Oh, what joy! What bliss!
Aunt Chrissy and Baby Bosco came over last night for a little New Year's Eve supper and stitching, and we watched all five episodes of "Parade's End" while I started this:
I'm stitching this on a lovely piece of 28ct. Fog Cashel, and I'm thinking about substituting out the called-for green thread with a few icy blues so that the end result will be more winter-ish.
Included with the chart are these lovely hand-made "blossoms". Aren't they swell? Now all I need to do is keep them safely away from You Know Who before he gets the bright idea to adorn his little silk smoking jacket with them.
Speaking of my little nine-pound bundle of joy, we both want to send our very best wishes for a spectacular 2015. May all of your hopes and dreams and wishes come true. May you know nothing but peace and health and happiness the whole year through, and may we all be exactly where we want to be, doing exactly what we want to be doing for the entire lot of it!
Love the blossoms and your idea to make the piece Moore winter-y.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of You Know Who, does he have an Instagram account? If so, he would enjoy looking at renecharlesnyc, a French bulldog who is truly Stewie's kindred spirit. No affiliation with the site, but I do enjoy a daily chuckle from it.
Stewie on Instagram? Would follow!
DeleteHappy New Year to you and yours, Coni! What a fabulous piece you started! I am not familiar with it, so I am going to go looking.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Coni! I thought Parade's End was exquisite viewing - what's not to like about the Divine Benedict? Lovely new piece you are working on. Looking forward to hearing about your exploits in 2015.
