My Bargello Challenge is still coming along. I managed to almost fininsh another section yesterday while watching a little marathon of "The Newsroom". I have to say....I never would have imagined that I would like these colors together as much as I do. Makes me think of a big bowl of sherbert!
With the Olympics just around the corner, I decided to start gathering projects that might be suitable. I had originally thought these might work:
Or I might just break with tradition completely and stitch Poppers as is, since the colors kinda scream Rio in August to me for some reason. Three weeks to decide...
Stewey and Bosco and I overdid it a bit yesterday. It seemed like every time I turned around we were chasing pumpkins or eating cookies or running outside to look at the clouds. I am so desperate not to miss one single minute with him that I think I'm driving us both 'round the bend a bit. I need to calm the heck down and just...be.
Well, that calming down thing is more easily said than done! Soon you all will find a new normal...then things will change again!! Just enjoy the days as you can.

Poppers in it's original colors do scream RIO!!!! How about the outside row all the way around in red, white, and blue and the rest in Rio colors? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the colours scream Rio!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy every moment with your fur-baby!
ReplyDeleteAs to the stitchy projects, I say do the Poppers in original colors with the exception of some strategically placed red white and blue changes.
I agree with everyone. I cannot make up my mind. It is natural to want to spend every moment with Mr. Stewey. Your heart will guide you.
ReplyDeleteHi Coni! So happy you were able to get "out and about" on Saturday. A new view always inspires a new outlook on things.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the Bargello colors...so chic, yet sassy! And your idea of doing 'Poppers' in the original colorway seems more Rio to me, but whatever you decide will be gorgeous, per your usual conversions. Big, BIG hugs to your sweet little 4-legged critters from my BIG 4-legged critter (Greyhound).
I think I'd feel the same way about wanting to spend and enjoy every moment. But you will relax, and you will do what ultimately feels right to do. He is lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's hard to just 'be', especially when you know what the future holds. I guess that's why I'm glad I don't know too much. Still thinking a bunch of you and Stewey and sending love and prayers. -Cathryn
ReplyDeleteOh I do think of sherbet with that lovely piece. Poppers is interesting and love the colors.
ReplyDeleteSweet Coni, I'd vote for poppers, it has such cheerful colors. Trusting in our Lord gives me peace. Hugs and kisses for Stewey
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying the progress on your Bargello Challenge piece. I vote for Poppers in its original colorway.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all the others that Poppers screams Rio, but I do hope that someday the project that must not be mentioned will reappear during the Olympics. With all you have stitched since that project was first attempted, it would surely be a breeze for you to stitch now.
ReplyDeleteYour Bargello looks nice. Poppers would be great in a patriotic colors.
ReplyDeletePoppers is a riot of colour,an all out Carnival,I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love the oranges of Hallowe'en stitching,orange isn't used enough,your Bargello stitching is perfect :)
That Bargello challenge looks great and like something I would enjoy stitching. Go with Poppers - you like to stitch all those small different shapes, regardless of the colors! As for Stewey, just enjoy your time with him.
ReplyDeletePoppers, in the original colors, reminds me of the Tahiti piece you did a couple of years ago. I think they would look great together.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in your bargello challenge! And can't wait to see what you decide to stitch for the olympics.
ReplyDeleteAnd as tuckered out as Stewey is I am sure he loved all the pumpkin chasing, cookie eating and cloud watching. He is lucky to have you for a mum!
I bet, Coni, that Stewey's favorite part of life with you IS the just "being!" Enjoy just being with your little man. Prayers of comfort for you both!
ReplyDeleteLove the bargello piece and those colors, also the original colorway of Poppers screams Rio. I am pretty sure Stewey is happy with "normal" - and a few extra treats here and there are sure to make you feel better. You and the furbabies remain in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI love your new project and am amazed at how fast you complete them!
