I believe it was on Friday night that I just couldn't sleep, so I was up until around 3am stitching to avoid just staring at the ceiling. It's amazing how much you can get done when the house is silent and there aren't any kids running around to distract you!
Sorry for the low light. We're in NE Florida and the fires nearby make everyday dim and smoky. There is still a lot more of that dark green color to come and most of it will be covered up by french knots anyway. I'm also very conscious of the bottom of this page of the design. I want to avoid the "paged" look where you can see the line where each page ended, so I'm going to try and work down a few stitches into the next page. I'm hopeful that doing that will help blend that line a little bit.
Also this week, I got started on the Wild Thing baby sampler (pic on left of blog) for a friend of mine. She's due in a little over 3 months and I wanted to make sure I gave myself enough time to get it done. I've stitched this design previously for my son and really enjoyed it. The colors are so bright and fun that it really is a joy to stitch.
It's not much to look at so far, but here's progress after getting it started:
I'll be alternating these projects, with my focus being mainly on Wild Thing so that I don't run out of time.
Happy stitching everyone!
