Last week I didn\u2019t just work on the reticule. We are back to school with online school for 4 of our 5 kids so I haven\u2019t had quite as much stitching time but I did get some work done on some Smalls. Lest I don’t get around to it, I committed to Smalls first thing since I didn’t get one done last month. This is the Dragonfly Pinkeep “Free–Bee” from La-D-Da. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think you can still find the chart online if you search around. It was originally distributed as a freebie to shops that were selling the supplies to make it. Well, I inherited the chart with no supplies so I chose my own, except I did buy the Sierra Haze Gloriana for the wings-just couldn’t resist such a neat color-purples, blues and browns and much better in real life than this picture! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I originally planned to do it as my dragonfly themed project for Jo\u2019s People\u2019s Choice in June but that didn\u2019t happen. Then it was supposed to be my July Small. Oh well, it\u2019s not like I haven\u2019t stitched at all! In the end it was quick and I stitched it all out at the pool while the kids swam last week and managed not to get it wet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My new pool project is a continuing BBD\u2019s When This You See which was a fundraiser design several years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned before, I struggled mightily with it at first on the beautiful dark 36ct linen (Lupine from PTP). Out at the pool the bright light it great and my new reading glasses are making it possible. The kids need a swim to release their pent up energy after a day of sitting with screens and schoolwork so I should get at least a 20-30 minutes a day on this. Maybe I\u2019ll have it done to turn in for my small this month! (Where have you heard that before??)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS: I am having major blogging issues between connecting to my blog from my phone where my pictures are and uploading my posts once they’re written. I’ve been writing posts but haven’t been able to publish any till I could sort things out today! I have a few more cued up! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
