Progress, Dilemma and Depression.

Finished...?

 Progress has been made and i'm left with a dilemma. The teddies are finished, almost. I quite like them like this, but below is what they should look like... Yes, dots are missing, or rather French Knots. Lots of them.

Now anyone who sews knows French knots, you can either do them, or you can't. I'm in the latter half, french knots are an almost mastered task, but i still mess 90% of them up, so do i do the knots, or not and just leave it as it is? Be a shame to ruin it with mistakes and messy knots, and let's face it when you mess up a french knot, you can't really unpick it!

So a dilemma stays , until i decide.

French knots...to do or not to do?

And another day is facing me, and outside it's dark and wet, and inside it's kinda swaying. My health has taken a nosedive, a long with my mood. I doubt very much i will get anything done. Standing is like being on a boat at sea, as too is sitting, and nausea is certainly no fun. And having a fall earlier has decided today for me.  Rest and nothing else.

The beginning of cuteness.

This is the start of a new project that came free with this months issue of World of Cross-Stitching. A delightfully cute hedgehog, by Margaret Sherry, holding a large bouquet of daffodils. Certainly cheerful enough when the weather is so bad. And a reminder that spring isn't so far. Most of this i did last night whilst my son has his buddy over. Half stitches, quarter stitches and backstitch, along with the normal cross stitches. It will certainly be a challenge, but worth it.

Happy Crafting!
