First Issue!


Hooray, I'll be taking part in my first IHSW! I tend to pronounce acronyms out instead of saying the letters so IHSW has been dubbed "issue". Yes, I know I'm weird. Thank you. I look forward to making the time to sit down and actually, possibly finish stitching FFVIII. I'm so close but I've been rather busy this week stripping old and poorly installed caulk from a tub. Very unfun. Yesterday I smelled like some awful combination of Goo Gone, rubbing alcohol, and caulk, yuck!

Goals for IHSW:
  1. Frog those inappropriate letters 
  2. Restitch those letters appropriately 
  3. Adjust fabric on stand and finish the last little bit of Rinoa's swoop  Adjustment wasn't necessary!
  4. Practice clipped velvet stitches to see if I like them enough to give Squall a fuzzy jacket poof. Currently vetoed though they did look cool. Just not sure if they were fitting with the piece as a whole.
  5. Finish?! :D :D :D
We'll see how much I actually accomplish. If I defy all odds and actually complete it with time to spare, I'll work on the Dolphin Trio. It has been a WIP for far, far too long.

楽しみにしてる!

  1. Those are great goals, hopefully you can accomplish them this weekend. I can't add myself to your blog because you don't have a followers button! When you go to "Design" in your dashboard, you can click on Add gadget, find the followers gadget and it will automatically add itself to your blog. Hope that helps!!

    Sorry about that; I'm still new to blogger so I haven't quite got everything figured out yet, apparently! I just assumed everyone used the navbar at the top of the page to follow blogs. I've added the followers gadget now. :)

Thanks so much for leaving a comment! I am quite slow at stitching and your kind words are all a wonderful source of encouragement~ :D

I do reply (eventually) via email. If you are a no-reply commenter, I will leave my reply directly on your blog comment! ♥
