I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and I just had to go for it. This is where I was the last time that I showed a Three Boats update.
Well, I just couldn't leave that little bit of white around the edges of that page. Mind you, those few stitches involved over 10 different floss colors. I finished them on Tuesday to get to here:
I have since added several more stitches. I am on a roll.
Hubby and I enjoyed a short visit from our son.
I have picked up my Breezy Infinity Scarf again. I've been adding a couple of rows each day.
I have added a few light green grass stitches to October Morning.
I made a mistake with the light green just below the church and used two different colors on some of the stitches. I was going to frog it, but it would require much more effort than I was willing to put in. I made a design decision and decided it really didn't bother me and I would rather just move forward. This has been such a long term WIP, I just didn't want to go backwards. I don't think anyone but me would notice it.
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. I will probably be adding more stitches to Three Boats. I'm on a roll with it now.
Thanks for stopping by!
A few stitches with 10 different floss colours...wow, that is a lot. You have the patience of a saint! Lovely scarf; you might be needing that soon. =) Sometimes the mistakes we make with our stitching is as if it was always meant to be. Just like your Three Boats, your October Morning is looking wonderful. How lovely you were able to enjoy a visit from your son. Nice too, there was swimming to cool down on those hot summer days of yours.
ReplyDeleteHey Cathie, I am so glad your son got to come for a visit :) I love all the cross stitching and crochet you are sharing today... congrats on page 1 done and on the design decision on the other project... Do you like the printed cross stitch as much as counted designs? Kathi
ReplyDeleteIt is good to get on a roll. Such tiny and close together cross stitches on both projects. Wise choice to continue on with Oct morn. In real life grass is different shades anyway. Nice you had quality family time.
ReplyDeleteFun to see your progress on Three Boats! The detail on that one is so amazing! Your scarf is so pretty - love the color.
ReplyDeleteGreat project. I enjoy seeing your progress on the boats, and lovely color for your infinity scarf!
ReplyDeleteIt seems ages since I saw your three boats, what a lot of progress you've made. Great to finish page 1 (how many pages are there?) I agree with you if you can live with your colour choices why rip it out. Your crochet scarf is lovely.
ReplyDeleteCathie: Three Boats is really coming along, you are on a roll.
ReplyDeleteYour scarf is beautiful.
October Morning is showing great progress.
How wonderful you were able to spend time with your son.
Both your guys are so handsome.
Catherine
