May IHSW: Three Squares

Hey Blog Buddies,

The May International Hermit and Stitch Weekend has come and gone and I am happy to say that I stitched three squares in my Rainforest Revisited project (my goal was at least two):

This square is a bit on the dark side

and not too contrasty--

not one of my favorites, I must admit.

(It's actually a bit brighter in this photo than in real life.)

It also took me quite awhile to stitch

because there were a lot of

over-one and over-two stitches.

This is a really fun design--

although the color in the photo is off.

What appears to be beige is a lot more gold IRL.

And the pinks are a bit more orange.

This little cutie stitched up really quickly

because a lot of it was over four.

One more square

and I'll be at the halfway point

in the project!

It was quite crazy in Chicago yesterday,

and today promises to be more of the same.

Needless to say, we didn't go into the city

let alone anywhere near the Loop or McCormick Place!

It was a really good weekend

to hermit and stitch!!

Hope your weekend setting

was a bit more serene.

Thanks for visiting!

And thanks for all of your kind comments, too!
