Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!  I hope everyone enjoys it, here at my house we aren't really celebrating.  I spent the morning cleaning and I'll spend tonight stitching.  We had a bbq last night so that was our big weekend meal.  

I've finally made some good progress on paradise.  Last time I was here:


Now I'm here:
Sorry for the dark pictures the lighter greens I'm using don't show up well.  The bright blue on the mountains was so fun to stitch!  It's mostly 995 and is so much brighter in person!  I'm about 3/4 of the way through the page and I'm really hoping I'll finish the column before Thursday because I leave on Friday for vacation for a week.  And it's too big to take with but I may try if I have room in my suitcase.  

I got a RAK from someone in the HAED Facebook group too.  I don't know why she picked me but I'm now the proud owner of mccaws.

Thanks for stopping by I'll be back sometime next week :)

  1. Happy Easter to you. You are making good steady progress with your design. I have enjoyed the holidays with some good family time and lots of stitching too - perfect weekend despite the mixed weather.

    Your RAK looks challenging.

  10. I always enjoy seeing the whole Paradise piece, it's come along way, so beautiful! Congrats on snatching another HAED RAK, and you're wondering why you, haha...because you've been mostly working on big pieces maybe that's why she chose you:) You're so good at this, have fun stitching!
