THIRD TIME'S A CHARM?




Good morning everyone!

We are awaiting a Nor'easter here....expected to get lots of snow this afternoon/evening....

I have a pot of soup in my slow cooker, buns waiting to be served with it, and a Dutch Apple Pie out of the oven........and my stitching.....
I've restarted this 3 times...(thus the post title).....Lizzie Kate's Flip it Bits......this time is the charm...I hope!! Throughout the course of the last year, my long time online friend sent me the entire year of these Flip it's....and all the sampler threads to do them! I am really looking forward to actually finishing these and hopefully once I get moving it won't be a long process....

First time I started them, I started on a light blue (what was I thinking!?!) fabric, stitching over one (I am not a big "over one" kind of stitcher).....that went by the wayside...then I restarted...this time on 32 count fabric...but it was too light and the colours were getting washed out....so.....back to fabric diving in my bin....and I found a perfect colour! This is 28 count, which I was hoping not to go with, but hey, if it works and it's in my fabric stash.....so be it.....


I'm pleased with the results so far...and I hope to get a lot done this afternoon on it...


Take care everyone...have a great day...and if you are in a snowy area...stay warm and safe!
