Ahhh, rainy days & Mondays.....

are my favorite. The kids are back in school, the Scholar has returned to campus after a whirlwind weekend, and my husband is away for the week (which means simple early suppers leaving a nice long evening for stitching). A rainy day in March is just about perfect, because, IT'S NOT SNOW. Oh, and I don't work on Mondays. What more could anyone ask for?

Here is a picture of Prairie Schooler's Daffodils that I finished last night. Can't say I'm happy with the Crescent Colors conversion. There wasn't enough contrast in the letters so I used all different thread for that. Also, the trumpets on the daffodils didn't always have enough contrast from the rest of the flower. Lucky for me, I'm not a perfectionist or I'd be picking those stitches out today. The overall pattern is quite pleasing, so I'm done complaining.

On Mondays I work on LHN's The Library along with my stitching pal Rebecca. I plan to take a picture after today's progress so you can see how that's coming along.

I'm off to see which project I'll spend a little time with next.

  1. Daffodils looks great to me! I love the sheep! But I know what you mean about color conversions - they can be tricky!
