From this organized chaos of threads, beads, needles, books and even more threads, the  next one in the Fab Firs is finished and emerges from the pile!

I think that this one is my favorite so far! Featruring a selection of silks, beads and Swarovski crystals. This is called Norfolk Island Pine according to the Deeva. I was thrilled because the ideas and threads that were selected worked the first time! No reverse stitching, no going back to the drawing board, no four letter words spoken…just pure bliss in stitching this. I was lost into my stitching, that I took one background stitch a little too far out into the borders. By the time I realized it, I was too far along and I know that the finishing will cover it all up.

I hope that everybody had a great Easter or Passover weekend. All the kids, big or small found all of the eggs and candies left by the Easter Bunny, all of the baking was successful and the Passover celebrations were wonderful. I started out my day watering my plants and bringing all of the orchids into the kitchen where I could give each one a little extra TLC. For me the day just got better and better as I didn’t move very far from the stitching position on the couch while watching allot of great baseball. I even checked in on The Masters every so often. The cats would keep me company for a few hours and then disappear and then come back. AlleyCat would then take her position on my lap to get in the way of my flying needles.

Today is another work day in the house as I really need to bury myself into my work for the July/August issue of Needlepoint Now. I am sure that I will have some supervision as at some point in the day, you know who will be right in the middle of things. Command S or save is one of my best friends as AlleyCat has to walk over the keyboard. There is plenty of room to walk in front or walk behind, but No…she must walk across the keyboard!

She was a little bored with all my stitching yesterday. and until next time…keep on stitching
