This is one pattern which I will definitely not stitch again. I've always asked myself what colours do I have a problem with and they are white and cream together. It was a drag to stitch the edge of his red cloak. Those white, creams and golds are really confusing me. I am over that part now and I am really not looking forward to stitch his beard, hair and the edge of his hat.
HAED is having a Labour Day sale right now. I didn't buy anything again this sale, not yet. I guess I won't be buying unless some really great charts catch my eye. Well, I did buy Koukiotis Mermaid's Touch the day before the sale started. No heartaches for not waiting to buy it when there is a sale. I still get 15% off as I subscribe to their newsletter. I thought Mermaid's Touch shouldn't be that difficult but when I compared her to Over the Rainbow, Mermaid's Touch is actually more complicated! Still, I've been waiting for this mermaid to be charted since Koukiotis released her and she will definitely be stitched once Angel of Spring is done.
I used the GC I won for this year Silkweaver Gallery on 3 solos. I love the 3rd piece a lot but it was gone really fast. I managed to get it into my cart after 45 mins :0))
Bought this Tutti Fruiti last week when Silkweaver listed her Odds and Ends. It is actually slightly darker than the last piece I had. I sold the other Tutti Fruiti as I find it too light for my taste. I am quite happy with this one. At least I can get the colours out with my camera.
DD started her first dancing lesson last Thursday. Both DH and I thought she was doing really well throughout the 45 mins. However, when we were about to go home, she told me she doesn't like it and find it quite boring. She told me that she wants to go back to her sport lessons. The new season is starting next week. However, I am not so fond of the timing they have for this season. It is from 5.15pm to 6pm and it used to be 4.15pm to 5pm. DH said not to take this away from her and we can find an arrangment with the timing - dinner and bedtime. Since all the activities are starting next week, we will bring her to all and try them out. Just found 2 more sport activities in another town. We think why she thought the dancing was so boring could be due to the fact that they are constantly in a circle and not moving all over the place. She feels that it is too restricted, unlike the sport, which they have to run around the whole hall to do different type of exercises.
I wish everyone a great Labour Day!
