I really should had stopped stitching when I was on her hair. I thought the colours were just not right as they all seemed to look so pale. The original photo has some dark beige/brown on her hair and face and also her hand. I sent an email to the German ONS where I bought the magazine from and the mail was forward to Bourduurblad in Netherland, who in turn forward the mail to back to Denmark - Permin/Eva Rosenstand. I could had written or call Permin/Eva Rosenstand directly but I thought since this pattern was published in the Dutch magazine, they have the right to know if there's any corrections to the colours. I love how the Dutch work - really great customer service. The lady from Bourduurblad was constantly sending emails to Permin/Eva Rosenstand asking for the right colours and I could see from her mails to them that she wants this problem to be settled fast. I hope to get the right colours from Permin/Eva Rosenstand soon to complete this project. Now, I just have to frog all the beiges out first.
For the last 2 days, I was already planning a project which I've always wanted to do for a long time. I've taken some of Katerina Koukiotis' works charted by
HAED and put them together. I will only stitch a small area for those charts - 200x200 for each one.
A package arrived this morning. It is a special order I placed with
Kagebutikken. I ordered 2 sets of these - 1 for our daughter's birthday party and the other one for her party in the kindergarten. Not what I expected as I wanted the base to be light green and some glitter on the flowers she is sitting on. Well, I am still satisfied with the results and the fondant smells really good. I planned a Tinkerbell party for her 6th birthday.
We had our first snow yesterday. It was snowing the whole day. It is going to be a really harsh winter this year according to the weather forecast.
Un beso.
