I don’t see how that can do that j on a large canvas. All you can do is concentrate on an area or color.

Wow, that is a true labour of love. The Internet is a great tool but my piano and guitar playing have suffered terribly.
Working on different colours as suit my mood makes total sense to me
I am persistent lol! It was an expensive outlay for the hand painted original canvas and specialty threads. The woman who owns the shop who painted it is a real eccentric nut job but extremely talented and a great artist. I had a patient who used to work for her until she couldn’t take it anymore. The body odor and bad breadth didn’t help lol! Bad temper too!
I try not to beat myself up over unfinished objects that have fallen out of favour. But I do have a rule of only 2 concurrent projects and maybe ONE large/long term project at a time. So right now I'm only working on a skirt, which I only started after I finished my armwarmers. But now I don't like the finished armwarmers, so I will frog them and start over.
One school of thought is to continue and finish a project even if you've discovered a better technique/layout/idea, or are not completely thrilled with the WIP. I tried that, and ended up not loving the FO, so now I will patiently rip it back and start over to end up with a piece closer to my vision.
Because the last time I powered through on something I felt lukewarm over, it sat around a week before I ripped it back completely and started from Stitch One and am now very happy with the FO.
*I may be a bit obsessed

@Cordeliere Wishing you all the best and that the insurance company will reverse their decision. Keep your spirits up! When you feel down, remind yourself that this difficult time as hard as it is will pass. Hugs to you.
@Cookiefiend Lovely outfit and I also like the colors you're wearing.

Dear Corde! Would you be interested in playing any jigsaw puzzles? Especially scenery or fashion related ones? Amazon has lots.
It’s no longer raining this morning. We need the water in the west coast. At least we got two days of rain.
Now let’s go out for a stroll and check out Anthropology. Their Spring release is here. I used to love their clothes when I had a tiny waist(that’s before the two little ones were born.).
Here is a quick shot of my what I carry today.
Enjoy the weekend dear TPFers![emoji257][emoji324]

Yes we needed the rain and we were lucky in the south that it was not a downpour. Love your ostrich!
Just popping in to say that the color of your bag is breathtaking!!!!
I have never posted on this thread before, but thought I would start now. I also love Anthropologie, even though many times I don't find anything flattering. Most of the flowing/billowy tops I admire on the hanger end up looking like maternity tops on me, tbh. I am often happy just walking through the store, as everything is laid out beautifully and the candles smell wonderful. A lovely experience. I shopped there last week and did find a few things to bring home. I am wearing one piece today. Here is my Cecilia Prado kimono.

So good to hear from you Cremel! Your birdie is beautiful and I'm glad you found a break in the rain to bring her out.

Your kimono is lovely and looks so comfortable as well. I agree about anthropologie, very billowy clothing, I think because it is aimed at 20-somethings who look good in everything. I actually purchased some anthropologie tops when I was pregnant a few years back because I planned to use them as maternity clothing. I ended up realizing that once I got big enough to wear these things that fitted clothing actually looked better, loose fitting tops just made me look huge.
