I only have a couple Xst projects not in storage currently, and stupidly I didn't grab one of the Long Dog Samplers to be one of them.
I love the TW Welcome I'm working on, I do, but stitching it doesn't provide the same level of relaxation and stress relief that the monotone samplers do. It's coming along well, I'm very pleased with it, and it will look lovely in the foyer, but....
After a day that starts at 5 a.m. waking the teens for school, doing a few household chores, running out the door to work 8:30-5:30, rushing home to cook or finish cooking dinner, cleaning up after dinner it would be nice to be able to totally relax and just stitch away in one color taxing my brain to merely count sts.
A friend on AOL suggested that since my new bedroom will be cream, burgundy and gold I should do a Long Dog in cream silk in burgundy linen. Is there a reasonably priced burgundy linen anywhere? I feel like I deserve to treat myself to silks at this point, I've been resisting the temptation for ages now. I haven't calculated how much silk I'd actually need for one of the Long Dogs....I'll probably want to faint when I do! lol
