Gentle Art Sampler Threads Conversion to Weeks Dye Works

How-do-you-do Friends & Folk!

and a happy Spring almost - April Sunday to you lot all ~

Yesterday I spent hours charting new designs into my calculator software program...

only to take them mysteriously change symbols and colors

when I tried to preview or export the files to PDF.

FRUSTRATING is not even the word to depict how I felt,

and then I tried to contact the Ursasoftware Co. to get help...still haven't heard dorsum from them ~

So I chosen Apple and got the sweetest lady to aid me...not that she was familiar with the software programme I use for designing cross stitch, just ~ she is a cantankerous stitcher!

... between her helping me with corrupt files and technical-computer-stuff, we chatted nearly stitching ~ she told me that years ago she even cross stitched a cover for her family bible!

isn't it prissy to connect with other lovers of needlework?

After recovering only 2 of my many charted files,

I needed a serious break ~ a Nature Diversion...

and then I grabbed my camera and went for a walkabout in the farmyard...

Boy it has been 'greening' nicely with the warmer temps and sunshine...

our sleeping blossom friends are waking up!

wild hyacinth and tete d' tete daffodils

aren't the leaves of my snowball bush gorgeous?

honey that orange-y center ~

my favorite tiny bloom has always been violets...

uh oh!

looks like 'someone' tasted the leaves on this daffy:

aren't they cute....

even our catnip is growing!

Minew and the 'kittens' have already been munching on this :)

after my walk, I still couldn't bring myself to get back on the computer

so I did what I love ~

played with threads and fabrics to get back to my Stitching....

I rooted through some of my linens and have chosen the following

for 3 new upcoming designs for Summer:

left to right they are:

30ct Weeks Dye Works 'Straw'  ~  35ct Weeks Dye Works 'Cornsilk'

and 28ct Picture This Plus 'Wren'

don't you LOVE them?

♥

This project, below ~ is an upcoming Hallowe'en design for 2019:

was started a couple of months agone...then put aside.

it is existence worked on 32ct Weeks Dye Works 'Parchment'

with Gentle Fine art & Weeks Dye Works threads ~

love her little face & feet ~ & oh those colors!

I am keeping this work in progress in my favorite 'Witchy' projection bag from Lela Mae Designs ~

hither is the link to their Facebook folio:

I purchased this bag at concluding year'southward PSS Retreat in Lancaster PA

from the Lela Mae booth...of course it had to come up home with me ~

it has my sweet friend Lisa Roswell'due south {the Primitive Needle} "Witchy" design sewn into information technology...

information technology is perfect and beautifully constructed ~

beloved the fabric choice the girls made for not only the outside,...

just the within lining too!

and the zipper-pull is this tiny arachnid-friend

🕸🕷🕸

While playing in my Threads ~ I came across 2 conversion charts that I had,

so I copied them and pasted them for you lot!

~

experience costless to relieve them to your computer,

and then you can print them out and go along them in your project bag ~
