I Miss Snow
Stitching this piece really does remind me of all the fun we had in Canada… and long for the snow. Brisbane summers are just way too hot for my liking which is crazy since I have lived here most of my life. Just never got used to this crazy heat and humidity.
Anyway last night I got quite a bit of time to stitch, I was feeling better after having the last couple of days off work with a tummy bug and had the urge to see how much of this cute litte design I could get done. The dragon dreams charts are *really* simple little or no fractional stitches and just basic colours in large blocks. For a long time I didn’t like them that much… too cartoony, but over time a few of them have grown on me and I can appreciate the more playful and whimsical side of these designs. I got most of the second dragon done (just the head and scarf to go with a few shading stitches down around the legs) and even managed to do a little more on the backstitching from the first dragon. Once the back stitching is done and the other dragon finished (easily do able next rotation I think) there is just the lettering and the snowflakes. All in all I think I should have this finished by the end of March after all. I want to change the snowflakes that are just stitched with white thread for beads to give it a little extra sprakle I think I have some lovely clear with a bluish tint ones left over from deepest love that should work nicely.
