Another three weeks has flown by -- it's crazy how fast time passes sometimes!
Last time I had just barely started work on the pink bird:
:I'm sorry to report that, well, I haven't made much more progress on it. Also, weirdly, it looks yellow in my photographs. Must be the lighting in my house!

| really, this Aida is baby pink |
I love the colors -- pinks, peaches, oranges, violets -- and I love how this is coming together. It's just been my second priority, craft wise, for a while.
What was my first priority, you ask? This silly gift for my husband:
When we went to Crater Lake a few weeks ago we stopped at the Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood on the way home. Timberline Lodge was used for the exterior shots of the fictional Overlook Hotel in The Shining. I found this pattern on Etsy that has the famous hallway carpet pattern as the frame, and the words Jack Nicholson is typing over and over. I adapted it to say "Wil" instead of Jack. I thought it would stitch up quickly, but took a lot longer than expected and I hadn't even finished it when we pulled up in the parking lot. I'm not sure what I will do with it -- either frame and hang it in the hallway at home, or stitch it onto one of his packing cubes because travel makes us both less dull. :)
That looks so pretty and cheerful!! If you're struggling with the colours in the picture you can usually correct the "white balance" in most image editing software including your phone. Your camera is trying to keep your image crisp which can change the colours. Not sure what you are using but may help with Google searches if interested
ReplyDeleteNo yellow on my computer, it looks like orange and peachy shade. And hubby should always be the first priority lol xx
ReplyDeleteEvery stitch added to that cute bird is progress. I love the idea of adding that saying to Wil's packing cube. Enjoy your stitching!
ReplyDeleteOf course you should have made Wil’s project a priority! :) The groovy birds are so cute you won’t be able to put them down this month!
