Yes, I'm finally coming out of the closet to let you all know I have this serious problem. I can't seem to sit anywhere for any period of time without something in my hands that involves a needle and thread. Whether I'm in the airport, at a ballgame, watching TV, sitting in a doctor's office, I have to have a project in my hands at all times.
Maybe it has something to do with this longing to create.
I've been like this since I was a small girl whether it was designing Barbie clothes or teaching myself how to knit. I just loved always having a project in my lap.
Two flowers done, four more to go, plus the dragon fly.
This year in Houston I bought a very nice wooden scroll frame that you can sit in your lap or you can sit on the table. I like using the table method with my work light over my canvas.
Which makes the sitching go really fast.
I have about seven needles threaded with different color ready to go. I then put something really delicious like Downton Abby on the TV and start stitching like a mad woman.Once I work out all the bugs in the design. And there are a few. I will put this up on my website. I know there's other mad stitchers out there following my blog. So stay tuned.
I'm also working on turning my Three Zinnia quilt into a cross-stitch design also.
This is so much fun.
Awesome - such beautiful colors - I am a stitcher too and look forward to when it's on your website!
ReplyDeleteI am jealous. I love to have some hand stitching too but somehow I got addicted to machine stitching-still an addiction! Those bluebonnets are going to be fabulous in cross stitch.
