The fricking cabin.
I started the cabin first since it's the largest block of stitches. Trying to convert the WDW to DMC took some time, finally found an up to date listing. And of course, had to change a few on this linen, but then revamped the chart. The second story windows did not align with the first, didn't like the door placement. OCD fixes were good, until I stitched them off one row, corrected incorrectly (yep, it's possible). Twice. Replaced a few logs. The charcoal thread looked odd in places, why ? .... because dark green strands were in the charcoal floss bag and very similar. Did not notice during stitching. Now an entire family of frogs lives in this cabin. I could have built a real cabin in the time taken to stitch this! Hmmm. Looking at this photo, there are three rows of light chinking instead of two. Dammit. What was distracting me since I knew it was two rows throughout? Need a minute to think .... is the rain stopping soon or can I set it to flame in the garage?
The new project bags are hanging everywhere, making me feel as if I'm in a shop. I can see the charts, making it very difficult to choose only one for my next stitch. Really. Browsing through a stack doesn't compare. They are on cabinets, lamps, in baskets, very distracting and I love it.
One more window to paint when the replacement sash comes in two weeks. First time painting white over taupe, three coats don't seem enough, but it is for me. Two brands, same coverage.
Hope everyone is OK.
Got a light?

You sure do have a lot of projects lined up!!!
Room looks great ;-)
Ha ha....you started my blog reading today with some chuckles. I, for one, think Frog Cabin is a very charming cabin indeed. And I rather like the thought of a bunch of little frogs residing in it. Love your projects on display. I wonder if that would satiate my need to continually add to my stash if I felt I were living in a shop surrounded by hand curated projects? Nah... Love the "new" space. ~Robin~
