Well, as part of my New Year's resolution, I've decided to keep a blog and try to update my stitching information and pictures more often! This is my first entry and I'm new to this blogging thing. I think this is a great place for me to keep a record of my stitching happenings and I can keep track of how long it takes me to get projects completed.
Stitching News..... I just started working on (December 29) Stoney Creek's Winter Wildlife Stocking for myself and I have about 7 hours into it so far - I would love to see this hung up near the Christmas Tree next year! I am about 1/2 way done with the black bear and almost finished with the moose on the right side of the stocking. I bought this pattern from patternsonline.com, and what really ticked me off about this pattern is that there are really similar symbols set all right next to each other, so here I am stitching away on the moose thinking that the 1/2 square symbols are all the same, NOPE, there is a dark brown color that the 1/2 square goes to the right on the symbol, and then a 1/2 square in 898, even darker brown, that goes to the left. Sheesh! I'm glad I caught it when I did because I would never think a company would use such similar symbols right next to each other. So go the trials and tribulations of stitching.........
