Never would I have EVER thought it possible to reach 100 followers on my little blog. I'm almost there and it's sooo AMAXING :) It is an absolute joy blogging and sharing my experiences, but what I love most is reading all the other cross stitchy blogs out there. They are a constant source of inspiration and motivation for me, and perhaps they also feed my addiction just a little too ;)
This week it's back to the Friendship Sampler I've been working on. It took a back seat to the exchange piece I was working on over the past week or so... so I'm very happy to have it back onto the hoops.
Over all I'm loving this sampler, despite a few errors I've caught in the chart. Last night I was stitching happily away when I realized... UH OH... I'm off a stitch in the stem I was working on... being too lazy to frog it all I decided the best course of action was simply to add a stitch to the top and hope things didn't look too off. By rights the red petals on either side shouldn't be directly touching the green of the stem... SUPREME LAZINESS... me no wanna frog .... haha. Here's the problem area.
Now to some doggie entertainment. I bought some bubbles at the dollar store today and instantly my mind went to the dogs. Literally. They would LOVE chasing around the bubbles!!! Here they are in action :)

| OMGZ BUBBLESSS! Ready to pounce!!! |
Anyway I hope you all are enjoying the week so far. I'll be busy preparing for/recovering from my graduation party that's on Friday this week for the next couple of days. Lots of Italian themed games/drinks/food because that's where I did my Master's Degree :) Wish me luck!!!!
Happy Stitching
Melissa

No, no... You were enhancing the pattern~ :D. Loving the colors in the sampler; they feel so fresh and springish!
ReplyDeleteToo cute,your dogs! My kitties chase around foil balls and possibly parked threads. >.>;;; Low tech amusement FTW!

DeleteCan you give me the link to your blog? I can't seem to find it anymore :((((((
Cute stitches! I never would have known anything was off if you didn't point it out! I try to embrace things like that, if it can be worked into the piece, I leave it alone.....then the piece is more mine.
ReplyDeleteLove the pups with the bubbles!
I find errors just add character to a piece! And once it's finished I tend to forget about them anyway! Lol
ReplyDeleteMelissa: I hate that when it happens I find many patterns have mistakes, a very long time ago I found a mistake when I was almost done I just could not rip-it so I left it, it bothered me for sooooo long now I am o.k. with it, the project was a big pattern.
ReplyDeleteYour Friendship Sampler is looking good.
Beautiful colors.

I love your friendship sampler Melissa, can I ask who the designer is? I love posts with dogs in them, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! They are just a joy - unconditional love, and just so darn cute!
DeleteThe Friendship Sampler is designed by Nancy over at the Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe. She's a pleasure to do business with actually, very helpful! While it doesn't come as an option I asked her to provide her dyed floss that goes with the sampler when I purchased it. All in all, a fantastic experience.
