Believe it or not

I'm back!! You always knew I would be eh?!

I had a mega stitching slump at the end of 2006 - I always do seem to trail off in December but this was serious - about 4 months and hardly a needle lifted - what was happening to me!!!

I did, from time to time, pick up my Rose Fairy and put a few stitches in. But I've gone a bit wrong on it, and not being in stitching mode could not bring myself to sort it out. It will get done eventually, I'm feeling a little drawn back to it right now. Maybe it will happen ..... maybe not.

The real work has been done on my Ballet Dancer ...... taa daa!!

I am determined to finish - I've run out of a couple of colours - my frogging and not Lanarte's fault, unfortunately the pattern doesn't include the DMC numbers so I have to use my eyesight and colour chart and come up with the best matches. Not something I relish. These missing colours explain the hole in her head and half a missing foot - but she does at least look human now and not just a blue blob. The background stitching, in particular the bit on the floor which is shadow, is the most boring ever! I am so looking forward to finishing it. Don't have any strict rotation plans at the moment ..... will go with the flow. Would like to get a few more finishes done this year though - the stash cupboard is bursting at the seams!
