Thanks to Mel again for the Lugana
In non stitchy news, we bought a set of twin beds for the daughters. They' weren't terribly expensive and the Hello Kitty bedding for Adele was a birthday present from Grandma.

And now I understand why HAEDs take so long...
I decided to start my HAED yesterday. I got about 98 stitches stitched (the missing 2 were a different color. This piece is 400x500 stitches. I did the math and if I stitch one 10x10 block per day, it would take me about 5 and a half years to finish. I'm stitching one over one on 25 ct with one strand of floss. A bit small but my eyesight is still excellent so it didn't give me too much trouble.

DeleteNice start on your HAED. Maybe if you do 2 squares per day you'll finish in about 3 years instead!
ReplyDeleteWith two toddlers and upcoming grad school? Ha!
DeleteWishful thinking though.
They do take forever, but they are so beautiful, it's really hard to put them down! Maybe you'll have days where you'll stitch more than one block!
