Now for this month's topic question.
April 22 – Topic:
What do you listen to while stitching? (via Jo)
Well that's it for this blog post. Thanks for stopping by.......
Greetings all, I took a look at the WIP list on my website
and picked this project to work on. "Pegasus and Butterflies" a Crewel /
Embroidery project that I haven't touched since Jan. 27, 2007 . I find I really don't care to work with wool so the poor thing gets neglected a lot.
Usually I listen to the radio either a pop/country or
70's/80's music station. I tried listening
to audio books while stitching, but I'd get so wrapped up in the story that I'd
catch myself - hands motionless not stitching.
So I stick to the radio if I want to get some serious progress done. I can binge watch Dark Shadows on DVD. That old soap opera progressed so slowly in
its story arc that I can easily listen and not look; one disk has roughly nine
30 minute episodes. I'm at episode 74 of
2,225.

Such pretty colours, it looks fab!
Very pretty. I remember watching Dark Shadows as a kid. I thought it was scary then. But enjoyable now.
Thanks Claire! You are set to Noreply-Comment so I can't email you a reply.
I love the pegasus pattern and butterflies are so pretty with the rainbow of colors. I'm a Dark Shadows fan too.
Your crewel work has gotten a lot farther long than mine - I finished one, but when I tried to stretch it, the threads all broke :( The other has not really made it out of the package. I really didn't enjoy working with he wool either. Need to find it a good home with someone who would love it.

OhSewCrafty and Sandy Thanks for commenting but you are both set to noreply-comment and I can't email you back.
Wow, this is beautiful! I could never get the knack of embroidery, so I admire your talent. Great progress!
Thanks for commenting Angela S but you're set to noreply-comment so I can't email you back. :(
I have a hard time with crewel wool as well. I really want to try it but the one time I did I didn't enjoy the experience. A guild member I spoke with said I would like it if I learned how to do it properly. We'll see ;)
That unicorn and the butterflies are so pretty! You must stitch this more often!
What bright colors, sorry you're not enjoying this one! I understand though, I've got a couple crewel kits too and just can't get into it either.
