My order from HDF still hasn’t arrived. Its most distressing, especially considering my order from Silkweavers, that was posted 2 days later, arrived today. I guess the Snowpocalypse on the NE coast may have disrupted the mail… I bought a grab bag from silkweaver, which turned out to be more 28ct than anything, but hey, it gives me a selection of colours to play with, including 4 13×18 inch pieces to choose between for Nora Corbett’s Lily Pixie.
Mysteries:
And a fat quarter of Starquest 28ct on jaszlyn fabric:
I actually like this dyelot better than the official piece I deliberately bought… shame its 28ct. So much prefer 32ct.
Maybe the HDF will arrive tomorrow.
I pulled Mermaid of the pearls off the stand tonight for two reasons:
1. I actually wanted to make some decent progress on her fin and 2 handed stitching at this stage is SLOW for me
and 2. my mad cat was using the stand for target practice. I caught him leaping up and clawing the fabric. BAD CAT!!!
So anyway, here she is:
Her fin in real life is actually quite pale. For some reason it photographs really brightly.
