Yesterday I ended up coming home from work due to feeling nauseous and hypersensitive hearing – as it was a ‘theme day’ at work, there was much hilarity and it finally sent me over the edge and I ran screaming for the hills. I guess I’m still not 100% over these darned bugs, as it’s been a real struggle at work this week. Oh well, it’s the weekend again, thank goodness, so two more days to chill out and relax 🙂
Once I did start feeling a bit brighter yesterday afternoon in the peace and quiet of home, I managed to get some stitching done, and managed to finish off my Home of a Needleworker Too. I really like this one – I did change one thing, and replaced the Crescent Colours Old Blue Jeans thread with something lighter – the Old Blue Jeans skeins I have in my stash are just revolting, and I really didn’t want my house stitched in it. Rather than buy more threads, I just found something that would be suitable in my existing stash – I like it soooo much more than that manky Old Blue Jeans 😀
“Home of a Needleworker Too” by Little House Needleworks
Stitched on 28ct Vintage linen by Wichelt
using recommended Crescent Colours threads with one exception
– replaced Old Blue Jeans with Crescent Colours Blue Moon
That now means that I can use those scroll bars to start Mirabilia’s Enchanted Mermaid in the Large/BAP rotation slot … all I need to do now is to blow up a big working copy so I can highlight over the stitched sections easily – might take a run over to Officeworks tomorrow and organise that 🙂
Feather Stitching 
Beautiful finish! I have the first Home of a Needleworker but also want to do this one :o)
Your stitching is DIVINE! Have I ever told you that? So neat and even!
Congratulations on your finish! I was looking at the picture, and even before I read your post, I thought the house looked different! I couldn’t remember what color the house was, but now I know – mine is a murkier blue color. I love your change!
Another wonderful finish.
This is lovely. I plan to stitch it over 1 on 25 count lugana. I’ve converted the overdyes to DMC. Have the frame on hand too but…..where did I put the chart???? I’ve finished Home of a Needleworker earlier this year. Stitched it over 1 on 25 count lugana, just love the look of that. Sorry to read that you are still a bit under the weather. When we have been sick for a while, it does take time to be 100%. Take care.
It’s lovely Anne, congratulations
Congrats on the finish Anne! Looks gret ! you are really on a roll now!
Love the different blue that you chose. Winter in the square is gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing progress pictures of Enchanted Mermaid.
Another great finish! I love the LHN stuff and I like the blue you chose for the house.
It’s beautiful! Congrats!
You are on the roll, aren’t you. First the Winter Square, now Home of a Needleworker – great finishes indeed. Congratulations!
A very lovely finish. Your change of blues worked out quite nicely.
That’s a wonderful finish 🙂 And the house color is perfect. AND a great word I’m going to add to my vocabulary. MANKY…now I have to get off of her and feed my MANKY kids some MANKY old supper….
🙂
