Did you think that I had stopped after my first project? NOT...... I really, really wanted to make that vintage cross stitch Christmas Stocking and I will. I have everything for it, execpt of course the courage to actually start. I thought I'd try this one called "Kimiono Row". Like everything else in my life, why can't I be working on more that one project at the same time? I'll stitch on this a bit and when I get tired, I'll switch to the other. This way I'll get a bit more practice. This is one of those kits, comes with everything, so I won't need to be out there trying to find floss at $.35 a skein. Bought it at Joanns in the clearence bin for under $12.00.
I thought I had a major problem this morning when I brought it outside to take a good look at it. It seemed as though my pink floss had faded. My heart just sank. My first thought was...no wonder it was so darn cheap. I went to take a look at all the pink floss and noticed that the pink floss itself had a hint of light lavendar in it. Gives the Kimono a whole different look. I was happy to find out this was all part of the plan and not my floss being defective.
Well this morning, I have to the homemaker thing and clean my living room and dining room before I can play.
