Back to stitching
It's been two slow days for stitching, Wednesday I spent most of my evening on the phone and yesterday I did all the shipping for this week for the shop. Tonight I finally sat down and worked further on my mystery gift. It's coming along nicely, I had to frog a part as I didn't read the pattern correctly, but that's been restitched.

I also got my Caron order in and now I have all the threads to start Catherine Agnes. I will have to decide upon the fabric, I'm really tempted to do it on 32 count black evenweave. I saw a picture of somebody who did it on black fabric and it was stunning. It's quite a challenging piece, lots of stitches I haven't tried before.

I also got two more boxes to store my fabrics, one is meant for my stitching fabrics, the other for my finishing fabrics. And let me tell you, my finishing fabrics are almost as much as my linen-evenweave collection. I just love picking up these fabrics and always think I'll find a destination for them. Usually I do, but it may take a while (that's my excuse and I`m sticking to it).

And to enlighten this rambling with a picture, here's what I stitched for an exchange. The recipient received her package, so I can show it now.

It's a free chart by In A Gentle Fashion and it took me two tries to get it right. No, the stitching is not difficult at all, but I had miscalculated the placement and didn't have enough fabric for the finishing. It's a cute way of finishing a triangular design.
