Four to go

I did another one, and the backstitching on this really went by fast!
And I might, if I don't jinx it, have a tiny bit more of a handle on those pesky French knots, because somehow, he seems to have proper eyes. (Even if I do have to secure them).

Other than that. There are no news.

Five to go!

Yes, yes, I caved in and only worked on the Not-so-secret project number 3 today and finished another set....

But, we did have visitors most of the day, so stitching was rather limited as I really wanted to follow the conversation with my cousin. <3

And No WiSPing occured this day either.

But best laid plans of mice and men or whatever.

I will do better next time.

Six to Go

I finished another bit of this not-so-secret Project number 3 on Friday, but as we were at a gathering (yes, I do stitch everywhere) and came home late I did not put up this post until today.

I almost forgot half the background too, but I worked around it;) And it looks fine now.

It is really hot in these parts of the woods so boyfriend and I (who just started my vacation) have not been much up and about lately, mainly just sitting on the sofa watching "Fringe" (may be the reason why we plowed through season 1 in one week) and sewing (me). Mimle is a couch potato too, but under and not on the sofa, just dozing off in the heat and not becoming active until sundown. When she     

insists on fun activities... 

Anyway, tomorrow I am hoping to do some WisPing and maybe a little work on my boys too.

Even if I am really in love with the not-so-secret project number 3 and want to do that constantly.

I will stick to my plan!

(If I don't revise it)

Seven to go

Another segment from the "not so secret Secret Project number 3".

Seven left.

I finished this little guy in three evenings. Boyfriend and I have been watching season 1 of "Fringe" and it is really exiting. I have to do something simple while I watch that show because there is a lot going on that I don't want to miss, so the other men are staying behind.

While I am on the subject of my other men, I found out that the event I am doing Fred for is going to get another present, which means I can do him just for fun and gift him when finished and not at a specific event. Very good too, since I am still not halfway through.

And Henry is having a rest.

Mimle has gotten a new box because in the other box she had been naughty and peed in it:P I will try and take a picture of her new home. Bunny says it is a lot more like a home now that she has wrecked the place up a bit as I say, and home-decorating as she would have said.

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.

Snailing by Friday

I didn't really do any more on Henry this past week. I just finished my page and then had a bit of indecisiveness on exactly where to continue. Should I redo the Tudor-rose that had a small mistake, should I finish Henry, should I continue down the lady's dress or to the left? Too many choices, so my mind refused to think about it any more and so I picked up "Fred" and we had a lot of fun until it was dark and I took out "Almost Perfect". As you can probably see, they have been on a rotation, those two. Steadily working on Fred while it being light and bright and taking out the angel when it was raining or nearing bedtime. (and sometimes even going to bed while it was still dark!). 

Another book is almost done. Think I will finish in another week, if you can see the horizontal line then you can see how much further I have to do in that direction. When that portion is finished I am 1/4 parts through. Still not looking forward to the backstitching on this one:P

I have started on the dreaded backstitching on this. Just because. Look, the naughty one is peaking! I love his innocent look.

Today boyfriend and I bought a used little table for my Wip's. So they don't clutter up the table when I decide to switch to another stitch in the middle of another movie. I like the old look, and it's ricketiness. Boyfriend is hoping my things will stay in this table and not slowly expanding onto the other table. I think it is futile as everybody knows stash expands rapidly.

We saw another little guy. With Zebra stripes, but he was not using the zebra-crossing so I hope he arrived safely where ever he was going and avoided the cars:P

Another Song

So, it is again time for the song of the week. Tomorrow I am off to work and I really should be getting to bed. So without further ado, here is the song stuck in my head at the moment. ^^

Song sung by: Momoiro Clover Z called Saraba, Itoshiki kanashimitachi yo.

From the japaneste drama "Akumu-chan", meaning little nightmare. Gackt is even in it!

From the drama, which incidentally I loved and highly recommend. Akumu-chan is the one singing in the end, she sounds just like me too, no wonder I like her.
