Ahh... that's better!

 

I went to my LNS today and picked out a few AVAS to replace some of the Vikki Clayton silks. I think most of them were right on, there were just a few that didn't really go. Anyway, I'm much happier with the more subtle look.


Well, I think I've realized why I've been starting so many projects. I'm anxious. It always happened when I was pregnant. I didn't realize that I may be anxious for my brother and my SIL. She's due with my niece on the 7th. I think I have been subconsiously anxious about the baby. I know, it's not my baby, but we are very close and I may be helping to take care of the baby when she goes back to work. It's just so exciting. And I worry though... I know how hard it was when I had my first baby. Everything is new and your life is turned upside down. Anyway, so I think I've come up with a cause for the startitis. By the way, she's in the hospital now, they're going to induce her because she had hypertension and gestational diabetes. I hope everything goes well for her. Please tell me not to start another new project tonight. I came very close. I need help. I need someone to tie down my hands! :) No, seriously I'll be fine. I'm going to work on my little January Flip-it, maybe I can actually finish something! Hopefully I'll have baby news next time I write! :) 

And the startitis continues....

I swear I need professional help! I received my silks I ordered from Vikki Clayton yesterday for Ann Trump and Sarah Moon. I already had the fabric (36 ct. Examplar by Lakeside) I got on sale at Elegant Stitch, so I couldn't resist starting a little on Ann Trump. I came across a small dilemma though...

The peach I started stitching is brighter than the DMC, should I change it, or just keep going... hmmm? I wonder if it will matter once it's all stitched. This is my first time using VC silks. I'm very happy with the quality of the silks, especially since they are such a good deal! I guess I could always use the DMC for that section, or look through my silk stash to see if I could get it matched up better.


I got a tiny bit more stitched on January - got some of the lettering filled in. DH has been home, so I haven't been able to do much more. He goes back to work and new Grey's comes on tonight - not that I'm excited about that or anything! :) The LNS I go to in Port Charlotte is having a big sale Saturday and Sunday... I'm trying to tell myself not to go, that I don't need anything (which is so true!), but it's a SALE! Why can't I resist sales? :P Well, baby is awake, so I'd better go! Write later! :)
