I started this on Monday night, only stitched a little bit the last 2 nights and this is my progress so far. Below these words will be 3 little chicks coming out of their eggshells.
I actually feel guilty for stitching this, since I should be stitching my Charity ones that are late... but I need the extra push to get me going. The Looney Tune Foghorn Leghorn was driving me nuts and so every time I went to stitch I just didn't.. I got everything out, put the TV on, stitched a stitch or two and that was it!! It just sat in my lap till I put it away. I just couldn't will myself to stitch on it! There are a lot of color changes in the Target around his head.... and the fabric I choose is just too soft and the stitches just look all wrong to me.
I'm used to stitching on Charles Craft and I'm never satisfied with anything else I guess. I choose this fabric because it was all I could afford. I went to Wal-mart to get 2 small packs of white fabric and they didn't have the Charles Craft packs ... they only had the tubes which were more money and there would be a lot of wasted fabric that just wasn't big enough to stitch anything else on... But they had these small packs that are Wal-mart brand and were only .99 I guess I should have gotten the 2 bigger ones and spent the extra money :(
Anyway, This pattern you see here is called Spring is Peeping Out and is by San Man Originals. I thought it was just too cute and looked easy so I know it will give me that push I need to want to stitch again... so now I'll try and stitch on the Looney Tune again this weekend :)
