Mooo

Today I got out my cross-stitch sampler and decided to add a cow. I finished the bunnies first and then used the white to start the patches on the cow. Then I made the udders and nose in pink. I'm a long way from done but my eyes can only handle so much of that in one day. I find the animals are easier to do if they have a line to stand on, so I added some green checkerboard grass.

Yesterday I did some flowers in the corner. Not sure if they are lilacs or bellflowers but they are purple and white. And I started doing a maroon 'X'. The sampler will have the alphabet on it.

Organizing Embroidery Floss

This morning I made a concentrated effort to organize all my embroidery thread. But the plastic binder pages I bought have squares just big enough for each bobbin, but when I move the book, the bobbins spring out of the sleeves. Definitely not a good design. So I think I'm going to have to tape each square shut or risk losing pieces everytime I move the binder. Not good. Did they even test this thing out before they sold it?

I've had family visiting so haven't gotten to work on my cross-stitch much. But last night I got the colors I was missing for the rabbits and to finish the red chicken. Go chickens!
