I decided to be bad yesterday and start a new piece. I kitted up Just Nan’s Peter Cottontail and worked on it for a good chunk of the day. I even skipped working on the laundry – bad me! I am at 75% or more on the piece, so I didn’t bother scanning a WIP photo, since it will be done and framed hopefully by the end of the week.
I still can’t seem to accomplish much stitching during the week because I am still tired when I get home from work and having to take naps half of the time. I wonder if I am setting a bad trend here and letting my body get used to all of that sleep? I am going to have to work on staying awake and hopefully my stitching will entice me, particularly this close to a finish.
Otherwise, on the stitching front, I love the Butterfly Heart design so much and am finding it such a quick stitch that I am considering doing it in a rainbow of colors – orange, yellow, green and blue – to add to the pink and purple ones that I have now. I’m just nervous that I will burn out partway through and be sick of the design before I actually manage to finish all of them. We’ll see, but I think I’m going to do it in a set of dusty blues next. First, I have to get some more fabric. Believe it or not, I don’t seem to have much in the way of white or antique white. I’m not sure how that happened. Shopping, here I come!
Butterfly heart would look incredible done in a range of colors.
Naps … ahhhh. 😉
With all the studies coming out recently about how we Americans do not get enough sleep, I say sleep if you feel the need! It helps the brain restore itself.
I’ve been tempted to stitch that little Workbasket hedgehog a couple more times in different variegated flosses – quick and fun. So continue on with Butterfly Heart in a myriad of colors!
Well, congratulations to you! Starting something new isn’t “bad,” it’s “necessary.” 🙂
Ooh, can’t wait to see Peter. I’m so totally wanting to get that one. Btw – I’ve instituted Just Nan Sundays over at my blog, and I’m working on Barnabee! Miracles never cease!! LOL!
