Also, right now you're looking at it a small scale and it's hard to see the big picture. I think using 1 strand is going to give the lighter shades a nice lacey effect.<br /><br />Ooooh, what an awesome package!!!!!!!

Hopefully, you can be with your family next year in Prince George--it does sound like you have some wonderful traditions.<br /><br />My Grandmother's birthday was on the 25th and all I remember was her piles of gifts for both her birthday and Christmas. She would sit there like a queen on Christmas Eve carefully opening each one! <br /><br />Sure hope that darn neck and back pain dissipates quickly--that must be a terrible inconvenience.<br /><br />Titus is so sweet--how I miss having a kitty around the house!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740614756036914018.post-80325922279132603612012-01-08T07:30:59.302-08:002012-01-08T07:30:59.302-08:00Happy Christmas, Anne, and Happy Belated Birthday....Happy Christmas, Anne, and Happy Belated Birthday.

I can totally sympathize!I hope you feel better soon! <br /><br />As to Jane, I don't have the chart so I can't see what was intended (eg whether flowers s/b light). For me, personally, I would want a brighter colour. However, like Siobhan said - whatever makes you feel more comfortable - do it now! It's a BAP and you sure don't want to be uncomfortable and/or changing colours later on! <br /><br />Enjoy your celebrations this weekend!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073567534248514127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740614756036914018.post-5964505506600723602012-01-07T07:55:01.203-08:002012-01-07T07:55:01.203-08:00Have a wonderful Christmas celebration.

I am sure your will be just fine.<br />Sorry to hear about your injuries. I am just now getting back to reading blogs.

LOL I am loving that tradition!! We went to Mass yesterday morning. As for December 25 birthdays--my brother was born on Dec 25 and decided that he is Jewish. I know it's what he believes in his heart (that plus his wife is Jewish) but I always thought it was ironic. Anyway--Happy Christmas!<br /><br />It sounds like you had a wonderful birthday with lots of nice gifts!<br /><br />On the sampler... if you are having misgivings now, I would go with whatever you think might be better. I say that because I have a few projects that I started, didn't like the coverage, and kept going--but don't like working on them because I'm not happy with how they look. Jane is a BAP and if it were me, I'd want to use what I thought would keep me working on her. Just my humble $.02! I think it looks good, though! I'm okay with one strand of silk on 36 ct, it's one strand of DMC on 36 ct that starts bothering me with the coverage. I know others like it--it's just me--I use a fairly tight tension.Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740614756036914018.post-13387104198972172342012-01-07T01:24:29.336-08:002012-01-07T01:24:29.336-08:00Merry Christmas to you Anne!

From the photo it does not seem to be bad choice, but if you feel it is not nice enough for you, it is better to frog now than later...Especially with a BAP it is important that you like the whole piece, otherwise you will loose your mojo! And in case the floss is not enough, you can buy some later, maybe it will done for 36 ct as well.Agihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171361068608118764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740614756036914018.post-4655988887748390892012-01-07T01:10:43.714-08:002012-01-07T01:10:43.714-08:00merry christmas deary,..what a sweet yummy drink.....merry christmas deary,..what a sweet yummy drink..my mouth is watering :)<br />happy belated birthday..big hugs for you..<br />very beautiful gift you received..<br />happy stitching with your new start..<br />hugs cucki xcuckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650071456271781518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740614756036914018.post-5139203754374226922012-01-07T00:57:01.905-08:002012-01-07T00:57:01.905-08:00Merry Christmas.

Jane Philpott ...Wishing you a wonderful Christmas. <br />Jane Philpott is a wonderful sampler. Love that one. If I'm not mistaken, the sampler was meant to be stitched on Homeshpn? Which is also a rather light color. I think it is meant to look like that. It's hard to say from a picture. <br />Personally I would go on and if there were parts in the end I wasn't happy with, I would backstitch that. I'm rather simple when it comes to that...lolGabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258331709151408806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740614756036914018.post-74536529740065030542012-01-06T16:33:09.949-08:002012-01-06T16:33:09.949-08:00I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas celebra...I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas celebration.

It's sort of hard to tell how hard it is to see the colors. The flower looks fine. Those little branch offs might get lost, but hard to tell at this point. Is it super hard to see when you're stitching it? It might totally blend in if that's the case. If you can see it pretty easily while stitching, it might be just fine. <br /><br />Titus is adorable! Lucky for me, Mia learned early on not to bother my linens or threads. Hopefully she'll stay that way. :D<br /><br />Sounds like you had a nice birthday too!
