Look :
Well it's my birthday so I can do whatever I want, right? Actually, I haven't started it yet ... I am only in the process of starting it : I need to change the fabric as I don't like to stitch on linen so I counted the numbers of stitches, I dug in my fabric box to find a 32 count lugana alternative. The original fabric is antique white but on the picture, it appears to be stitched on a white fabric so that's what I chose: a somewhat white lugana. I still need to serge it by hand ... I can't wait to start it but I really need to finish the other one. I'm too reasonable, I know !!!
Talking about my birthday; no, I didn't do anything special and no I didn't get any gifts ... Chuy bought me some flowers and that's it ...
I still backstitches all day long ... I'm pretty sure I even backstitches in my dreams !!! Click to enlarge.
I added more little nuggets! Don't let him go ladies, his pockets are full of these little nuggets !!! Well, there are also the playing card ... I still stitch from top to bottom and right now, I arrived at the miner's feet. I didn't forget a lot of stitches but I did leave a lot of backstitches for later. And now, time has come but I don't mind that much because it also means I'm close to finish it.
Desi, this is what I call my metallic thread disaster (click to enlarge):
I made the (stupid) mistake to keep my metallic thread on the thread organiser ... Big mistake ... Well, I decided those scattered stitches with blended metallic thread were too hard to stitch so I cheated and stitched plain stitches instead ... I don't think anybody will notice and I'm not sure in 10 years from now, I will even remember I cheated ....
Yesterday was my 600 th message ! Can we say I'm talktative?
