Indigo Rose Progress

Sorry, it has been so long since my last post. When I've had a chance to stitch, I've worked on my project from camp. I ran out of Kelp and had to do quite a bit of frogging. As you can see the border on the cover is only half there. I ended up having to snip, pick, snip, pick to frog the rest of that border out. It was quite time consuming as well as frustrating. I didn't have enough floss so I couldn't get it replaced right away. Thankfully, yesterday I got new skeins of both Olive and Kelp so I can get started again. Tonight is DH birthday so most of my evening will probably be spent out with him. Heaven forbid, I ask to stay home and stitch instead of going out to dinner, LOL! I think he's going to pick BD's Mongolian BBQ, so I'm quite anxious to go. I'm imagining it already, so if he doesn't choose to go there I will be disappointed.

I'm sorry that this picture isn't more clear. I'll definitely get a better picture before I start the finishing. The fabbie will be ironed too! (I am iron challenged if you hadn't guessed). The small pocket will hold a tin for my needles. The larger one will hold a bone laying tool and my scissors.

The long piece you see is going to be the front and the back of the "book". Here is a picture of what it will look like once it is finished. I'm not a finishing guru, but I cannot wait to finish mine.

Now I just need to find some classes to go to . . .
