I really thought I could get the whole button pouch that goes with Gardenesque stitched in a day. I really did. So I took a day away from unpacking boxes and stitched all day.
It was wonderful.
But I didn't get the whole thing stitched.
The rosebuds did me in.
As usual, everything takes longer than I think it should. The rosebuds, which I have stitched so many times on this project that I no longer have to look at the chart, took longer than all the counting involved in the outline.
But it's done now.
Now I just have to locate the sewing box that everything fits into, and I can start the finishing process. It should be in one of three places. I can get to two of them--the third is blocked off by more boxes. This may mean that I will be unpacking boxes to get them out of the way and won't be assembling anything today.
Anyway, last night I decided I could start a new, new project, and Barbara Jackson's Littlest Pilgrim Hornbook came out to play.
I started to write that I bet I could get a lot of this completed today if I stitched all day.
Isn't that how I started this entry?
Well done on getting the rosebuds finished, Ann! Your new start is looking good. Happy Sunday!
