BFF SAL 16 - Green and the Space Between

I'm enjoying this pattern,  it's starting to show the shapes of the picture even with only some outlines. 

Conversation this week was varied, from Lego to dental appointments, and about the way we often like to fill the space with easy conversation topics so that we don't have to think so much about the harder stuff in life.  And that is very often what we do, whilst knowing without a doubt that the hard stuff exists,  but providing the easier space we both need.  

My BFF did not think my description of the building picture from her progress was appropriate for blogging... but it made us giggle anyway!!

BFF SAL 16 - Got the Blues

Well certainly a couple of them at least this week.   Filling in quite nicely.   Everything seems to have nice "jumping off points" on this project.

BFF SAL 16 Thread-he-went-a-walking

A hum.  Actually that makes me giggle as that green is very Kermit the Frog.  But no frogs in this one.  And a little early to guess from the shapes.


Why the post title? Humph... another thread that I would swear to owning, but cannot locate.  You just know it's going to turn up as soon as I purchase a new skein! I think it's gone for a walk somewhere!!

I did quite enjoy my part of the stitch,  but feel like the overall plan may be changed as we go slowly along, as it is both bigger and more complex than our eyes first suggested. We shall see.

BFF SAL 15, let the circle be unbroken

Yay, finished!!


It's a pretty little stitch,  not decided on how it will end up so for now I will take the win as a finish.

BFF SAL 15 - nearly almost nearly

Well there's now some part of every piece on here.I have half a rose to cross stitch and a mountain of backstitch to go.

Given that I still have about 10 minutes off-camera time left, I agree with my BFF in that we'll probably finish next week.   As long as I remember to sort out our patterns, then we will have a something new for number 16 ready to go.
