That G is Totally Lovely!!

Worried about going insane I think. I'm a little disappointed in H- the pattern makes it appear to be white, purple and pink. All the floss I pulled is pink. Cotten Candy Pink. I hate pink. BUT I SHALL PERSEVERE!

H in a word: HELLCONFETTI.

(okay two words).
G looks perfectly fine to me also. Worrying about how your stitching looks seems normal to me or insanity is the normal state for stitchers. Not sure which it is. And I'm also pretty sure that H will be very pretty. It has to be hard to do a floral pattern and not have a lot of pink. Looking forward to seeing "H".

Your letter "G" turned out quite nicely. I love, love, love your work space. I've been thinking of something similar when I redo my office/craft room this spring. I'd love a corner unit. However, I'm going for a "beach-y" look, so I'm thinking a white or distressed white desk. Either way, I am really jealous of your work space.

Thank you for sharing your update! :D

I picked it up at Office Depot on Evergreen Way/SE Everett Mall Way. This was my Christmas present last year (2014). I really wanted a real wood desk. And let me tell you, this thing weighs a ton. I think we almost dropped the hutch getting it up on top of the desk. They honestly didn't have a lot variation.

It's cheaper than when I bought it now. Just fair warning, very heavy and self-assembly. I did not buy the little side filing cabinet that's part of the collection. I love everything about it. The hutch doors will lock into an open position so you can root around in there (right hand side is 100% full of nail polish and supplies). and the small spaces under are perfect for stashing flat notebooks, sketchpads, graph paper... etc.

And yes Carole, pink is very prevalent. Good thing this blanket's for a little girl!

Okay I hate double posting, but I finished H in two days! Hell-fetti is done! Onto the letter I, which is a singular rose.

Belatedly, I have also realized G is not quite centered. Oh well!

Aren't they so pretty, just like a flower garden. Well Done on getting "G" finished, and I love that bundle of threads, all those gorgeous colours. :lol:

Has anyone asked if you're prophetic? Because you're right. I is a single rose that if I could I'd preview a finished one to you- unfortunately all I have are the patterns to go by and that's a no-no to share the pattern here. After I finished H last night, I got an entire color done in 10 minutes on I's stem.

Thanks for the heads up on your desk from Office Depot. I bought my last office chair (which I love) from the Office Depot in Lynnwood right near the Joann's. I've also been looking at Wayfair. I'm hoping to get my room remodeled sometime in late March or April.

Your "H" looks great now that it's all done. That blanket is quite the masterpiece.

Oh, I would also like to point out, that if you change your mind and get a dark wood desk like mine, I notice that when I dust it with Pledge, sometimes a pink/red stain comes off on my paper towel.

And than you all! Here's the letter I~!

:applesauce: :applesauce: "I" is stunning!! (put the I in quotes because that is a weird sentence, isn't it?). That may be the prettiest letter so far. I love the colors of this one and there is a real elegance about it.
