Am I Clever or What?

I used to cross stitch all the time.  Then I quilted all the time.  Then I baked all the time.  Then I made cards all the time.  What goes around comes around, right?

So, now I am cross stitching again.

I am working on a chart of St. Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square in New Orleans, Louisiana.  I bought the chart at a cute little needlework shop in the French Quarter.  I am enjoying working on it except for the thread deficit which has been shipped now and will be here soon.  And, I decided to work it on Carolina linen Aida which is a speckled beige fabric.

This is where the clever part comes in and I am being sarcastic.

The fabric is beige.  The threads are various shades of beige, except for what is green.  It is 14 count which isn’t too bad but after just a few rows it has sort of all become beige.  Lots of beige.

I might go blind.

But it isn’t nearly as bad as stitching on black.

Anyway, here it is so far

It isn’t a big chart and I would have been done had I not run out of thread.  However, tomorrow I am going to work around the missing threads and continue with the beige.  I think it is going to be cute even if it is a bit.......beige.

Anyway, I will give an update as I progress.  I also found several unfinished projects that are going to give me grief — you know, must finish before I can start anything new.  I hate that about myself.  But, anyway, I hope to get this one done quickly so I can add it to my collection.
