AAAARRRGGHHH !!!!! Mild panic!!!! I have to have my 11-7-11 sheepie stitched today and I've not even tweaked the design!!!!! I'm at work - how can I play with my charts when I'm at work??????
As it turns out, I'm aware this quick design takes me just over 2hours from go to whoa and, as luck would have it, I had prepared a crock-pot dinner, so the theory was that I could dish up dinner the moment I got home, then sit and stitch. No trouble! I even had time for a wee nanna nap. (My stitching chair is so comfortable, it's inevitable that I nod off for at least 30 minutes each time I settle in for a session of stitching)
I tweaked the design over dinner (yes....terribly bad manners, but I was the only one at the table, the boys were all staring at the telly) - I added beanies, green gumboots and woolly scarves to my sheep - after all, we are in the middle of a cold snap here in Victoria. It IS Winter !!! And I've been saving this pun for several months!
Looking at all the other sheepies I have stitched, I'm thinking this is going to either be made into a wall hanging or a table runner at the end of the year. I've a few months to find the 'right' fabric.
I am having so much fun with this series...
I'm finding myself however, having to explain how obsessed with sheep I've become in the past 6 months. Not all my workmates understand. (I'm not certain the family do either!!)
