I have been putting in at least one long thread in the hemstitching for Mistress L. I am just over half done. Maybe I can finish that up today. It looks so much smaller when it is hemmed.
I am ready to put paper on the back of the trinket box parts. I have to iron them and stretch them. Ugh. But I would love to have that done.
I've been seeing all these full coverage pieces on FlossTube. I wanted to put some stitches in my BAP. So I dug it out and tried to figure out where I was. Not easy.
How do you not get lost in this? I have one chart page done. I'm working on page two at the moment. I don't know how to "park". I tried watching a video (it was on diagonal parking) and it was so confusing. I decided to let this marking tape be my friend and help me figure out where I am. So I put tape on my chart and tape on my piece. I'm putting a big X on the chart squares I have finished. That's the only way to get a sense of accomplishment on this. I don't think I could work on this and have anything to show on this blog. Do I stop blogging? Do I show it anyway?

Trinket box is going to be gorgeous! Uh, I mean your stitching already *is* but the finished box will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteRe your BAP - I look at huge solid-stitched pieces people are doing and I just cannot conceive doing something like that. Saw a pic on ... somebody's blog who was stitching a solid piece and the parked threads looked almost like in-process weaving on a loom!
Looks like Mistress L is almost ready to hang somewhere - that should make you feel a seriously big sense of accomplishment.
2 great projects almost done!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty.
Is that BAP the baby ghosts?
PLEASE don't stop blogging.
I love seeing all of your interesting projects.

Your trinket box is amazing! Very intimidating for me, lol! I also love the hemstitching to finish off Mistress L. As for your BAP, I think you should keep blogging the progress you make, especially when you have a page finish. That's huge when stitching one of those, lol!
