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.

BFF SAL 16 - In Absentia

For goodness sake, how is it possible to buy thread and lose it before even starting to use it??  3778 and I think 819 are off somewhere on a merry jaunt and preventing me using them for another week. 

Did a steady plod with some of the sea blue and a teeny bit of brown. But we were both a bit on the pooped side,  we've decided that as ladies of a certain age and responsibilities level,  there are insufficient hours in the day for sufficient sleep as well as everything else on our ToDo List (metaphorically speaking as we can't find the real ones LOL).

BFF SAL 16 - Piling on the Blues

Filling in water (and oddly house which looks grey on pattern print, but definitely states blue thread). There was a little additional pink but mostly a Blue Day today.

Enjoying this pattern, as my BFF has a different plan for how the finished image will look to my own, there may be some divergence as she catches up, either with off camera work for her, or with off-SAL work for me.

Conversation turned to the oddness of YouTube content and my own foibles around childish acts being paraded in front of the world... but hey it takes all kinds to make a world, and I'm sure that there are plenty would find my own set of hobbies odd too. So I shall step down from my virtual soapbox LOL.
