Yay! I've picked up another SAL piece I had abandoned! I managed a few hours on Tour tonight, with over one there's only so much a girl's eyes can handle. I'm stitching this over one on 28ct.
Tonight I've started going through my charts and magazines for Vonna's Neighborhood RR. She'd like English style cottages and buildings. As you all know I'm a fantasy girl... so I've got to dig to find just the right thing!
I survived my first day back at work. I came back to find my palm scanner isn't loading the drivers for the socket scanner so I lost a day of inventory taking... but I certainly had more work to keep me busy. I did need a bit of a nap when I got home tonight!
I'm looking forward to the approaching weekend, its Ann's annual retreat where we oooh, ahhh, stitch, eat, and a few of us find spaces to sleep be it on the floor, in the shop or in the RV. I can't wait!
Congratulations on your progress. Haven't you stitched this piece already once? Ann.
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I love how over 1 looks but agree that it is hard going on the eyes!
ReplyDeleteUhhh...I think you mean Von's RR...because in mine, I don't care, anything small townish :) I think Von was the cottage's girl :) But it's easy to get us mixed up because all you're dealing with to change identities is a "NA" ! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour WIP is really looking smashing :)
That looks great Dani.
ReplyDeleteHave a blast this weekend.
I have this one in my stash, but haven't started it yet, but I hope to start it soon.
ReplyDeleteBoth this and the castle WIP's look great. Have lotz of fun this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI just love this one! I have this one in my stash. Are you using both DMC and Anchor floss?
ReplyDeleteHey Dani,
ReplyDeleteI think we'll have some fun this weekend. I am anxious to see your completed Noah's Sub!
Did my niece ever get hold of you?
Over one can be tedious but oooh the results are fantastic!
Nice to see you working on this one again. I really love this design!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat design, but the over 1 would be tiring on the eyes. It will be fantastic when finished though.

Welcome back to the Tour Des Marques.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you made some progress I didn't stitch on mine yet this week because I just had to finish my Witch.
And I did. Yippee!!!
I just can't imagine doing over 1. I don't think my eyes could take it! I'm sure it will be worth it though. Have a good time this weekend. I'll be thinking of you while I'm working. Is Rebecca still going?
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back working at The Castle and Tour des Marques. Looking good
ReplyDeleteIs it Saturday yet?
One over one! This will be a beautiful piece with all the color changes. I can't imagine all those changes and doing it one over one.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds great. I wish I had one of those planned. Enjoy the time with your friends.
This looks great! Ack I have such issues with over one stitching. Have fun at your retreat!!
ReplyDeleteYup 91 is right!
ReplyDeleteSee you on the weekend.
That is looking great, will it have a regular slot in your rotation now that the sub is finished?
ReplyDeleteJoanne
Beautiful progress! Sounds like you have a fabulous weekend planned!
ReplyDeleteIt is so easy to get me and Vonna mixed up, lol!
ReplyDeleteYou're the fantasy girl and finding the right design for your RR will be a challenge for me! :D I think I've found a few things in some of my magazines that might just work. Can't wait to get my hands on your rr!
Looks good! I love over one on 28 ct as long as I've got good light.
ReplyDeleteYour progress is looking great Dani. Congrats by the way on finishing Noah's Sub (I didn't get a chance to send a message sooner). It looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteTdM is looking great. I can't wait to see what it looks like as you stitch more!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your SALs. You don't choose the easiest patterns do you?(LOL)Congratulations on the wonderful finish on Noah's Sub - what a feeling of accomplishment that must have given.
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece! I don't think I have seen it before. I love the fabbie.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw some pics of the retreat on Wendys blog and it looked like fun. Hope you had a fab time. Your wip looks great. xx
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty! I hope you have (err, had) a wonderful weekend!
