Did you ever think it wouldn't get here? I know I did. Yet today hasn't been too bad. I know what I will be working on this weekend which always helps to keep me on track and I got paid so while I don't have a lot of extra money I have enough to go to JoAnne's or some place for therapy.
I fused the Ravens and heart to the white background last night and started to stitch them down. What was I thinking? Stitching at night black embroidery floss on black ravens? Whew! I didn't finish even one but I started to mess it up a bit and knew it was time to stop.
As you can see, I had to dig out my clip on magnifiers to put OVER my regular glasses (cheaters) that I wear. It always makes me feel old. LOL. At least I didn't bring out the over the neck magnifier. I've had to pull that out before. Talk about looking weird when I have to use all three! See that cork stopped vial? That's my needle case that I got from It Is What It Is. It's made out of a horn. I have my three needles in it that I'm using for this so when I cut my embroidery floss I can separate the floss and thread three needles at a time. It goes a little faster that way.
I'm having trouble matching up that Kona red though. Tonight after work I'm taking a swatch with me and see if I can get a better match than the one I already have. Wish me luck.
Everybody have a great weekend!
