I got the Just Nan stuff I was waiting for. I love this:
But now I need to kit them up. I went diving into various storage containers looking for the floss.
All three designs call for DMC. I should have the floss here somewhere. I found most of them but for the few I need, I'm going off to Hobby Lobby.
I ordered the linen for the limited edition needlebook. But instead I was sent the fabric for Hedgie. The store is sending me the fabric I wanted but that means I'll have to wait to start it. The other two projects will be quick stitches. Maybe I can start one of them today.
I finished my experiment with the clock design as a front on the needlebook. I worked this side over one. I started by doing full cross stitches but put it down.
Then when I went back I tried just half cross - much better. So the question now is do I go back and take out the crossed stitches so all I have is half cross or do I cross all the half crosses. Or do I just leave it as is? I bet you can't tell where the full crosses are.
The back of the needlebook I stitched over two.
Which side do you like better? I like the over one side.
It was cold walking today but tomorrow is going to be warmer. The bathrooms are clean. I'm getting excited as I leave in a week for Spring Fling.
I've got a finish to show you tomorrow!

I love the look of over one! Honestly, I'd probably have to go back and cross the x's because it would bother me, I think. But old samples often have sections that were stitched differently whether on purpose or not. It makes yours unique!
