almost!

I am down to the wire on this one! Yeah! And I'm almost out of thread on four of my colors. I didn't go with the recommended colors because I didn't have any so I just winged it with what I already had on hand. And all of them where partial skeins. I won't have any of the two pinks or any of the two greens left. In fact, I might be stitching with air those last couple of dark green stitches. ;-) But the end is near! I've only been working on this two weeks but for me and a BBD that is forever. I can usually finish one of their designs in a week or so.

I would like to start working on the latest LF #31, Blessings and Kind Wishes but after looking at the fiber requirements, I need to purchase all but one skein. I'm not sure I want to spend the cash right now as I'm feeling cheap and I have plenty of other stuff to keep me busy. I also want to get started on the BBD Mystery that came with this years LF charts. Did you see how big that piece will be when it's completed? 23" x 8"! Wow that's a biggy BBD for sure. If you are stitching it all on one piece (as I am) you will need a piece of linen that is 27" x 12" (30 count). I'm doing mine on 32 count and I think I'll dye another piece of linen like I did for this one but in a little more of a grayish tan. I'm hoping to get started on the Mystery before the next LF comes out but I might not make it as I expect #32 to come out soon.
