BFF SAL 16 - a Squash and a Squeeze

That was my favourite Julia Donaldson book when my 18 year old was a toddler. 

It's also how filling in some of the beige was feeling this week,  so I abandoned it in favour of more blue.  Am starting to feel a need to be 'done' with many of my projects at the minute,  and this is no exception.  So near and yet quite far away.

BFF SAL 16 -Feeling Blue again

More blue tonight, 519 around the boat and completing the right hand water.  And then a mixture of 827 half stitches in single and double strands.   I did try to do both together but found it too slow, tonight I separated for a much nicer experience.  Lots of sky to go, but it feels like a productive evening.

BFF SAL 16 - P all over

Lots of 519 this week (or the symbol P). Literally stitched only a single colour, sometimes you get your eye in for a particular bit.  The outlines of the boat are just starting to make themselves felt now.

You will see from my BFF's update here how it's going to look, as that particular one is quite well filled.   I do think it's been interesting to watch these grow.

Excuse the shadow in picture, I was working on low battery but determined to take the photo anyway while I remembered!

BFF SAL 16 - located but invisible

Yippee,  I purchased some 762!.. Yippee,  I finished off the unfinished stitches and worked a little on another project with it too!

Can I see the evidence of it? Nah, not really, cos it's 762 on white and therefore almost invisible.  Ah well!

 

Had fun filling in some beige and a slip of blue.  Check out my BFFs update here to see the comparison. 

BFF SAL 16 - the spirit of perversity

It's been an odd week.  Having had a day off with time to stitch, I actually did less than planned because I really wanted to fill in 762, but do I have it? No. And the same for this pattern.   But tonight I did lots of random bits,  and felt like it was a productive night, even if I was denied the one colour I was waiting for. 

I'm enjoying this one but will also be looking forward to being past some of It's challenges, like the sky in 2 different variations of the same thread for half stitches.

BFF SAL 16 - get the roofers in

YAY! Today I remembered that I bought the missing 3778 before our holidays.  So tonight my houses have roofs (rooves? Which is the correct plural?) We were discussing the weirdness of languages as we oft do, as both of us are learning foreign languages via Duolingo. 

It's odd how much better I feel just having fixed the holes in the house roofing!

There was much discovery of further missing shades which will require shopping at the weekend.

BFF SAL 16 - All over the place

Title describes well the Stitching tonight,  a bit here, a bit there, and another but over here.  With the overall feeling like I'd not really moved forwards particularly well.  

It is also a description of my weird mood swings this last couple of weeks.  Menopause woes are taking over my body and I'm just annoying myself at the minute let alone anyone else.  My poor BFF probably didn't get the best of company today.

But we shared some time and stitches which was good to get to do.
