Home sweet home on the Schoodic Peninsula for a few days.
This is the pile I woke up to this morning....I haven't played with colorful fabric and fibers in a while so this was going to be a nice change of pace.
Jane and Patsy are both working on cross stitch projects...and my main goal was to finally finish this polka dotted lampshade I started last winter. If you want to know the back story...you can read it here: https://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2023/02/lindas-lamp.html. At the time I had to stop because the stitching was hard on my hands...and it's been an UFP (unfinished project) ever since. I thought it was the perfect stitching project to bring with me.
So I got back at it after we settled in thinking I would do one of the last three panels each day I was here. When I finished the first panel last evening....I rolled right into twisting fabric cording....not a good idea. It wasn't long before I injured my right thumb.
So I'm one thumb down....and most of what I brought requires two thumbs...especially my right thumb. So I'm being creative with the few other things I brought with me while my thumb heals.
Schoodic Peninsula—lucky you! Dave and I vacationed there two Junes ago. Are you in a rental?
ReplyDeleteOh no, so sorry to hear about your thumb. Here's to speedy recovery while you turn your creative energy in a different direction.
Yes...lucky me. My friend Patsy and her husband own 40 acres on a point. I've been coming here for years.
DeleteI'm coming up with enough to do....all is well.
Well, darn it! Hope it isn't a lingering injury. Enjoy your friends and the view.
