Moving right along...NOT!

Well I definitely thought I would be much further along building this blog by now. Thing is, I am unfamilar with where everything is, like where do I get a counter, or more to the point, why do I get a counter??? I see other blogs filled with fun things to "press" and calendars and seemingly more options for formatting. Well, I'll keep looking.

Last night I went to a friend's house for dinner and stitching; together we are creating a needlpoint design of a place that we both have interest in. Neither one of us are designers so we are moving forward at a snails pace which doesn't surprise me. In general we both are fairly methodical in our approach and luckily have many other stitching projects to hold our interest when this get's bogged down. So far we have stitched the outline and have assigned symbols for each space in the design. More details to come.

I call my friend a turbo stitcher as I have never seen anyone stitch at a break neck pace before. It doesn't matter that she's working on 32 count, in the dark, with one hand tied behind her back, she's just plain fast. And good. Her work is quite amazing. I just don't have the discipline to do anything fast, except maybe gain weight.

Two projects, one I'm about to finish is Rio Rincon has been a fun project stitching up quickly. The other is completed, Chinese Lanterns, was also an unusually fast project to stitch. Since I got the chart out of a magazine this project came in under $10 total. No, not including the framing. The framing, yes that is a whole other price point.
So here's the latest submission. Thanks for visiting.
