I'm so happy to see the return of Lancelot and Guinevere. I am completely back in love with it. I ought to point out that at no point did I fall out with this piece, I just had other projects that I had to/wanted to work on, but now that I'm in the New Year I've got nothing that I need to work on, I'm completely allowed to work on what I want, so I went back to the long neglected Lancelot and Guinevere.
I've had a quite productive week actually, which is partially assisted by the fact that I thought I was ushering on Thursday, got to the theatre to find that I'd got my week wrong and it's next Thursday I'm ushering instead, so I suddenly had a free evening. I've managed to get a lot more done than I normally would I think, although I am aware that it still doesn't look like much. It is and will be a window, and there will be some little flowery bits when I get that far, but I haven't started stitching those yet.
I've decided that I'm actually going to change my rotation plans slightly this year (although you know my rotation plans never last for long anyway). My plan is that I'm now going to work a page at a time instead of a week at a time. I'll work on a project until I finish a page and then work on another project until I finish a page and so on and so forth. I don't think it'll achieve me actually stitching any faster, but I think it'll give me more of a sense of achievement because I'll see page finishes more often and actually get to see the progress. That's the plan anyway, it might not work like that.
And the Heaven and Earth Design sales were very dangerous for me, I'm not even admitting to what I got, that's how bad it was!
Hope everyone who celebrates is had a brilliant Christmas and New Year, we were really busy, I went back to work for a break! Hope everyone is good. Happy Stitching!
Progress is slow, but I'm getting there. I've finished all the white (woohoo) and am now finishing up the wall. I was hoping to get this finished before the end of January, but I don't quite think that's going to happen, although I don't think that it'll be too far off. And there's a football match that Ben wants to watch this afternoon, so that'll give me a bit of stitching time anyway. I keep looking at the wall thinking that it doesn't quite look right, there's a slight curve in it that looks odd, but I keep referring back to Selina's original art work and the curve is in there as well. It's one of those one where I think that a couple of other pages will make it look a bit more settled.
Did everyone had a good International Hermit and Stitch Weekend? I didn't get as much done as I meant to, but I still got a fairly decent amount done, more that I expected to so that's okay. It was a pretty busy weekend, so I can live with it. And I managed to get some more white done, which is in itself an achievement, because it's evil and I hate it. Excuse the bad picture by the way, I got a new computer this weekend (so happy, it actually works, I've started being able to comment on peoples blogs again), but I don't yet have picture editing software to trim my pictures like I normally do.
It's starting to come together and look like the two pages are actually related in someway, which is nice. Although I'm not sure about one of the patches of white, now that I look at this picture I can't quite work out why it's there. But if I look at the full picture it does kinda make sense, it just looks odd at the moment. It's been another surprisingly productive week actually, even though it's included white on white (which I'm trying to do a bit at a time, if I did it all at once I think I'd go crazy). Hope I can keep this kind of productivity up, it's quite nice actually being able to see progress happening.
