If all bits and bobs arrived in time I planned on starting Vienna Ball on New Years Day.I collected most of the DMC.
The specialty kit arrived from Debbie.
On New Years Eve the fabric arrived.
It was hideous. OK not hideous - it was in fact quite a pretty pastel sky blue. For something that called "Evening Shadows" and supposed to be dark purples and greys ????
Pictures for comparison here.
I was quite depressed about the whole thing. I have emailed Catherine at Country Stitch and sending the fabric back. She is dyeing a different colour for me once I decide between Twilight and Thundercloud.
So instead on New Years Day I continued stitching on Moscow.
I was sitting it down late last night (ahem early hours of the morning) and viewing the work from a distance - as you do. I admit I was still a bit rankled that I was working on it instead of Vienna Ball.
Mr S was just finishing up his stuff when I made the comment "I always seem to be working on boring pieces when you are around"/
I received a distracted "I don't think any of your stitching projects look boring".
Its the little things .....
Happy 2009 to all!
