Houses of Hawk Run Hollow - Block 4

Saturday night I worked on Ellen Birdseye a little bit. I think we've come to some sort of truce. :)

Sunday I didn't stitch at all because I woke up with a major case of vertigo. I'm still a little dizzy and spacey, but nothing like I was on Sunday. Yesterday I worked on HoHRH. I don't think I'm going to make my goal of finishing the fourth house by the end of the month. Oh well, I'm not going to worry about it. I'll finish it when I can.

HoHRH as of 4/27/09

Close up of House #4

I made a few changes to this block. I used black and green on the steps instead of lt. green and green and I filled in the windows with black instead of the green. I just wanted to give it a little more contrast. I got the idea for the windows from Tanya. Check out her beautiful stitching album here.

Well, nothing else going on here. Write soon! :)

  4. The houses are looking good.

    About your vertigo ... a friend had to have the crystals in her inner ear adjusted, and she's been fine since. It can be so many different things.

  5. You know those windows have been bugging me. I'm going to start filling in mine tomorrow - I like the idea of a different color than what is charted. I'll think about doing that tonight. :-) Hope you feel better soon!

  8. I hope you're feeling better soon, Nicole! Your Houses block looks great. I was hoping to get another block done on Shores by the 30th, too, but those blocks are stitch intensive!

  9. Your house looks wonderful, that black really defines it! So sorry to hear about your vertigo, if it continues you might consider going to the doctor, you could have an inner ear infection. Take care!

  13. So sorry to hear about your case of vertigo. I've only had that once and because I didn't know what it was, was scared half to death! Hope that you're feeling better today. And your Houses is looking great and I do like the color changes that you made! I'm still trudging along on Shores - Block #3 - stitch intensive and I think I need a break!
