Friday Progess

Not much progress - but I am stitching again!

Snowman Photobooth
32 ct linen included in kit
Recommended floss

Hearts and Diamonds
40 ct Newcastle Summer Khaki
DMC floss
Ladies, I have come a LONG way in less than a year. When I started blogging last April I stitched on aida almost exclusively. Now, all linen and even weave. I have a few projects (Mystic  Stitch) that require the strength of aida - but everything else is linen! And the 40 ct is the highest count I have attempted.
Hearts and Diamonds will be March's RAK. Shh, no I have not finish finished February! It's in the drawer. I have a few more projects to get together before I pull out the sewing machine.

Well, it is officially the weekend! DS is spending the night away tomorrow night. And next weekend he leaves at 6:30 am Friday and will return Sunday afternoon. That is his RYLA weekend. I hope he has a great time.

And us... no ideas what we might do tomorrow and Sunday. Maybe I will have to think of something.

Talk soon - Denise

gee, let me guess what you two will do..... I agree with using even weaves and saving the Aida for solid stitching projects, like HAED's and Mystic's.
I hope you enjoy your weekend.
As always

Hearts and Diamonds . . . what an interesting take on blackwork . . I was thinking about it, and got side-tracked with another Christmas ornament.

So, shall live vicariously through you :0}
