Miserable Week!

I caught a cold and I've been miserable. I'm finally getting over it, thankfully! That spring cleaning I was talking about doing... Yeah, it didn't happen (except for a few charts I sold - thank you to those who bought them)! I go down to Florida April 1st and I was hoping to get a lot done before then. Maybe I still can, if I can find the motivation!

Anyway, I did do a little bit of stitching on Paradise Lost...

Paradise Lost as of 3/18/10

I finished the angel, sun, and crown on the right side of the banner and started on the clouds above the banner.

Paradise Lost

I also decided to start something new..

BBD Summer Iris

It's Summer Iris by Blackbird Designs. I'm stitching it on 34 ct. Legacy Linen (Cafe Au Lait) using the recommended WDW and GAST threads (2 over 2).

Well, I'd better get dinner started! Write soon! :)

  12. I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling. I think that the seasonal change colds have just got to be about the worst ones that you can get. You've made great progress especially on PL even though you haven't been feeling well. Hope you're 100 percent soon!!

  16. How awful you've got a cold, Nicole. Glad to see it hasn't stopped you from stitching all together. Still making good progress on Paradise Lost, and I'm loving your Summer Iris. You've done your initial much better than the one I did, I may have to redo mine. :) Never been completely happy with it.
