Color distress
I'm working on this sampler and having color distress. I'm really trying to like this mint green tree but just can't do it. I know this is what is called for in the pattern, called Eve's Leaves by Crescent Colors. It just invokes memories of green mints at Tupperware parties my mom use to have in the 70's. Nope, can't do it. So I'm changing up.
I also changed the heart when I stitched to Just Rust by Crescent Colors instead.

Here again, is the mint color.........I just can't make it a tree. I just can't.

My midnight musings last night.....or this morning.
This is what I mean here, a mess. This is my stitching chair that couldn't possibly hold another thing. The arms are convenient large pinchusions. Project bags, patterns, floss from who=knows which pattern, and maybe a little popcorn from snacking in the chair last night. And believe it or not I could sit my bottom in this chair comfortably while I stitched with my stitching stand.
My progress. I did alot of counting to make sure I had the foundation of this correct. You know count three times, stitch once. I count 10 times in this case.
That finished the Pea Pod green color. Literally it used almost 1 skein. I was holding my breath because I had......1 skein.

About 1 am I started this lighter green tree and after watching the Kennedy news yesterday for the (I stopped counting by 2am) whatever time, I stopped as my eyes were crossing instead of the needle and thread.

So, here you have it, my progress so far on the Blue House sampler by The Sampler Girl!
(Whispering )Now, I must wake up with some fresh coffee and cinnamon bagels with cream cheese. My hubbie hasn't woke yet ( so shhhhhhh)...............I might get 2 of them.

Or then again Ren may decide to announce his awakening this morning and then it's over, man, it's over................
Till later (shhhh)
