STUDIO SERENDIPITOUSNESS

I decided I wanted to do a counted canvas piece next in the ole rotation of stitchy fun, so up to the studio I went.  I didn't have anything in mind really, but I'm just tickled pink with what I put together after only a few minutes.

The design is from Needlepoint Now Sept/Oct 2015.  It's by the same designer as the piece we did last Fall in guild...Stickideen Von Der Wienenburg.

I thought about the fun that I had with the other piece, and just as I was turning to the thread drawers to start fishing around, a skein of Caron Watercolours caught my eye.  When I was at House of Stitches last time I picked it up because I thought the colors were so pretty, and it just hollered Easter to me.  Perfect!

(The name of the color is Painted Desert, by the way.)

So I grabbed a few flosses and hit the Happy Chair and here's where things ended up before bed last night:
So far, this has been a lot of fun to play with...stay tuned for further developments!  Today is laundry day, so there's bound to be some stitching in between loads!
