Done and Done

My "not so secret project number 3" is finished. It did take a while I'll admit, and since I have had two finishes without another start, even if I cave in and start something new tomorrow I will still eventually finish more than I start and those pesky WiSPs will vanish.

Look how much thread is left? Thank you Bothy Threads.  Seriously, I think there is almost enough floss to make this one more time, not that I am going to, because even if I enjoyed the design I am SO happy it is done!


Would you like to see a small and blurry photo? I know I would. And the person receiving this never comes on, and the date is soo far away I guess it is safe. I don't want to wait forever to show it, I'll risk you guys forgetting. So. Hereitis: 


I can recommend doing what I did and finishing these off one panel at a time. Although the header was a bit boring as it was mostly one colour I think this is one of those designs that would soon turn into WiSPs in the back of the box, had I not done the backstitching as I went. 

I have my eyes on the tea one and the love one in this series, I think they are great pun.

Yes, yes, it is a new beginnig




Look at these lush colours. I must say that Bothy threads have really wonderful colour-combinations. Not that Henry lacks in that department either, his colours are wonderful too.



Yes, yes, it is a new start. But I did tell you guys that since Gorjuss was done I needed something small, and folks, this is it. This took me about two evenings, so I think it might be a quick stitch, just like I hoped.  And yes, it is "Secret Project Number 3", the not so secret one. That backstitching was a breeze too, took me no time at all. Now only eight more to go. 




Bunny contemplating hopping onto the sofa, but saw me and instantly ran off. Now that I am sitting in front of the computer I can hear someone suspiciously digging from over there. About time to give her some expensive hay with extra flavours, so she'll leave me and the sofa alone while I finish off here. 

I think I will take out Henry now and see if there is a certain part of him that screams loader than another for me to start on.
