Well, the intents were good, but very little was accomplished in my February sew-in. Heidi and Bobbie host a monthly sew-in. I tried and did get some sewing in but just not what was planned. Best laid plans went hay-wire to say the least. First off, I lost my sewing partner. My dd was called in to work so she wasn't able to sew. So I set down and started to sew on my cross-stitch project around 4 pm...
I got out all the supplies....
and started getting things ready to dig in... cutting my material, finding the center and finding the center of pattern....
cool. How hard can it be. really. I hadn't done a counted cross-stitch in awhile I was really clipping along...
but as I was stitching I'm picturing this little project that my mom has given to me in my head. Yep, it is kind of a made up thing. I found a patter to go with the saying she wanted. Previously, I laid out the saying on graph paper and got it all counted out. Bingo ready to go.....um, excuse me.... Now, I'm getting a funny filling.... Yep, you guessed it. I cut the material the wrong size. So guess what. I had to cut a new piece of material and start again.... ARGH! By this time I'd spent 2 hours on the project. And daughters call and say, "Mom we're off work bring a movie and pizza do you have chips? So much for sewing....
I did do some stitching while watching the movie after getting the material situation all figured out. Well, I hope I figured it out. So here is what I got accomplished....
Here is the pattern ...
