Hoity Toity arrived yesterday and it is prettier in real life than I could have imagined! As you know, I was conflicted about the linen, but Miss Linda hit it out of the park for me with a gorgeous cut of 28ct Picture Thus Plus in the color Sand. Perfection!
I would have liked to start this today, but I need to take some time to assemble my kit...project bag, Bitsy Bob, scissors, etc. and I need to zig zag the edges of the linen with my sewing machine. That's going to take a fair bit of time, and I was just too pooped to do all of that last night, and I think we're going to a basketball game tonight.
But this makes for a good plan for tomorrow: damn good and the paper abed, scrub the house like an Amish woman, put something lovely in the crockpot, and then settle in with Notre Dame on the TeeVee and have some fun playing with my new toy as a reward!
Who could possibly be happier than I am with that on the agenda?!
Happy Friday! Hopefully the next time I see you will be to report a good start and lots of progress!
Great project! What a lovely way to spend a Saturday.

Cannot wait to follow your Hoity-Toity saga.... it looks challenging, but a semi-cinch in Coni's capable care.
The perfect piece for autumn. Love the colors.

Ohhhh you prance on. I am resisting the pull of this one (so far) but oh how I love it! Looking forward to your updates to make that pull tug just a little harder on my stitching needle.
ReplyDeleteExciting!!! It is going to be stunning!
