I thought I had finished the punching for the fish...
well, according to the design I had. The more I looked at it, I thought it needed a background. So, I played around with some colors and then marked out the border and this is what I did...
Now I like it. Just the right blue to pop the fish and of course make it easier to finish it as it has a complete border. I am thinking of a box top..... at least this morning I am. I also decided to purchase a different needle so I bought Artiste which is a Hobby Lobby brand...very comfortable to work with. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with the Boye needle set, just wanted something else. Mr H and I are back to the count down for his surgery.... new date is June 17th. There will be a few things to organize...again and a couple of things to put on hold....again. The "go with me" stitching bag has to be re-packed. In a way it may have worked out better with the cancellation. We are currently in a Heat Advisory here in The Valley of the Sun Arizona. The temps are in the mid to high triple digits. The over night lows are around 80. It may have been a little uncomfortable with limited mobility and all. This is early for these temps...should be in the 90's. I already did the garden watering and checked the pond level so I hope to remain indoors with my iced water and stitching today. The heat is affecting some of the plants and as many are in pots, they will require watering twice daily. For now, Mr H has afternoon duty. I am glad you have stopped by to chat today....thank you so much for your friendship and kind words. Have a wonderful day.
