I hope it starts getting better soon.<BR/>Your veggies are prety spectacular. I would love to grow a bit in our garden, which is a bit small, but just a few courgettes and pumpkins would make me happy... :o)<BR/>As for 'over one' stitching, it's not difficult at all. Good LIGHT is the #1 thing you need!! Daylight works best for me.

What a mess.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on your opinion of the Super Bowl. We won't be home from evening church service until 8:00 or 8:30, so I'll retire to the bedroom and my stitching (and cable TV) when we get home, as my husband and younger daughter will probably catch whatever is left of the game.<BR/><BR/>As for stitching over one, I did my first two projects in December - Christmas ornaments - and they were a challenge to my late 40's eyes. I did not like stitching over one on linen as the floss had a tendency to slip under the adjining vertical thread. Be sure not to pull too hard if you use linen, or simply choose Aida instead. The look is unsurpassed, however.<BR/><BR/>Happy stitching!Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920963862516551109noreply@blogger.com
