Back in business!


My DH had to go out in all the snow on Monday, and on his way home called to see if I needed him to pick up anything. I'm sure he was thinking about a grocery store run but, no, I had another request: three skeins of DMC floss #712 from Barry at my LNS! And, sweetheart that he is, he got them!

I set to work finishing the wainscoting. My previous photo showed the shading I'd added in DMC floss #822, but now you can really see the difference outlining the molding made.

Then I returned to stitching wallpaper, and am happy to report that so far, I haven't had a nasty run-in with any dark threads from the clock case! When I finish the wallpaper, I can complete the top of the clock and call this project a wrap.

Amazing, as always. I can't believe the bas-relief effect you've made on the wainscoting on that very small space!! This piece has dimension and interest without being cluttered.

Even being snowed in, you stitch so quickly. "Grandpa" is looking terrific!
