TUSAL - post 1


Just a quick post ... and back to revision. I now realise that the trick to good collection of ORTs are the kits (including the free card kits that come with magazines) and the source of frustration. When I stitch I cut the thread a lot longer than in the pre-packed stash, so hence when I work on those projects less ORTs and less frustration with constant needle threading.


Thought to show off my plant before it completely dies, along with a month's product of ORTs. With my empty easel behind it ... [sigh] ... will pick up painting again soon [I keep telling myself].

    I saw your comment on the LHN blog about finding an onlineshop for sending to the UK. You can write me an email. I have some addresses for you because I always buy in the states and I live in the Netherlands. My email address is in my profile.

    Hi Lija, I'm replying to your comment on my blog, since you have noreply-comment and I can't write back to you by email. The Lamplight Bridge is printed in color on the fabric and I stitch parts of it, like the outlines of the lamps and bridge, and lots of French knots for the flowers, and the grass and bushes. It is almost half done (the left side). I will try to take a better picture next time to show what is stitched and what is not. Thank you for visiting my blog!

      Thank you so much for getting back ... goes to show my technical ability with commenting. I know what you mean. I have stitched quite a few years ago a fairy on a printed aida. It was very effective ... and used a lot of different stitches. Including the loop/daisy ones ... haven't seen those in a while. Looking forward to the picture.

    Your orts look lovely as does your plant. Hope you get to paint soon.
