Long Time No Post

Oops it's been a long time since I posted. First I was busy busy getting everything ready for my 4th of July party. We found a tent we really like but it wouldn't be here in time for our camping event. So we just roughed it inside haha. The backyard didn't dry out but the front yard worked perfect and we talked about just setting up there next year. We had neighbors on both sides of us spend WAY too much money on fireworks and we just sat and got a free show haha. It was a wonderful time full of laughs and smiles. We are so lucky to have some fantastic friends that's for sure. I just spent time talking and relaxing so no stitching for almost 2 weeks! But sometimes it's nice to take a break. I missed the HAP SAL post and I missed a WIPocalypse update but I'm just going to wait and combine them tomorrow for my Turtle Trot post. Sound good? If not oh well you have to wait anyway haha.

I did do something that I just had to stop and show off. Yesterday I finished page 2 of Selkie. Here she is again to show you what she will look like...

I'm working on her from the top left and going down in columns instead of across in rows. So here are the first two pages of BLUE...

34 Days of work on her so far. 15,440 stitches in. 275,260 left to do haha. Okay let's not talk about that part haha. Working her on 32ct 1 thread over 1 thread. I've looked ahead and there are finally some different colors on the next page down. I think I'll be getting to the rocks soon!!! At least there seem to be different shades of blue haha. The first two pages have been a combination of about 7 different shades of blue. Lots and lots of new symbols on the next page. So we'll see what happens. My ONS (Online Needlework Shop - House of Stitches) was able to get the dragon patterns I wanted and they are in the mail on their way to me. So I will work on Selkie until they arrive. I can't wait to start them!!!!
