I finally got back to stitching after about a month. I can't wait for April to be over, exactly 2 weeks after my pap died, my father in law died.
On a brighter note, I finished my first mill hill kit. I didn't really like the perforated paper, but I did enjoy stitching this, and especially adding the beads. Next time I think I will stitch it on evenweave.
Anyone who has stitched this or has this will notice that I left out the background mountain and stuff at the bottom right. I simply disliked it and felt it took away from the owl. The kit was also missing one color the brown, which I disliked the color so I picked my own brown.
I worked a bit on Earthdancer as well. I was able to stitch the wisp Of hair and the feathers at the top of her head.mnext time I hope to complete her face.

ReplyDeleteStitching does bring me comfort
DeleteSorry about your losses. FYI: Mill Hill is great about sending out missing parts to their kits. I have even asked for a few beads to finish a kit if I ran out.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wasn't aware of that. Now I know for next time
DeleteSorry to hear about your FIL's passing as well. Excellent finish and good to make it your own. Nice work on the feathers as well.
