DUCJC 2015 - Day 26

Good morning all!

First things first..... I'm way behind on reading bogs, leaving comments and replying to mine so please bear with me whilst I try to catch up. Thank you.

I like this chart a lot and was glad I chose it as one of my January starts. It's really delicate to stitch as the whole of the background is in one strand. I didn't get as much done as hoped but it has still been an absolute joy so far.

Good Morning Nelson!

DUCJC 2015 - Day 11

Good morning!

Day 11, just over one third of the way through and I am still loving starting a new project everyday! I thought it would get boring and frustrating but so far... so good!

Thank you again for all of the comments you are leaving. They are all read and really appreciated, especially those along the lines of "I'd like to stitch that too". It's nice to know I might be providing inspiration (and depleted bank balances!) to fellow stitchers.

On to the new start. This is quite a large chart compared to previous Challenge starts but was just far too cute to ignore. The leaves are 1 over 1 - a weird feeling as I couldn't cut and loop or railroad. The pale blue/green shading on the fabric is very subtle but should look lovely showing through, hopefully mimicking a summer sky (because that's why I bought it!)
