This evening DH and I were looking at some photos with Gman from his trip last year in school. He was showing us when he went to Paris and London. What a blessing he went when he did, this spring group had to come home early and I doubt they did much traveling the short time they were there.
Slow and steady, not much longer now. Then I just have to add the words and figure out how I'm finishing it. I think a frame will work the best for it.
Your doing very well with your blackwork stitches. I wish I had Mom's recipe for homemade donuts when we were kids. But, my favorite is a French Cruller.
ReplyDeleteIs this an anniversary piece you are creating Astrid?
ReplyDeleteBlackwork is so elegant, its pretty.
ReplyDeleteNot really a donut fan.
Your blackwork is coming along nicely and I think a frame is the perfect solution. My favorite donuts are Krispy Kreme's Chocolate Iced Custard Filled and chocolate iced cake donuts. Unfortunately, I haven't had either in forever.
ReplyDeleteThe blackwork is coming along very nicely. One Heart for each of your wonder men? My daughter went out in the morning for a dozen of Dunkin Donuts. I am not a big donut lover but I do love a crueler or glazed donut; though I think Chewie has good taste with his donut!
ReplyDeleteNice progress Astrid. But, where were you stitching?

Slow and steady will get you to a finish soon. I'm especially waiting to see the words.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, donuts! Got to be the jam filled ones for me! :)
Astrid, you have made wonderful progress, the more you stitch the prettier it gets.
ReplyDeleteChewie is so cute with his donut.

Your stitching is looking great - are you happier with it now? As for donut choice - Dutchie all the way for me.
ReplyDeleteChewie is adorable, your stitching is looking great.
ReplyDeleteEven though I got to the posts late, you have made me hungry for a donut! I should have read this earlier! Your hearts are looking so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat blackwork is gorgeous and Chewie is so cute! I love a jam filled donut, although I used to be partial to a custard filled donut when I was younger! x
ReplyDeleteThe blackwork is looking great. Love the colours you chose.
ReplyDeleteI recognise those red phone boxes too!
My favourite doughnuts were the hot ones we used to get from the funfair when we were kids. I liked watching the machine drop them in the hot fat and then the sugar. They were a real once a year treat for us.
Beautiful progress. I love blackwork. I like bavarian cream filled donuts.
