So I had another finish yesterday:
Start date February 18, 2010
Finish date March 04, 2010
Total time 42.5 hours
Fabric 28ct antique white Jubilee
If your reaction is "I don't remember seeing pictures of this..." you're right. This is the first I've mentioned it. And I really can't think of any excuse.
Post Valentine, I was surfing and came across this couple by Soda. And there are books! And they're reading. (OK, he is and she's been bored to sleep) I had to!
Getting the fabric was an investigation worthy of Poirot himself! I wanted it on the same fabric as the last one and I thought it was lugana. It wasn't. After begging my LNS to help me, and getting some looks of pity we figured out it's Jubilee.
I've decided that I like Jubilee. Sadly it doesn't come in 32 ct, which is what I use most. Oh well. 32ct shall remain Lugana, or the occasional Jobelan.
A before backstitch picture:
I like Soda patterns because even though the colour changes aren't at all gradual, the finish looks adorable and cartoony.
As for the topic: I'm sick. Horribly, horribly sick. I've been hacking up a lung and sneezing my way through boxes of Kleenex. Not fun :(
Hasn't stopped me from stitching Cirque des Cercles, but I'm sure that it's now a bioweapon.
In nicer news, the weather is heading into the positives next week! Well, there will be slush, but I'm trying to focus on the positive.

That's a really cute design.
That's an adorable piece. Looks like you can buy and download directly from that site, but I couldn't figure out how. Anyway, this is a cutie.
Hope you can rest up and feel better for the weekend.
Lovely finish.
Feel better soon
You poor thing! I'm feeling a little bit of your pain - I've got some allergy thing going and it's revolting. lol
Love the Soda!!! That is so awesome, the style is fantastic.
Hello...and thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my blog.

hope you feel better...i was in the same situation last 2 weeks...just passed it to my DH now...
How cute is that!! I've never seen that pattern before...
Hope your cold passes quickly--seems like the whole world has a cold right now!
I just love these Soda patterns! It looks great Blu!
Very cool finish.

That is really cute Blu! Sorry you are feeling poorly, hope you are better soon.
That is so sweet! I've never heard of her patterns before. Congrats on the finish :o)
Hopefully you will feel better soon!
Nice finish, the backstitch really makes it pop. Hope you feel better soon - my DH is full of cold and has been going through boxes of tissues too!
Very nice! It looks so different after the backstitch! I hope you will getting well soon! :)
I also like it without the backstitch, too, lol! Reminds me of a watercolour! Gosh, I really like these even though I normally *hate* cutesy stuff. Well...no. I DO like cute things; I think I'm just picky--or that's what Dear Marc always says! ;D
I love all the patterns I have ever seen of people reading! This is a new one to me and I love it too. You did a great job.
Too cute! What a difference the back stitching makes.
Congrats on your finish.
I hope you will feel better soon.
What a cute finish, congratulations!
That is such a lovely finish.
Hope you feel much better by now.
What a super cute finish :) Hope you are feeling better soon!
Oh what a wonderful stitch. I have never seen this work before so it is something new.
I hope that you are feeling better soon and can put that Kleenex box away.
That's cute! I've never seen that designer before. Hope you're feeling better soon!
Cute finish! Hope you feel better soon - I had a bad cold last week (during a heat wave!), but fortunately I wasn't that much of a biohazard :)
Glad to hear your weather is heading upwards - I can't wait for our winter on this side!
Great finish... very cute!
I myself have gone through at least a few boxes of tissues in the past few weeks. Finally went to dr yesturday, so hopefully meds will work.
BTW, thanks for commenting on my finish
Feel better soon! This season has been the worst for us too! This is a cute finish!!
Your work is really cute =) I'm a Soda fan too :)
Hope you get well soon!!
Lovely finish! I've never seen those patterns before, and will definitely have to check them out!
Hope you feel better soon. I'm in the same boat as you, but not so much kleenex (yet) the coughing and feeling horrible yes...
This is a really cute finish! I've not heard of the designer before either. Thanks for the introduction.
Hope you're feeling much better soon. There is nothing like a good old head cold to make a girl miserable.
Just happened on your blog. I love the whimsy of the finish. Very clever to photo before the backstitching. I've always loved the backstitch part since it makes everything POP!
