Hey there! August is almost over and autumn or spring are right around the corner. How has your week been? Did you get much stitching done? Did you start a new project?

Bit of a crap photo, I've got a cold and have no energy to actually move or set up a nice view of it, or in fact to even tighten the fabric in the hoop. But I'm working on a little sunset pattern design that is supposed to go live on Friday and now on Wednesday I'm testing different colours because of course I am. Thankfully it's going to be a quick stitch, but still. Holy last-minute-itis.

What count fabric is your greenhouse on? I keep meaning to ask but get distracted. Also have you given any thought to how you'll finish it? It's such a cool piece, definitely needs to be displayed with pride!

Oh no! Colds are the worst! I hope you feel better soon. The sunset has some Outrun aesthetic vibes. I really like it!

I meant to get 18 count but 16 was what they had in stock with the colour I liked so 16 it is. I'm glad I picked it because it feels so nice to work with, the grid also helped me immensely. As for finishing, I think I'll go with an ornate Victorian-style frame. It really depends on what I find and how much they're going to charge me. My local store works frames for dirt cheap so they're the first place to ask.

I think in these times of rarely catching anything I'd forgot just how rotten a basic cold can make you feel ๐Ÿ˜ญ Well on the mend now though, it was worth it to spend my bestie's bday weekend with her!

Love the sound of that frame plan, dirt cheap is my kind of price.

I hope you feel better soon! I love this new piece! The colors remind me of the Lite Brite I had as a kid lol
