The kids had a four day weekend, so we went down to Florida for a quick trip. I worked on Paradise Lost a little bit while down there. I was very glad to get the big tree on the right finished.
I'll probably work on the big tree in the middle now. Well, I'd better get back to my mountain of laundry! I cleaned before I left, but of course it's a disaster again. How does it happen so fast? :) Write soon!
Nicole, I am so glad to see you here! Wow I have missed you and was wondering if you caught the flu or something. Glad you are ok and your Paradise Lost is soooooo pretty. I am still waiting and waiting for SBB to get my thread to me. I called them and it shipped today. I got my Vintage Lt. Exemplar fabby on Friday so I am just dying to start on this. Watching yours is really fun and makes me want to start mine ASAP. Beautiful stitching!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress, Nicole! Looking at that tree, I'm thinking, well it looks doable, I hope! lol! The tree on the left is the one that got to me! I haven't tackled the one you did yet though. Nor the one in the middle. I love this piece though -- and I love that you're working from the other side from me so I can see what's ahead for me! :D Hope the laundry doesn't overwhelm you.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on this one Nicle!! Hope you enjoyed FL..we missed you at PALS~~~ See you soon!~ Faye

Hi! I'm sorry we weren't able to get together when you were down here this past weekend. My sons were here, and I didn't have a minute to leave the house. It was good to see them. I miss them so much. I'm off to see Jess the 2nd week of Nov. Can't wait! Your Paradise is really coming along...and you seem to be enjoying every minute with it. Is it the "Echo..." that you're listening to that helps??? :] Hope the boys have a great Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteSending hugs, Deb
Wow!!! This is gorgeous!!!! Those colors are so crisp!!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress Nicole. Every time I see Eve it brings to mind the B52's singing 'Love Shack'. Strange but true!

What fun to spend a little time in Florida - I'm sure your boys were thrilled!
ReplyDeleteWhat great progress you have made on Paradise Lost - it is just beautiful! This seems to be the most popular piece from Market - it keeps popping up on various blogs.
Love it Nicole! I'm still waiting for my threads and fabric but in the meantime blog hopping to see everyone's progress! I do love the lions! Glad you are home safe from your trip! Enjoy your laundry, or not!

ReplyDeleteSo incredible! Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteNicole - I LOVE this piece and think a trip up to my not-so LNS is in order to get it and start stitching it. It's been a long time since I've seen anything that really got me excited to stitch.
ReplyDeleteI have missed your blog. Paradise Lost looks so wonderful!! I am hoping to start mine tonight. As soon as I finish Midnight Watch, I will putting the first stitch into this. I can't wait. :) Yours looks really, really beautiful! And you have made so much progress so quickly. You have the fastest needles! :) Hope you had fun in Florida. Glad to see you back blogging. Have a good weekend!!
