Ever more computer issues left me with no dropbox and no way to update with pictures. Finally got that fixed last night. Hopefully the last time I will have to deal with installing that.

"Savannah Baby Sampler"
Progress 10/8/2013 |
This is the first major color change for one of the animals. The camera on my phone is making everything a little pinker today. I am hoping to get the elephant to pop more with the back stitching color. Will have to choose that carefully. This is DMC 3042 and matches the bedding set perfectly. The crazy part is that the ears are orange. So definitely something different. But I am all for making this gift match. I am hoping to have the elephant's ears done tomorrow so I can finish stitching the long stretches that make up the box outline. By this weekend I should hopefully be onto the giraffe, the next major color change part of this project. It is looking like I am going to finish this on time if not early. There will be a big sigh of relief here once I do. Then I can move onto finishing my homecoming present for myself.
I received my exchange ornie from Carola and I absolutely love it! I saw this pattern while searching for a pattern for her and thought it would fit right in at my house. And look what came to live with me. The fabric is so soft, I can't not touch it. The card was so pretty too. Thank you so much! I am really loving taking part in these exchanges!

On the home front, Hubby has a clean bill of health. Just leftover reaction from the Cipro still hanging around. My son seems to be getting relief with the allergy shots. Hopefully at the next appointment we can either stop the use of some of the medicine or frequency of the shots. Time will only tell.
We finally had some cooler weather around here and I am loving it. My daughter not so much. She has always hated the cold unless there was snow involved. This winter should be fun, huh?
It is looking like we are going to try to be preapproved for a home loan in December, and then I can start house hunting. I am really looking forward to December!
Healthy Stitching!
well done on the stitching front ... I can just make the wee fella out and nice ornaments too :) love mouse xxxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute well done ornie! Nice package you got there! I can see how backstitching will really make it pop! Love the little guy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are coming right along on your animals!! They are so cute! Love the Halloween ornament, too cute! Glad to hear your hubby is doing better. *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteMouse, Thank you! that is what I am worried about. Really hoping the backstitching will make him easier to see.

ReplyDeleteDJ, Thank you! The stitching is just flying along now and I am constantly amazed with what I have accomplished. He really is.
ReplyDeleteThe birth sampler is looking great
ReplyDeleteHi Lena I am way behind in reading blogs. Hope by now your DH is back to total good health. I can't take cipro either. I get hives from it! I had never had a reaction to it in the past but I do now. Love your stitching and the exchange piece is really cute too.
