Losing things is nothing new for me. I know that pretty much everything I lose gets found sooner or later. A good percentage of the time, I don't get real worked up about something that's lost because it either turns up or it doesn't. That would be a different story if it was Oscar or Cooper so I'm just talking about "stuff", not loved ones.
I don't remember when I started The Lord's Prayer by Lila's Studio. This is how much I had gotten stitched.
I can't remember where or how I knew but somewhere in that inner border, there was a mistake. When I realized there was a mistake, I just stitched a few letters down the left side to make sure it was all going to fit and I'm pretty sure that it will.
I'm using Vikki Clayton silks and when I use those (they used to be on bobbins), I would keep them in a little rectangular plastic container and it made the project bags bulky so I pulled out all the plastic containers and put them on a shelf in the craft room. Then when I got ready to work on this project months and months ago, the little plastic container of floss wasn't there. I searched for it for a while and gave up. Then a couple of months later, I found it and thought "Great! I can get back on this project" but . . no, I had no idea where I had put that container down.
Yesterday when I was moving quilts from around the gas fireplace, and there was that little pink box. I held my breath for a moment, almost afraid to look at the floss key because I knew I would be disappointed if it wasn't The Lord's Prayer. Yay! It was! Now this one is added as #18 to the WIP bin.
I will work on Winter Rose Manor the rest of today and tomorrow and then on Saturday I will start a five day stretch of working on The Lord's Prayer!
Yea
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see someone else working on this. I kitted up Winter Rose Manor in 2020 (I think it was) as if my life depended on it. And then never started it until 12/31/21 as part of #nye12x12. I didn't touch it again for 2 years and stitched on it for a week or two as part of WIPGO. I FINALLY brought it back out in early March and have worked only on it this entire month. I will have everything finished by 3/31 except the fill-in stitching of the house, roof, and urn on the roof. I am saving the fill-in to do at retreats and stitching days with friends and/or my Guild. Good luck with yours! I look forward to seeing more of your progress!
