OH and the biggest news of all-MY FIRST NICE FRENCH KNOT! yeah me!!!!!!!!
~~~Well just in time too! My first for the year! ha ha ha ha.
It isn't competely "done" yet- I need a little help from you all for that but, first thing is first... The pic of my "backside" (whoah Nellie!) and my Happy Dance are the same project so without further ado~~~~~
SBQ
The first request comes from Vash who is requesting pictures of
the back of your stitching… are you brave enough to give this one a
shot?
The second request comes from Singular Stitches, and she is asking for "a
pictorial tour of [the] special place that you go to create your
wonderful stitched creations."
Not much to see here, so it's a quick tour,- an oversized recliner with a lamp equipped with my Reveal 3-way lightbulb. How else can I decipher navy blue from black at 10pm? (My peaches mag source is still in the chair!)
Now to the rest of the story. I am making this for a baby (soon-to-be)by name of Abigail Olivia. I want to stitch her name (first and middle as stated) and her DOB once she has arrive. I have leftover floss and think I will do the letters in a sort of arch shape.... Any tips or ideas? The color I should use? I was thinking of her name under the butterfly and the rest to the right of the bear.....

How about purple? ;)
And, oh, so neat back! :) And Peaches is just about THIS adorable. ^^
Btw, your chair looks very comfortable. *is planning to sneak in some night and take it away, ha-ha* *giggles*
Way to go... Like the bear and the backing and your stitching area.
I would go with a color that pulles the butterfly out as it already has alot of peach... Good luck.
Well the chair only fits out of one doorway in the house, yes it is huge! I prop about 3 or 4 pillows (shown) behind and beside me for comfy stitching.
Awww..how CUTE is that bear??? Is that Peaches from the Popcorn series? Just curious..might have to find that pattern for myself..LOL
Hmm..I agree with Outi tho..go for purple..it'll make the name pop..and maybe in a neat swirl or something near the butterfly...?
Just a suggestion!
Have a good one!
The back of your work is very neat - well done, sadly can't see the picture of your chair!!! Want to see it...
So purple so far then???
~Stitch, Peaches is from the Quick and Easy February issue #136.
~I have emailed it to you Val-let me know what you think!
Wonder how I can get in there and take the chair before Outi does... hmmm.
BTW, it is microfiber-very soft and comfy (evil laugh). And ironically it is hubby's chair and he rarely uses it!
*Very* comfy looking chair!
Congrats on the French knot! :o)
