OK, I decided. My next project will be from my WIP pile: "Tsunami Sampler" (design by Martina Dey of Stickideen von der Wiehenburg, published in "Sampler & Antique Needlework Quarterly"Fall 2007). This is what it looked like in February, 2008:

and here is is after two days of stitching:

It's on 28ct white linen, stitched with Hand-dyed Fibers silks, one over one. OK, Over one isn't fun, and my rough hands are playing havoc with the silk, but color on white is a picnic after that fish!

I blew off stitching ALL last week so if this progress picture doesn't look much further on that week Thirteen, it's not. With on Monday working on the white foam, it has filled in a little and I found the errors I had made last week, but otherwise...

What can I say? Three errors in counting: one off in each case --- all fudge-able but still frustrating. It's so hard to do those scattered stitches on black!

    Born in New Jersey, I grew up in Southeastern Ohio. Attended university at Bowling Green State University (B.Sci  in biological science, 1964), University of Southern California (M. Sci in biological science, 1967) and University of Florida (Ph. D in zoology, 1971).
    Worked in environmental consulting for a little more than a decade and then seven years as an instructor in biological science at various community colleges in California and Texas. Moved to London in 1992, then Beijing (1996) and Saudi Arabia (1998), before returning to NW Ohio in 2002. I am currently living in NW Ohio with my husband and three Bombay cats.  I love to read (mystery, science fiction, history) and stitch (have done crewel, currently experimenting with free embroidery and needlepoint but blackwork and cross stitch are my main genres); have been known to knit!
    Retired upon the return to the US so lots of time for our hobbies...
