man this week.
You have made some nice progress.
ReplyDeleteLOL .... read your hubby's note.
Have fun stitching ~ to you both!
Is it going to be a race? lol Nice progress to the both of you?
ReplyDeleteI think that the two of you starting a HAED at the same time, is cool. Have fun stitching together.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress. I had to revive my rotation also.
