 Once again today I'd like to thank eveyone so much for all their kind words. I was trying to reply to some individually today but I found I couldn't just reply to the emails as there were no actaul email addresses to reply to. Does that make sense? So my question for today is: Do I go into each person's Blog and respond in their comments section? Sorry to ask but I still have a lot to learn.
Today I spent the day stitching. I got some more done on Stargazer. She is really starting to look pretty. I am so glad I chose Sugar Maple's Snickerdoodles to stitch her on. I did also attempt to start my Houses Of Hawk Run Hollow which is the SAL I have joined but I had chosen 34ct Cafe Au Lait linen and found I couldn't decide whether to use 1 strand or 2. I tend to stitch 32ct and bigger with 2 strands and 36 and 40 with 1 strand but neither 1 or 2 looked quite right on the 34ct. 2 strands looked too think and the 1 strand didn't seem to have enough coverage. In the end, and with some much appreciated advice from Carol S, I have decided to use my other option which is an Ivory 40ct linen. I have also decided to stitch it in Needlepoint Silks rather than DMC that I was orginally going to use. I feel much better about my choices now so I will make a fresh start on HOHRH tomorrow. Hopefully tommorrow will be a little cooler here and not the scorching hot day it was today. Well, it's past midnight so I am off to bed now. |
Awesome Karen! I can't wait to see your first HOHRH pic! Stargazer is looking lovely!
