Another thank you

Thank you so much for the kind comments about my sweet Maxie, they are much appreciated. It seems like most of the stitchers I know (virtually for the most part) have pets as well, and it is comforting to share with those who understand the joy they bring and the sorrow their loss causes.

I have been plugging away at the Mirabilia model, though I was disheartened to hear that Nora has decided to make some changes to the skin tones which will require re-doing some/all of the skin. Getting smooth lines along the skin edges is always the hardest part of a Mira and it's always a relief to be done with it, so hearing that I'll have to frog it and do it again was not good news. She wants to see a picture when I'm closer to being finished, so at this point I don't even know how bad it's going to be. Grumble, grumble...

I've still been doing a square each day on the Carolyn Manning daily temperature SAL, and am looking forward to seeing some brighter colors appearing in April. That orange in March seems like a long time ago, and even that was only 54F!

Little House Needleworks came out with a new design at Nashville market and it was just too cute to pass up so I ordered the chart along with the Classic Colorworks floss and the recommended fabric. When it arrived I took a couple of days off from the model to make a start on it, as it was just too tempting having all of the materials right in front of me!

I probably won't work on it again until the model is done, which I am hoping will be next month some time. I have a large Rosewood Manor model to start at that time, but I'll probably take a week or so to play with my own stitching before I do so.

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
