Apparently I told a wee fib when I said the next page would be mostly tail. Oops, just the tiniest of peek-a-boo tail for this update, but a whole lot of water and bubbles! Lets just take a moment to appreciate the bubbles, shall we? Mmmmm. Bubbles.
I must apologize for the quality of the photo, too. I used to lay her out on my couch and smooth her down to take a photo, but with this addition, it no longer fits on the couch, with the good light, so I had to place her on the floor and try my best to smooth her out, which, as you can see, wasn't so successful. I'll have to come up with another plan for the next update, because THAT, my kindreds, WILL be mostly tail.
I also want to share with you that I found a lovely carpenter who has agreed to make me a floss cabinet! I'm so excited! It's not as expensive as I was expecting a custom piece to be, but my biggest must have was to have a slot where I can slide my bobbins in to where they will stand without having to lean on the bobbin in front or behind. I'm sure I'm not alone in the OCD department when I say that taking bobbins out of my box for a project and having the left overs fall over and end up out of order, drives me crazy. This will eliminate that AND give me quick at-a-glance look at what bobbins are out for projects.
He's got a few projects that he's got to do first before starting on mine, but I will, of course
I will post pictures as soon as I have this lovely in my grasp.
Adrift is looking great. Keep going!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing the cabinet when you get it.
Thanks! I've actually just past the 75% mark, so I'm definitely in the final stages of the project!
DeleteI'll post a photo of the cabinet the minute I get my hot little hands on it.
Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mii. The next page should have a bit more to look at.
DeleteBeautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather!
DeleteBeautiful, I do love watching your work on this, lovely bubbles
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, the bubbles were plentiful! LOL
DeleteIt's really all I had to show for this page.
Thank you for your lovely comment.
What a gorgeous piece! The bubbles are amazing - as are all the details. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee! I always appreciate someone who appreciates bubbles! They may not be as sexy as a tail, but they serve their purpose!
DeleteI actually did stop and admire and appreciate the bubbles. My thought was Rai Rai has the patience of Gods. At least you get to enjoy some nice reds doing the tail next. It looks amazing. Great work RR.

You're a good friend! I actually don't mind doing the bubbles. They are relatively easy in the world of HaED's. Just not as exciting as the tail, which I am about to start tonight!!
DeleteP.S. I can't wait to see your new bobbin box too. It sounds very cool!!!

I CAN'T WAIT!
DeleteBecause of you I am planning on starting Adrift too!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really looks better in cross stitch than in the presenting page, but I have to resist, too many things to finish first :(((
Oooh, are you going to do the full size or the mini? Promise me you'll post lots of updates when you do start her!
