Not much blah-blah-blah to this post, just pics. It’s about time for bed and I’m feeling quiet, so don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, okay? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

These are the two gifts that I am currently still working on for Christmas.
\nThe first is Just Nan’s Sparkling Iris. I am stitching it using the recommended threads (DMC) on the recommended overdyed fabric (and I even have the fancy frame for it):
\n
\nI had made a mistake in the color of one of the greens in the center area a couple of months ago when I was working on it at the stitching group and I was intending to leave it in since it wasn’t a glaring mistake, but once I saw the outer sections stitched in the proper colors (it was supposed to be a blend and I managed to stitch it with 2 strands of the same color the first time), I decided to take the dreaded frog head-on and restitch it correctly.<\/p>\n

The second is the second bookmark for Nan, also from Leisure Arts’ Bookmarks Galore:
\n
\nI’m stitching the March bookmark for her. If you look to the left of the actual bookmark (on which I have made stunningly little progress), you will see the published photograph of what Once Upon a Time was supposed to look like. Feel free to compare it with the one I stitched. Go ahead, I’ll wait. It looks a bit different with my color changes, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

So, there you have it. Drive-by blogging. I pick up my stitched piece from Michaels tomorrow, so wish me luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
