Cha Cha Cha...


I began my day of stitching by unstitching a section of my wing. I decided that I needed an intermediate color between the peachy gold and the monarch orange, so I had to surgically remove a large swath of black silk to get to the gold color spots near the top edge of the wing. Two steps forward. Once step back. Cha cha cha.

Once that was accomplished, I had to leave for a PT appointment. By the time I got home it was late afternoon. Plenty of time to return to my needlework.

This is how far I got before calling it quits for the night. I'm much happier with the color adjustment, and I'm looking forward to getting in a few more hours with needle and thread before I work later. I admit I was a bit enthusiastic about how much I could get done on my wing, so today, I'll just do what I can do and be happy with that.

It's hard to believe it's already Friday again. I hope you have a good one.

  3. oh no, frogging is NOT fun especially with silk thread (or rayon). I'm sure it was worth it though, because it's looking amazing.
