Wow, reality must
have been off watching football or something because I actually made some
progress! No before shots, but the fact
that it looks like this now
is impressive. I started the weekend with the top five rows
and the sky in front of the boat complete. (to the dark blue line) Now you can
tell there’s a boat! The bottom is
basically one color, except for the white caps and other random shades of blue.
I thought I’d
include a couple of late pictures of things I had finished. First is the piece I sent to Momuboocrea
Island for our Santa/Christmas exchange.
There was a hanger
on it when it left. I just took this
picture before I figured out what it would be.
Then there’s
Reindeer Yoshi.
He’s a scamp. I stitched it, I washed it – it bled. Which basically left me with only one thing
to do. Pre rinse the thread and stitch
it again. Version two actually got sewn
together and hung on the tree. After
Christmas, some clever soul (who shall remain nameless) decided to iron out the
wrinkles before finally stuffing and sewing it closed. Guess what happened? Spots!
Sigh. I still have to sew it
closed but I’m beginning to think it looks good flat.

out Random Ramblings for all the other IHSW participants.
Happy stitching
World.
