Quick TUSAL Post Today!



I can't beleive it's already TUSAL time again! Where do the days go?  I'm having to work a lot of extra time right now*, so I've only got the photo of my Oorts today.  When things calm down later next week I'll post the projects that contributed to the jar.

I am so over DMC 604.  Seriously.  Our time together was special, but now we must both accept that it is time to move on. 

Well, hello there, Kreinik #4 Braid.  Come here often?

C'est fini!

Just in time to bring up to work for March, I have finished Lizzie*Kate's Spring Alphabet.  Yay!

That's a standard 8x10 frame to give you an idea of size.

I made a few tweaks here and there per my own personal preference--but nothing radical.  It's stitched using the DMC colors called for except for a different light green.  I thought the one on the list was too close to the dark green and didn't look enough like the overdyed used in the model.

I really like this series.  They are easy to stitch (no fractionals, specials, or back stitching) and you don't have to invest in a bunch of specialty threads to get almost the same look as the model.  Although it does help to not start too far down on your fabric.  *eyeroll*  I think I will be diving right in to the next one (Summer) and keep these as my Friday night Ghost Adventures stitch.

ETA:  Oopsie!  That's 18 ct Oatmeal Aida.  Sorry about that!
