Last night I ended up starting the Mill Hill beaded pin pillow while watching the BBC production of Dickens' Bleak House on PBS. As you can see there is not much to look at yet. Even though this is a small design, I have discovered I am slow at beading!! Some of the stitches are cross stitches and some are beads, so you really have to pay attention. It is fun to do, though, even if I am very slow at it!! Tonight it will be back to work on Valentine's Day project #2. I also put in a few stitches on John Foster. It is so hard to not just pull that out and finish it I am so close, but I already feel guilty at being late with the Valentine's gift!
I am not sure if it is the January blahs, or what, but I am contemplating giving my blog a bit of a face lift--I am thinking it is just not that exciting to look at. I may mess around with the design. It would be nice to do something with the banner--I need more visuals I think. I am not all that computer savvy really, but Typepad is pretty good with the templates and making it easy to choose different designs. I have to think about this and decide what I want to include and what can be left out! I will have to take a good hard look at everyone else's see what ideas I might be able to incorporate here. Another little project for those spare moments...
