Maynia update days 1-4, photo heavy

It's been busy here and warm and freezing.  Winter has come back.  I admit I am tired of cold weather - and I mean in the 20's and 30's.

May 1 - Walk the Beach.

the start of May 1

May 1 end of day

I found out the next day that the two symbols in the brown/beige blockwork is reversed

Which also means the "wave" thru Nothing and Walk are in the wrong color.

Not sure what I will do next about it.

Luckily I stitched on fabric instead of the silk gauze..

This is a brand new release and it bugs me.

May  2 brought 

The Stars of Merlin

This was the start - a number of years ago.

I'm pretty sure that I was irritated with the directions.

3 strands on 32 ct - it looked awful

bulky and like a big blob.

This was all ripped out and I started again.

It wasn't much better - turns out my fabric was actually 30 ct

didn't look so good with 1 strand

Now I am looking for a new fabric 32 or 36 ct.

same fabric, re-stitched

still blah.
