After yet another blip on the horizon of my health, I FINALLY finished my week 6 challenge of herringbone stitch.
Every time I go into that damn ICU someone creeps in while I am sleeping and steals yet another bit of my brain. I don't know what they want it for but they never leave it at the door for me to collect on the way out.
Hence I was feeling very sluggish in mind and body and could not come up with anything until the fog began to clear. All I could think of was smocking so first of all found a piece of pleating and worked a little bit on that though not very professionally. Then I saw the picture of the swan, and thought the half chevron would make good feathers, but unfortunately that didn't happen very well.
I dont know why I chose the pink and blue colours, but had to resort to purple in the end to satisfy myself. Pink has never been my colour. As a twin I was always the one in blue. I did add some buttonhole stitch for the water, which I did realise after it was complete that it was a bit heavy and overpowering, but at the time could not bring myself to re-do it.
Glad you're feeling better Shirley. I've been re-organizing and tidying up from several finished projects as well as preparing for my first course, so I'm behind in my stitching. Happy weekend.
