I wonder what could possibly be in this box from Needlecaft Corner? Hmm.
Yes, it is my "Village of Hawk Run Hollow" chart and supplies! I guess patience really is a virtue! Now I am very in the mood to stitch! So far I have only taken out the linen, floss and chart and looked them over quickly. First things first--must get dreaded chores out of the way! I ordered the called for NPI silks and 40 count Sand Dune linen from Lakeside Linens. The colors look great on the linen. I hope I can start it tonight, but workweek evenings are horrible stitching nights for me.
I worked on the birthday gift today that I should be done with (which is now going to be late). I love the designer and the design that I chose, but there is a lot of backstitching and then more backstitches that go in at an angle, but they are not in between the backstitches (to make it easy)--rather for three back stitches, I have to put in angled stitches every three threads. It has made for very slow going!! I wish I had chosen a different design, but it is too late to start over now! So maybe this would be a nice break to start VoHRH. Now how to juggle this and HoHRH!!!
