May IHSW Completed

The weekend has come to a close, and I have taken the update pictures for the International Hermit & Stitch Weekend.  I will admit that I only stitched Friday night and most of Saturday because by Saturday night, I was starting to make a LOT of mistakes.  I really hate frogging, so I put the stitching to the side and focused on baking.  


As a reminder, to learn about IHSW, click here.  My Flip-Flops are coming along nicely! I really am enjoying this project.  I was disappointed to learn that I reversed the sand colors on my pattern when I strung my floss, so rather than a light sand with a dark highlight, I have exactly the opposite.  I am not about to start over, but it is a warning to others who have this pattern that mine doesn't match the pattern.  It's still really nice though.






I'm working on the last set of flip-flops, and then I will work on the rest of the ocean before starting the "Welcome" and the bottom border.  So far, I have 12 hours devoted to this fun stitch.

    1. Yes it is!! I usually try to plug in the time since it helps me relax, but at least once per month, I'm "extra" motivated.
