Meanwhile, I spent a good chunk of January 2 doing a silk conversion for a sampler I want to stitch this year, Though He Seemth Sleeping by Lucy Beam. I think I’ve just about got it…there are 20 colors in the chart but I probably will not even use all of these. Or maybe I will. Anyway, I think I’ve got plenty to choose from as I get it going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can appreciate that this is one of my favorite color palettes. And I have the perfect piece of linen, 36 count Duxbury from Fox and Rabbit. It is suitably aged and “grubby” looking to match the original, but not too grubby for me! I don’t usually love a lot of dark \u201cstained\u201d look mottling but this one is just fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This week gets back to normal for us. Yay!, and ugh. I’ve enjoyed a good break from “normal” which has been so nice, and it will also be nice to get back to regular routines , but I know I will also appreciate the break more once it is all over! Does that make sense? Have a great first week of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yay! I have finished the Victoria Sampler Biscornuments series!
