In a nutshell: A little of this, a little of that, and a lot of cross stitching.
- Did the laundry and a few chores.
- Finished reading White Trash Zombie Unchained.
- Worked on the latest hat for an hour.
- Didn't touch the shawl or the needlepoint piece.
- Pressed the Peek a Boo cross stitch insert, added the button, and put the pillow together. I declare it Done!
- Choose the next small cross stitch piece to start and pressed its fabric.
- Cut out a couple of squares for the Attic Windows quilt.
- Took my new camera for a walk on Sunday. I did my normal 2-mile loop and tested the features of the camera. It became quickly apparent that I have to change my behavior when taking macro photos. With the point-and-shoot camera, I get very close to the subject and take the photo. With the new camera, it won't take photos at all if I'm too close. I need to learn how far back to stand to get the photo I want.
I took about 200 photos . Because I was testing various settings, there were a lot that didn't turn out. I threw away a lot of failed photos, but that's the beauty of digital, right? - I finally finished the first page of the Mermaid of the Pearls pattern. It's the largest of the two pages (of course). I got tired of stitching the never-ending foam on this piece, so I switched back over to her tail. As with the first page, I'm doing all of the floss stitches first before attacking the metallic stitches.
