Page 1 Done!

I'm happy to report that page 1 is finished!  It's my largest page since all of the other pages have bleed over.  Next week I may not get much done because my husband's family is coming to town and his autistic brother is staying with us.  I've never stayed the night with them so I'm not sure how it's going to be but we have a small apartment and I guess he likes to stay up all night and slams doors so we'll see.  I just hope between spending time at the parks, work and having his brother here that I can get some sleep in.  His dad will be working part of the time he's here but his sister will be spending most of the time with us.  I also threw out my back today while I was cleaning for their arrival so I can't bend down without a sharp pain.  But I did manage to make healthy chocolate brownies that work with my diet.  So far I'm down between 5-10 pounds (the number on my scale and the doctor's scale were 5 pounds off).  If I go by my scale number I only lost 5.  But that's okay as I'm being a lot healthier and even lost my fast food cravings.  The thing I miss most is soda so I may cheat and have one tomorrow.  But anyway I've been stuck on my couch with my heated blanket on my back watcing Sabrina the Teenage Witch on Amazon Prime.  Well without further ado here are the pictures!

I couldn't decide if I liked the black border around the letter but decided to keep it as there are a lot of color changes and think this will make it stand out better.  The colors are more true in the top picture.  This is also the only letter we'll be seeing for a while as I'm sick of oranges so I'm moving to the next page down instead of across so we'll start to see some of the sea and some greens and blues.  The next line of the phrase is shorter so it won't come until the page to the right of the next page and the last line is even shorter.  But we should see another letter or two when I make it back up to the second page on top.

Until next time,
Keep on stitchin!

  3. Sorry to hear about your back - housework's a bummer isn't it! Your first page finish looks fab. I've had my eye on this chart for a long time but really can't justify anymore stash. Perhaps that will change as I watch your progress! Hope you have a nice time with your family and your back gets better soon. :)

  4. Wow. It's gorgeous! I love the black outline. I agree with you it makes it stand out even more. Don't blame you for being sick of orange. How I feel with Selkie and blue haha. Hope you have a great time with your hubby's family and hope your back pain goes away quickly.
