Hardanger: Starting to fill in those little kloster diamonds


I got up way too early this morning and I now feel sluggish and it is only 6:25. This heat (heat index today will be between 100 and 110°F) is turning my life upside down. I just don't do well in that kind of weather. These last few days, I saw myself wake up around 3:30, 4:00 in the morning and been thinking that I might as well get up and get going on some of my projects. That seems to have worked for the previous days, but today I really feel tired and I am afraid that I will be dragging my feet all day long. I don't expect that I will be doing much stitching at all, so will probably be concentrating on getting myself organized instead.
.
Yesterday, I went through lots and lots of projects piled up here and there in order to decide which ones I want to do now, which ones I will probably want to do later and those that I am not so sure right now, well you get the idea. Then I thought since I had all of them in my hands, I might as well start that list of projects that I have been wanting to do forever, so started that as it just felt like the logical thing to do. I decided that I was going to write the name of the project, the name of the designer, origin, stitching technique and whether I have completed it or not.
.
Since I am feeling like crap today, I am thinking that I should work on my blog and add a few additional labels to make things easier to locate stuff. I also need to check my supplies for those new projects and order whatever I need for them. All these things should keep me pretty busy today. At least I will have the feeling that I am accomplishing things even if I am not stitching.
.
Since the last photo taken what seems to me ages ago, I have added a new one of More Options .... in Hardanger, a Dale Sokolow design. Two small Kloster Diamonds have been filled out of 8 leaving 6 more to fill in and then of course the 6 bigger ones. For previous posts on this hardanger project as well as others of the same technique, you may want to follow this link.

Hoping that most of you will have a nice cool day with a gentle breeze :-)

Very Pretty and I had forgotten about this one as I thought you had finished it yonks ago, not sure if I have the colour correct or if its my monitor but it looks to be in lovely different shades of coffee with and without milk with a little grey on a toasted almond fabric, I might have got the colours wrong but they sound tasty

Terry,

I can understand you forgetting about it as it has been a while.

The colors are actually Plum Blossom for the fabric and Gobi Sand and pink for the threads :-)

I had forgotten this one too, and I love Hardanger too, so I will look forward to seeing this one back in the progress views.

Hi Pat,

I agree it has been put aside way way too long. I need to work on it until I finish it.
