Autumn Moon is a fun stitch! I have a hard time putting it down but, the very dark, almost black roof . . I struggled a bit with it. I kept wanting to jump around and stitch something more fun but I suck with it.
So far, I've been able to keep up with getting in at least 400 stitches each day. That was a goal I started at the beginning of 2025 and probably only met my goal about half the time. I'm hoping to do better in 2026.
After five days of stitching, the app shows that I'm 24.43% done but I'm not quite sure that's going to be accurate.
There are large are several large areas that do not have symbols assigned and I'm pretty sure those are not included in the stitch count.
The chart says "fill in the house around all the bricks and stones . . " It says the same thing for the front lawn, the side lawn, the moon, and the windows. That's probably almost a week's worth of stitching for me. It's fine . . it's really easier because once the areas are outlined, it's mindless stitching but I'm guessing this chart will say I'm 100% done when I'm not really done.
One more thing - I'm stitching this with NPI silks. Sheri from Colorado Cross Stitcher did a conversion for me. NPI has LOTS of colors but there weren't enough of the peachy colors so I changed up the colors in the basket a bit. Just mentioning that in case any of you may be stitching it and yours looks different from mine.
I haven't seen this on the blog yet, it's very pretty. The peachy tones and the autumn theme really make it interesting color-wise. I have always liked the rabbit in the moon concept, much more than "made of cheese", or "man in the moon".
ReplyDeletei believe the 'rabbit in the moon' is the japanese version of our man in the moon after hearing it from the interpreter... the speaker asked if someone had seen the man in the moon, but the translation was "did you see the rabbit and babies?" it was a very good translator who knew the culture and idiosyncrasies to use. i loved that story which probably i heard in the 60s while astronauts were making moon trips! and iirc it's a mamma rabbit and 3 babies. once you know the story, you'll be able to see it too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that info. I've never heard that but tonight (before it gets cold here again), I will go out and see what I can see. Maybe I can blame the moon for the rabbits that are multiplying like rabbits ALL year in my back yard!
