Why isn't my Bristol Bag from Spring Fling done yet? I started something else. I had to choose what fabric I wanted to use for the Just Nan Limited Edition Flying High Stitching Case.
I bought five different blue linens at Stitchville to choose from. I ended up choosing Smokey Pearl. That name rings a bell in my brain. I've used that before. It is a nice blue with a nice in hand feel to it. So I started. Just Nan always has a ton of color changes. I knew what I was getting into. I like the results so far. This is the back. I hope to finish the back soon.
I got the box of my stitching (and a few goodies!) from BFF#2 yesterday. When I was at J's house, I used her great magnifier/light to finish this:
It is worked on 40 count over two. It wasn't hard, really.
Now I have to finish it off.
I've had a diet detour. BFF#2 sent me some snacks which I couldn't resist. Caramels, sweet and salty snack and double chocolate dipped malt balls. Oh, man, were they good. But now I'm half a pound heavier than yesterday! Not only that but DH says we are going out to eat tonight. I'm in trouble.

Smokey Pearl looks like a great choice.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty.
The Pyns piece is nice, so colorful.
