More Baby Bug Ball

Anne S

Sorry, but this is probably all you’ll be seeing until it’s finished … although I’m very worried about one thread, as I have only one and a bit strands left, and I still have an entire wing done with a full XS in that thread (all the others are done with 1/2 XS), so I’m pretty positive I’m going to run out … ah, yes, I do so detest kits … but even that still can’t remove the positive feeling I feel about this piece – I’m still in love with it! 😀  (apologies for the handshake this morning – was obviously in a hurry to quickly take a happy snap before getting dressed for work – for which I’m now running late … oops)

    1. That’s to bad about running out of thread. I did this kit, and I am pretty sure I didn’t run out (I would have remember that!), but they are always tight on giving enough floss.

      I agree with you though-it is a beautiful piece!

  5. So pretty! Fingers crossed you don’t run out of thread too. Which one is it? I’ll check the stash for you just in case 🙂

    1. It’s an Au Ver A Soie “Soie d’Alger” silk – #3721 ‘palest green’. Thanks for checking lovey!! 😀 There’s been plenty of all the other colours, but just not this one … and I’ve been stitching right up to the last 2 inches of thread on purpose because of having kit problems in the past (not with SB, though). I’m thinking of just doing a half stitch like the other two lots of wings, and hoping it will be enough that way … maybe … LOL.

  9. Lovely stitching.

    Anne…received your card a while ago now. What with back problems and no phone line until today I haven’t had chance to let you know. 🙂

  10. I don’t blame you for being in love with this kit, errr.. I mean design. Don’t love those blasted kits, do you? I know what you mean. If I had that thread, I’d send it off to you, but sometimes it takes longer than you would want to wait. I do love this design!

  11. Anne, I have 3721 if you want some. Hopefully the dye lot matches. I find Soie D’Alger a bit funny in that regard. I can pop a length in the post if you want. 🙂
