On my life, last week
Jan. 16th, 2023 11:27 amBlackwork/Stitching
I loved working on Peppermint's SAL last year, so I signed up for this year's SAL. I finished the last rectangle this weekend, and the plan was to start working on the layout for the 2023 piece... but, you know, plans.
i have decided to keep working on the 2022 SAL and stitch one of the borders. Hopefully, by the time I'm done with that I'll finally know if I want to work with black fabric and white thread or the other way around. White on black looks great, but it has some problems:
1) None of the local stores sell black aida, which means I'll have to order it online, and I like being able to see the fabric before I buy it.
2) I can only work on it during the weekends, because it's when I have my mornings free. Black fabric requires good light!
3) Some of the fills in th 2022 used a dark blue, and it doesn't look that good, I think. Not a big problem, though, because I can just pick a brighter shade of blue.
( Couple of games )
( Things to do this week )
PS: Fire Emblem Engage is coming out this week!
